A Youth subculture is a
youth-based
subculture with distinct styles, behaviors and interests. According to subculture theorists such as
Dick Hebdige, members of a subculture often signal their membership by making distinctive and symbolic tangible choices in, for example,
clothing styles,
hairstyles and
footwear. However, intangible elements, such as common interests,
dialects and
slang,
music genres and gathering places can also be an important factor. Youth subcultures offer participants an identity outside of that ascribed by
social institutions such as
family,
work,
home and
school.
