A subculture is a community of people with a shared set of ideals and values. Driven by genres of music, they attempt to rebel against the mainstream or parody elements of it, whether that would be through fashion, or political views. Elements of the subculture can become the norm, meaning it can gradually disappear into the mainstream once the generation it was formed within leave the youth culture, resulting in the ideals behind that subculture being lost. It is mostly centred within working class youth culture in an urban setting.
Due to the birth of the internet and globalisation, the definition of subculture is starting to change. It is no longer born with a sector in society or culture, it can now be born between a group from many cultures, ages and background all sharing the same interests, ideals, humour or hobby.
