Asked by angelxo - Thu Dec 17 01:25:31 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They don't. Mostly they serve to recirculate misinformation, project peer pressure, ostracize independent thinkers, and institutionalize conformity. Does that sound like adult behavior to you? Alas, too many adults never grow past that point. The standard blather is that groups foster pride in identity and encourage cooperation, but I have yet to se any of these cliques do so. Every year I greet freshman college students who are overjoyed at being free from these "peer groups" for the first time.

Q. Snake bite in reference to twin piercings on the lower lip, What does this represent?
Asked by David H - Tue Oct 24 22:31:56 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Goth is, what most ignorant people stereotype as one who wears "all black" is "depressed" and is "essentially a freak". Poseurs are those who are "caught" in a certain subculture scene just for the status, credentials. Particularly, "two-sided" or lacking what's considered the prefered knowledge of that scene. Besides the obvious, snake bites are a double piercing of the lower lip. Quite usually one of either side, with a circular-bead-ring. Wanna know anything else .. ?

A. in selling things to young people : cool, young actors, sexy targeted sub group selling: hot topic for the rebellious, american eagle for the shallow spoiled rich kids youth culture is dependent on the period. currently we have the tech boom kids so the marketing and general culture for them involves technology and the latest gadgets. past youth cultures youd have to ask more specifically about to go in to. sub groups are a little different but still follow the period youth culture for example: lately there was a commercial released about two college girls that were on opposite sides of the spectrum one was rebellious wanted to be different type "wore all black" the other was the normal typical bimbo BUT they both had HP laptops.… [cont.]

Which new youth subculture will define the decade?
Q. Emo and scene seem to be dying but I've noticed two other subcultures are appearing: brootal kids and indie kids. Brootal kids dress like scene kids only darker and they listen to deathcore, grindcore and metalcore instead of typical scene music. They tend to have a "tough" attitude. Indie kids have emo hair but dress with more vintage stuff like fedoras and t-shirts over vests. They still wear skinny jeans but they don't wear a lot of black. They tend to listen to indie music and their attitude is a bit pretentious and snotty, sort of "more alternative than thou." They think of themselves as intellectuals and artists. Which group do you think will define the '10s?

Asked by mk - Wed Apr 23 09:13:23 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If I were doing this report I would put these items at the end of the report, as there are probably more subcultures within different races and religions,but still interesting. Prisons have been referred to as such because of their limited and extremes of interactions that exist within. Some believe that poor people that fall on misfortune and get caught in the Judicial "system "are somewhat of a subculture because they feel that they have become the majority of cases viewed by City and County Court systems and their lives are effected in extreme ways and there are many common views of unfairness ,and opinions among them about being in that situation. Hope that helps.

Young people in social scenes and subcultures?
Q. Generally speaking, how would you classify young people who are just entering a subculture or social scene? For example, if a 13-14 year old just starts listening to metal music, or gangsta rap and they begin imitating the idioms of those subcultures, what would you call that transition? And how would you compare those newly-assimilated youths to those who have been a part of that subculture or social scene for a long time?

A. They are both classes I wish my undergrad school offered. History of R&R will give you info about the music and Youth Subcultures will explain why some people who like certain music genres band together and what their experiences are like in a coherent group based on a similar interest (and it will also include the other subcultures listed in your description as well). The subculture class is probably mainly about the history of the subcultures and the differences between them.

Are you concerned about the LGBT knowledge of LGBT youth?
Q. I was at a gay prom (ages 13-20) and they had an intermission in which there was a drag show with local Indiana Drag Queens. There was a young couple (two girls) who were complaining that they wanted to dance, and I asked one, "What, do you not like drag?" to which she replied, "Who's drag?" I then said, "Drag shows, like this" and pointed at the stage" and she said, "I don't know what that is..." I feel as if this should be a common knowledge word among LGBT (including youth) even if it is just a form of semi-unrelated entertainment. Also, some words such as "Westboro," "Stonewall," or "Fred Phelps" go by with blank faces. Don't you think that if you are part of a "subculture" you should at least be somewhat knowledgeable on the topic… [cont.]

Asked by Charles Freck - Fri Jun 12 03:43:06 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. When you actually think about it, Goth can't make a "comeback" because "coming back" is a reference to a *mainstream* fashion, like that 80s comeback fashion (which I am personally not very fond of). Goth isn't mainstream. It's underground. That's why it has survived for so long. The definition of "Goth" that most people know of is a "trend" because the public has continuously used Goth imagery in the media, but it is hardly understood (basically, poser Goth is a trend). Real Goth hasn't, no matter how many times the mainstream has tried to butcher it for all of its worth. I mean, if you see a large collaboration of Goths, it doesn't really mean much (local Goths need to collaborate somewhere afterall). I'm not questioning your Goth… [cont.]
