Subculture

{ A subculture is a group of people within a cultural society that differentiates itself from the values of the conservative, standard or dominant culture to which it belongs, often maintaining some of its founding principles. Subcultures develop their own norms and values regarding cultural, political, and sexual matters. Subcultures are part of society while keeping their specific characteristics intact. Examples of subcultures include hippies, hipsters (which include 1940s original parent subculture), goths, steampunks, bikers, punks, skinheads, gopnik, hip-hoppers, metalheads, cosplayers, otaku, Greaser, furries, hackers and more. The concept of subcultures was developed in sociology and cultural studies. Subcultures differ from countercultures. {
