I pulled out a few quotes from some of the readings that I thought defined subculture perfectly:
"A subculture is a group of people with a culture (whether distinct or hidden) which differentiates them from the larger culture to which they belong."
"Subcultures are essentially small groups of people who are seeking to differentiate themselves from the larger whole."
It is a way for people to branch out from the mainstream and find their true identity elsewhere.
They may have different fashion, interests, mannerisms, speech, etc.
Subcultures that I would consider I'm apart of: Alternative/Indie Rocker, Europe Traveler, 1940's chic, Coffee Addict, Animal Lover, Red lipstick & Leather wearer...
Subcultures I see around campus: Jocks, The "Selfie" girls, Fraternities, Sororities, The nerds, The goths, The hipsters, The skaters, The surfers, The stoners, The artists, The musicians...
I think a subculture that i see most repeated on my Facebook and Instagram is this "Hipster" fad, so I'm thinking this might be my best bet.
