a subculture is a group of people within a culture (whether distinct or hidden) which differentiates them from the larger culture to which they belong.

What is aSUB CULTURE ?

PUNK

The punk subculture includes a diverse array of ideologies, and forms of expression, including fashion, visual art, dance, literature, and film, which grew out of punk rock.

PUNK

Some punks wear tight "drainpipe" jeans, plaid/tartan trousers, kilts or skirts, T-shirts, leather jackets (which are often decorated with painted band logos, pins and buttons, and metal studs or spikes), and footwear such as Converse sneakers, skate shoes, brothel creepers, or Dr. Martens boots.

HIPPIES The hippie subculture was

originally a youth movement that began in the United States during the early 1960s .

The word hippie derives from hipster and was initially used to describe beatniks .

HIPPIES Hippies often chose brightly-colored

clothing and wore unusual styles, such as bell-bottom pants, vests, tie-dyedgarments, dashikis, peasant blouses, and long, full skirts; non-Western inspired clothing

MINIMALISTIC Minimalism describes movements in

various forms of art and design, especially visual art and music , where the work is stripped down to its most fundamental features.

GRUNGE It is a subgenre of 

alternative rock Inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal, and indie rock, grunge is generally characterized by heavilydistorted electric guitars, contrasting song dynamics, and apathetic or angst-filled lyrics. 10

GRUNGE

style of dress, body modification, make-up, hairstyle, and so on, taken on by fans of heavy metal, or, as they are often called, metalheads or headbangers.
