Ideas for an art project based on youth subcultures?
Q. I need to produce a piece of art work based on youth subcultures and the feelings of identity within these groups, ie the mods and rockers, punks, skinheads, skaters etc. Does anybody have any ideas? How does it fit in with identity?
Asked by Anna S - Mon Nov 24 11:44:54 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I guess that the main "identity" is displayed by the styles of clothing worn You dont say in which medium you will be working - maybe a series of figures each showing the styles typically worn by each group - the spaces bettween the figures could show smaller figures of the "society concept of normal" kids. each of the main figures could have a newspaper type headline story about the notable events of the era or ie modes and rockers riot in brighton. You could maybe also make up images to look like album covers where each song title copies something about each idendity

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?
Asked by Chaos - Fri Oct 30 16:35:10 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. maybe they are trying to find themselves, but others would look at them as posers. Posers are people who transition too fast.

Is anyone part of an interesting subculture/youth culture?
Q. Or if not, anyone know anything about different subcultures/neo-tribes/yo ... cultures? I'm doing a report on different types of subcultures and comparing them - anybody know any good websites to go on or where i could go for info?
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.

Asked by Jane P - Tue Feb 3 17:13:03 2009 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. One of the main reasons is because the only people who made any theories about sociological studies of youth subculture were men including Talcott Parsons, Karl Marx, Stuart Hall, Stan Cohen and so on. So obviously their theories come from a man's perspective. At the time that some of these men published obviously women and girls were not thought of or were thought of in a light beneath men. The second could be that members of subculture often signal their membership by choices that are different and mean something like fashion or hair styles or footwear. Also in their choices of slang words or who they associate with or where they choose to hang out. In the eyes of society men usually lead and women follow. Hope this helps if she is… [cont.]

emo? what do you think?
Q. A subculture known for black fingernails, angled bangs and rock music, popular among some Russian teenagers, is under attack. On Monday, the Department of Education of the Nizhny-Novgorod oblast called for a campaign to combat a movement known as emo . The classification, which originated from an independent music movement in the United States, is short for emotional, and now relates as much to a fashion style as a genre of music. The Department s move comes after the local branch of the Federal Security Service Directorate (UFSB) brought forth a report describing repeated instances of unconventional religious trends, and civic organizations disseminating ideas of a negative youth subculture.

Does anyone actually refer to themselves EMO?
Q. I have only ever heard emo directed at others as a derogatory term. I know its publicized as a youth subculture however I have never met anyone who says they are emo. Even if they fit the sterotyped fashion and music tastes. So is the term just a parody for teen angst or an actual subculture that alot of mainstream people make fun so? Forgive me if this sounds ignorant but I did a class on pop culture at university and there was lot of contradictions in the discussions. Nobody seem to relate much to the topic only the usual sacrcastic comments. I don't know if being in Australia makes any difference, perhaps its not as popular. Please let know what you guys think. Especially if you identity with this 'culture'.

'Chav' is often used as a stereotype to refer to white, poorly educated, aggressive youths, but youth and aggression are not the defining attributes of a 'chav'. The term is similar to America's 'white trash' stereotype.
