Subculture Edit Meaning

1.

A branch off from mainstream culture embracing it's own unique style. Often times, as more and more people do it, pieces of various subcultures become mainstream.

Gothic kids have a subculture all their own.

2.

A culture that has formed in mainstreem culture and then take it under ground.

The easiest subculture to use as an example is the gothscene. It started from the punk movment and then went underground when punk and goth music became "un-popular" (ie no longer in the pop charts) where it flourished. The goth scene now has its own fashion, sociological and poltical veiws, religions (Wicca, Satanism, agnostisism and even budism have all been accepted by the goth scene) as well as its own music scene.

Subculture's should be treated as any other cultures, with an open mind.

Goth/Industrial, Hip Hop (Until recently when it became mainstreem and was pillaged by the Chavs), Punk and Muslim/Sikh/Jewish/Hindu cultures when taken to the west become sub-culture.

A subculture is a group of people with different ideologies and usually fashion and music tastes then that of the larger culture they are a part of. Many subcultures also detest the "mainstream" and commercialization.

Several subcultures flourish because of the almost genetic need for people to belong, most notably youth. Because of this, many corporations have taken notice of them and begun to exploit and profit off said subculture's music or fashion tastes. This leads to a complete bastardization of the original intentions of the group and may kill off the group entirely.

In short, a subculture is a group detaching itself from "mainstream" society, catering to certain people's ideologies and preferences.

The punk movement is an excellent example of the rise and fall of a subculture.

I really liked Goth stuff when it was popular and still do, but instead of thinking for myself and accruing music and styles from a wide range of influences, I'm going to conform to the Goth Subculture.
