Youth subculture refers to the distinct cultural practices, values, and interests that emerge among young people, often as a response to mainstream culture. These groups typically share common styles, music, and beliefs, creating a sense of identity and belonging. Examples of youth subcultures include punks, goths, and skaters, each with unique aesthetics and ideologies. These subcultures can influence fashion, language, and social behavior, often challenging societal norms. They provide a space for self-expression and exploration, allowing young individuals to connect with peers who share similar experiences and perspectives. Youth subcultures can also impact broader cultural trends and movements.
