    This document discusses how subcultures have changed in Britain over the last 30 years. In the 1980s and 1990s, punks, metalheads, ravers, goths and skaters were commonly seen. In the early 2000s, emos and goths were still identifiable groups. However, by 2020, subcultures seem less defined and visible. A survey found that most agree subcultures have become less defined as the internet has allowed new online subcultures to form and for trends to appear more frequently. The internet has created two new large subcultures of bloggers and gamers, while smaller trends emerge every few months. Some older subcultures have also persisted.

    SUBCULTURE IN 21ST

    CENTURY BRITAIN
    How subculture has changed in the last
    30 years.
    THE 1980 S AND 1990 S

    • You didn’t have to go far to see people, who


    belonged to such subcultures as punks, metalheads,
    ravers, goths and skaters.
    EARLY 2000 S

    • We’ve all known at least one emo or goth.


    IT’S 2020 AND…

    • …we feel like we don’t see anyone who belongs to


    a subculture. Has subculture disappeared or are
    they invisible to us?
    WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF
    SUBCULTURE?

    “A cultural group within a larger


    culture, often having beliefs or
    interests at variance with those of
    the larger culture. “
    (Oxford Reference)
    ACCORDING TO A SURVEY (2017)

    • Most agree that subcultures have


    changed
    • Most agree that subcultures have
    become less defined
    • Most agree that the internet has played
    a key role in the change
    OPINION OF A SOCIOLOGIST

    “These days, kids can watch YouTube channels


    hosted by kids their age who swear and tell the truth.
    They’ve got real life up to their eyeballs. They’re
    connected. Everything’s a subculture. People
    identify with an online persona that they cultivate”
    INTERNET CREATED TWO NEW BIG
    SUBCULTURES

    Bloggers Gamers
    (youtubers, instagrammers, tiktokers, etc)
    NEW SMALLER SUBCULTURES / TRENDS
    APPEAR ALMOST EVERY FEW MONTHS

    • VSCO girl • E-girl


    SOME OLDER SUBCULTURES ARE
    STILL ALIVE
