Search Results - Subculture

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

In sociology, anthropology and cultural studies, a subculture is a group of people with a culture (whether distinct or hidden) which differentiates them from the larger culture to which they belong. If a particular subculture is characterized by a systematic opposition to the dominant culture, it may be described as a counterculture.

As early as 1950, David Riesman distinguished between a majority, "which passively accepted commercially provided styles and meanings, and a 'subculture' which actively sought a minority style ... and interpreted it in accordance with subversive values".[1] In his 1979 book Subculture the Meaning of Style, Dick Hebdige argued that a subculture is a subversion to normalcy. He wrote that subcultures can be perceived as negative due to their nature of criticism to the dominant societal standard. Hebdige argued that subcultures bring together like-minded individuals who feel neglected by societal standards and allow them to develop a sense of identity.

In 1995, Sarah Thornton, drawing on Pierre Bourdieu, described "subcultural capital" as the cultural knowledge and commodities acquired by members of a subculture, raising their status and helping differentiate themselves from members of other groups.[2] Ken Gelder argued in 2007 that subcultures are social, with their own shared conventions, values and rituals, but they can also seem "immersed" or self-absorbed; a feature that distinguishes them from countercultures.[3] Gelder identified six key ways in which subcultures can be understood

Subcultures can be distinctive because of the age, ethnicity, class, location, and/or gender of the members. The qualities that determine a subculture as distinct may be linguistic, aesthetic, religious, political, sexual, geographical, or a combination of factors. According to Dick Hebdige, members of a subculture often signal their membership through a distinctive and symbolic use of style, which includes fashions, mannerisms, and argot.[5] They also live out particular relations to places; Ken Gelder talks about "subcultural geographies" along these lines.

5. Goth And The Internet
September 22, 2009

If you are online looking for the word Goth you might be misguided to some other web sites that might provide you more information about East Germanic tribal people and their history.

10. Women's Clothing - Subculture Clothing Online
September 14, 2009

In most cases the decision of what clothes one should buy is made basically upon the feelings that are generated by his lifestyle. In the past people’s lifestyles were dictated by the conditions they were in, mostly religion, society and morals. For example, Americans usually might be seen in jeans while Russian people would like to wear simple shirt. Nowadays, how people act, what they say and what they feel is not mainly predetermined by world that is around them as it is by the culture they belong to. And when we say culture, in the modern world this does not directly mean the culture ... (read more)

12. Confessions of a bike flipper
September 10, 2009

It’s 6 a.m., Saturday morning and it’s drizzling ever so lightly. I feel like a private investigator, sitting in my car, drinking coffee and jamming to Poison’s greatest hits. What exactly is the song “Unskinny Bop” about anyway? Patiently, I’m waiting for that red Nissan pickup to park in an imposing spot, adjacent to me. Yes, this is the life of a bike flipper. What exactly is a bike flipper, you ask? A bike flipper seems to be a fringe subculture of the cycling community.
