What are the subjects of the youth society?
Today the life of many young people in Russia as well as in other countries of the world is influenced by popular culture. The young follow certain stereotypes that are imposed on them through TV, movies, and music. In their lifestyle they try to imitate the images of their idols.
Other young people are sports and music fans. They follow their idols in their tours and support them. Unfortunately they are intolerant to those who don't share their view. It's a specific aspect of the youth subculture that can't be ignored.
The essence of the youth subculture is informal associations. They differ in character of social morals, type of group values, peculiarities of spending their spare time. It defines the basic features of subculture development and subcultural activity which differ from a cultural kernel first of all symbolically.
Each youth subcultural phenomenon creates a specific social space in which it realizes its semiotic differences in language, costume, folklore and etc. Creation and realization of semiotic space by the members of youth community is experienced as a style of life which is particularized through the specificity of daily social interactions, processes of verbal and nonverbal communications.
I think that subcultures are not that bad as they are thought to be. Teens want to show off. But at the same time a lot of teens think about changing the world to the best. Subcultures are for mostly for young and creative. Then, I am sure, teenagers become good citizens. Some who were punks became the main editors of famous newspapers. A subculture is a way of life. It is not a fan club, it is an attributive feature of a real life.
