Music subcultures are distinct communities formed around shared musical tastes and lifestyles. They often emerge from specific genres, such as Punk, Hip-Hop, or Goth, and are characterized by unique fashion, values, and social practices that reflect the music's themes and messages.
These subcultures can influence broader cultural trends and often serve as a form of identity for their members. For instance, the Rave culture, associated with electronic dance music, promotes ideals of peace, love, and unity, while Metal subcultures may emphasize rebellion and individualism through their heavy sound and aesthetic.
