Week 6: Subculture & Style

5/3/2025

0 Comments

 
A subculture is a group of people within a larger culture who share different beliefs, interests, or behaviors that set them apart. For example, punk music fans might form a subculture with its own fashion and values, distinct from mainstream society. According to sociologist Sarah Thornton, subcultures often provide a sense of identity and belonging for their members (Thornton, 1995).
