Youth Culture
Young people often want to reject conventional life to differ from others. The simplest way is to do something that shocks the people around you. That’s how youth cults such as hippies, punks, rollers, rappers, headskins
appear. Some young people become members of youth cults just because they have nothing more to show off
but their crazy looks. This way they manage to have attention of the others attracted. Others have rich and influential parents who are too strict to them or don’t spend enough time with their kids. So they want to do something parents won’t like. Some children consider participation in youth cults just a form of entertainment. Members of youth cults have different values and behave in their own special way. Ravers will never listen to rock music – it isn’t their style. Rollers won’t buy bikes, and punks have tattoos made on their bodies and reject conventional dresses. In general youth cults have a tendency of disappearing after a definite period of life. Only those , which develop, remain. Among them are English punks. I think that if members of youth cults really get what they want and do not make harm to others, they might continue being themselves.
