My main theorist is Dick Hebdige...a media theorist and sociologist...wrote a book on subcultures calld "Subcultures"...a subculture is a set of people with a set of behaviors and beliefs....Subcultures can be distinctive because of the age, race, ethnicity, class, and/or gender. The qualities that determine a subculture as distinct may be aesthetic, religious, political, sexual, or a combination of these factors. Members of a subculture will often signal their membership through a distinctive and symbolic use of style. Style includes fashions, mannerisms, and argot (Hebdige 1981).
