When young Russians are bored being alone they choose a group with the same interests as all teenagers do. They want:

to express themselves – 18% to show off – 11% to express their identity – 15% to protest against the parents – 11% to reject everything – 13% to have their own values and beliefs – 10% to differ from social norms – 19% to rebel against the society (old generation) – 1% to try out all sort of options – 2%

An ideal subculture... It must be a registered grouping with true values and beliefs, a grouping without violence, drugs, alcohol. Must it be a society of domestic people? Or a society of lovers of silence? It's clearly that's impossible.

Youth subcultures in modern Russia include mainly schoolboys of senior classes. Psychologists consider, that in this way teens form their self- assessment. It is easier for them to assert themselves in groupings.

The youth believes that the fact is not in their low self -esteem : new trends in the Russian society cause changes of in the life of young people. They have to conform or to protest against society’s standards.
