TEENAGERS' SUBCULTURES

Kinds of subcultures

Subculture as any other social event has its types and varieties. It is divided into several types.

  • First type is entertainment subculture; its aim is entertainment and communication with people of the same age and interests. Subcultures of this type give teenagers an opportunity to find those who will spend time with them having fun and doing nothing except talking and sharing their thoughts and feelings.

  • Another type of subculture is subculture where exploitative aims predominate over creative aims. This type of subcultures is common for students' communities. As a rule such subculture is formed on the base of music, art or cinematographic adoration but creation of new masterpieces takes the second place and the first place is occupied by exploitative aims. There are also subcultures the main idea of which is contradistinction of its followers to other people. At first look those are communities of bright individuals but in truth such communities destroy any individuality, as if someone would dare to express thoughts that contradict rules of community he will be mocked and excluded of the community.

  • Widely spread type of subcultures in the countries of Eastern Europe is type of westernisation. This type is distinctive by its effusive western trend. The Eastern European youth adopt behaviour and mode of life of Western youth. They dress up like western teenagers, talk like western teenagers and do everything like western teenagers. The main reason of such subcultures appearance is television which is full of western movies, music and TV-shows.
