Punk

Raver
There are the folks who use computer – made, synthesized music, and drugs to create massive all-night dance parties in empty warehouses. They like to be in a collective. They want to try out all sort of options and are thought to be violent.

Goth
The members of this subculture wear the blackest black, with a lot of silver jewellery and have very black hair and look as this and pale as possible. The members gather together to read Bram Stoker and talk about being vampires, and about the end of the world.

Mod
There people developed their own style distinct from others. A person has college-style hair, a neat white shirt, a short jacket, or a short blazer jacket, and narrow trousers.

Are all the young VIOLENT?

Opinion about youth culture belong to an elderly person.
More violence, more vandalism exists than it did ten years ago. Many people say that their lives have been made miserable by young people out on the street late at night. Young people are more violent than ever. All those groups or subcultures are awful, because all of their members are violent.

Opinion about youth culture belong to a middle-aged person.
Violence is the symptom of problems in the society. Some social and economic problems may give rise to youth violence. Teenagers don’t live in a desert. Home, school, and neighbourhoods are part of the individual environment.
Crime for teens is an expression of their inability to join in society.
Teens don’t think much about their future life. They want to live now.

Opinion about youth culture belong to a teenager.
Subcultures are not that bad as they are thought to be. Teens want to show off.
Subcultures are for teens. Then teenagers become good citizens.
A subculture is a way of life. It is not a fan club; it is a real life for us.

Conclusion
Some people think that subculture are not that bad as they are thought to be. And I don’t think opinion is very good. For example, hippies their behaviour seems strange, their image is quite right, their values and beliefs are all wrong. They usually take drugs. And I think the unpleasant side of drugs is degradations. All of them destroy people. They’ve got that death tag on them.
