Subculture

Subculture refers to a cultural group that seeks to differentiate itself from a larger culture that is usually referred to as the mainstream culture. Representatives or members of a particular subculture tend to use distinctive symbolic style in appearance and behavior, including clothing, accessories, grooming, symbolism, music and lifestyle preferences and interests. Subcultural symbolism tends to penetrate many identity-related expression outlets. In many cases subcultures tend to be an inspiration source for fashion trends. The definition of a subculture may have implications or associations with the following concepts and terms:

• Analyzing subcultures in contrast to the mainstream culture;
• Linking subcultures to alternative fashions and alternative lifestyles;
• Analyzing subcultures from the perspective of Zeitgeist.
