How young people express their individuality?
I am sure that each of us happened to go down the street, go by subway or just watch TV and see people who are somehow different from the others. Someone has mohawk on the head, someone wears a lot of metal, and someone in black leather rushes past you on a motorcycle. Most often it is the informal people - representatives of contemporary subcultures.
The word “informal” means unusual, bright and original. Informality is an attempt to show their individuality, to tell the grey crowd about their personality, to defy the world with its endless weekdays and alignment of all in a row.
By direction of the interests sociologist M. Topalov classifies youth associations and groups in a following way:
- Passion for contemporary youth music;
- Striving towards social activities;
- Actively engaging in certain types of sports;
- Different fans;
- Philosophy and mystery;
- Defenders of the environment.
Next I would like to mention the various subcultures of England.
Teddy Boys - a youth subculture that existed in 1950s in the UK and has seen a revival in the 70s and 90s for several times. The term "Teddy Boy" appeared in 1953 as the designation of young people from the working class, seeking to imitate the "golden youth", and dress in the fashion of the era of Edward VII.
Mods - British youth subculture which Teddy Boys. Later from the midst of the most radical mods the subculture of skinheads formed. As transport modes chose their scooters and often had clashes with the rockers and bikers (owners of motorcycles).
Skinheads. First skinheads appeared in England in the autumn of the 1968. These were tough guys, equally hating young gourmet majeure and relaxed drug-hippies. Strong fists and muscles formed the basis of subculture of children from poor suburbs.
Answer the question:
Do you think that individuality is bright and original? And informality?.. Is an attempt to show their individuality, to tell the grey crowd about their personality, to defy the world with its endless weekdays and alignment of all in a row?
