subculture
A subculture is a group of people within a larger culture who share distinct beliefs, values, and behaviors that set them apart. These groups often form around shared interests, lifestyles, or identities, such as punk, goth, or skateboarding. Subcultures can influence fashion, music, and social norms, creating a unique identity that members embrace.
Members of a subculture often communicate through specific symbols, language, or styles that reflect their shared experiences. This can include unique clothing, music genres, or art forms. Subcultures can provide a sense of belonging and community for individuals who may feel marginalized in mainstream society.
