| | Subculture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Subcultures are often defined via their opposition to the values of the larger culture to which they belong, although this definition is not universally agreed on by theorists. | | | This process of cultural appropriation may often result in the death or evolution of the subculture, as its members adopt new styles which are alien to the mainstream. | | | It may also be difficult to identify subcultures because their style (particularly clothing and music) may often be adopted by mass culture for commercial purposes, as businesses will often seek to capitalise on the subversive allure of the subculture in search of cool, which remains valuable in selling any product. |

| | Cultural Studies & Hebdige’s Subculture: The Meaning of Style |
| | By reconfiguring existing styles and values, youth subcultures in 1970s Britain for example, resisted worsening socio-economic conditions by using these appropriated styles and values against their parents’ generation and the parent culture of which they were part. | | | According to him, subcultures form out of their replacement of one or several previous subcultures which disappear through a process which includes commodification by the establishment and media and eventual assimilation into the larger mainstream culture. | | | According to Hebdige, subcultures are actually a reworking and reconfiguration of their parent cultures. |

| | Subculture as a Neo-Liberal Conduct of Life in Leisure and Consumption |
| | For the Birmingham School, the subcultural subject was a social citizen, deriving his or her power and obligations from being part of a collective body (that is, a coherent working-class youth subculture) within the productive field of capitalism. | | | The “postmodern” development of subcultural studies since the 1960s, according to Muggleton, has been based on this romantic ethic, as shown by its pursuit of pleasure, individualist but creative self-expression, and stylistic innovation. | | | Hebdige applied this aspect of hegemony to subculture by arguing that the incorporation of subculture into the mainstream culture took two forms: the commodity and the ideological forms. |

| | The Anarchist Subculture |
| | Ignoring the fact that art is a social and cultural category, anarchic artists claim that art opposes culture, but their activities create for them the role of cultural workers within the anarchist subculture. | | | Forgetting the critique which calls for the supersession of art through spontaneous, creative, free play by everyone, mail artists, performance artists and "anti-artists" claim this category as their own, destroying spontaneity and freedom, and valorizing the activity as art. | | | (On the fringe of the subculture are numerous flyer projects almost all of which are individual projects.) I am putting off a thorough critique of consensus for a later article. |

| | A New Approach to Youth Subculture |
| | Metal and rock music, and their associated styles, became emblems of this subculture which was a youthful response to problems faced by working-class Malays - a generationally specific articulation of an alternative value system. | | | Summary: It is common, even in Australia, to identify youth subcultures (one project identified Bogans, Nerds, Skeggs, Jocks and Gothics; and other writings identified Bodgies and Widgies, Surfing Subcultures, Ockers and Disco-maniacs, Street Kids, Louts and Legends, etc.) based on their styles of dress, musical tastes, language and forms of behaviour. | | | This is bad news for the subculture theorists. |

| | Japanese Skinheads: The Meaning of a Subculture |
| | Japanese youth choose to define themselves as skinheads because they are able to adapt the music and style to their own ideals, since the mid 1980s, when the cult first became established in Japan. | | | The roots lie in the British modernist style of the 1960s, known as mods, they were stylish kids deeply into fashion and music, leading lives like that of a young Stephen Daedalus as they immersed themselves in drugs. | | | Skinheads were forgotten for nearly a decade, even the media seemed to forget the escapades by the kids. |

| | In some ways, a subculture must be like any other culture: It must have an identifiable style of dress, music, art, values, etc. When a subculture is also a counter-culture, what it rejects in the super-culture is what defines it. | | | The gothic subculture is comprised of goths, many of whom, but not all, participate in the scene. | | | Gothic subculture is counter-culture to some, and simply subculture to others. |

| | Once upon a time, there was a girl who had done a LOT of goth/industrial/fetish clubbing (and therefore shopping) with her friends. | | | One day, well into her clubbing career, she said, "Dammit, I'm sick of seeing the same things at every store, on every site, and in every club we go to." (To which we go?) Her extra snotty friends said, "If you're gonna complain, do something about it." And SubCulture was born. | | | We believe in honesty, debauchery, scoffing at others, and banning hot pants. |

| | Chudacoff, H.P.: The Age of the Bachelor: Creating an American Subculture. |
| | Richly illustrated, anecdotal, and including a unique analysis of The National Police Gazette (the most outrageous and popular men's publication of the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century), this book is the first to describe a complex subculture that continues to affect the larger meanings of manhood and manliness in American society. | | | Rejecting the restraints and dependence of the nineteenth-century family, bachelors found sustenance and camaraderie in the boarding houses, saloons, pool halls, cafes, clubs, and other institutions that arose in response to their increasing numbers. | | | The figure of the bachelor--with its emphasis on pleasure, self-indulgence, and public entertainment--was easily converted by the burgeoning consumer culture at the turn of the century into an ambiguously appealing image of masculinity. |
