What is a ‘Subculture’?
Subculture is a cultural group that is against the mainstream. They stand out to the crowd, normally having strong beliefs or interests. Involving people to have different fashion and music taste, separating from the mainstream society. This is seen as unnatural to not follow the mainstream culture, leaving subculture to sometimes be alone and not always accepted in society.
Academic sources
“Subcultures represent ‘noise’ (as opposed to sound): interference in the orderly sequence which leads from real events and phenomena to their representation in the media. We should therefore not underestimate the signifying power of the spectacular subculture not only as a metaphor for potential anarchy ‘out there’ but as an actual mechanism of semantic disorder: a kind of temporary blockage in the system of representation.”
Hebdige, D. Subculture: the meaning of style pp 90
“the place of subculture as a concept in the development of social and cultural theory, to point to the reasoning behind its selection as an analytical and descriptive vehicle, in a variety of locations, and to reveal its ambivalent and perhaps unintentional contribution to the deconstruction of the concept ‘society’. it is in this context that this work will confront its primary concern, that is, the politics of knowledge”
Jenks, C. Subculture: The fragmentation of the social pp 4 - 5
Critical Definitions
Postmodernism
“Postmodernism is the name for a movement in advanced capitalist culture, particularly in the arts. There is a sense in which if one sees modernism as the culture of modernity, postmodernism is the culture of postmodernity. The term post modernism originated among artists and critics in New York in the 1960s and was taken up by European theorists in the 1970s.”
Sarup, M. Post Structuralism & Post Modernism pp131-132
Antimodernism
“Antimodernism is a term used to describe the international reaction to the onslaught of the modern world that swept across industrialised Western Europe, North America, and Japan in the decades around the turn of twentieth thropology, political science, history, and feminist media studies explore antimodernism as an artistic response to a perceived sense of loss - in particular, the loss of ‘authentic’ experience.”
Lee Jessup, L. Antimodernism and Artistic Experience: Policing the Boundaries of Modernity pp1
Hypermodernism
“the goal of hypermodern deliverance moves us in the opposite direction, replacing the biosphere with the techno sphere as fully and quickly as possible in people’s lives. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the last area in which we consider the current state of the promethean dream-education. I am defining education broadly to include not only the formal inculcation of knowledge and information that children and adolescents receive in classrooms but also the messages they receive about reality from the media and popular culture today.”
Spretnack C. The Resurgence of the Real pp114
Goth subculture
This began in the early 1980s, this subculture has a specific taste in fashion (wearing mostly black) and music (mainly types of rock music).
