“He’s so nice, he never asks for THOSE pics, he opens the door for me and he asks for consent.”
“He’s doing the bare necessities, stop giving into crush culture.”

Get the Crush Culturemug. a counter culture is not a culture that is different from the main culture. its not emo, ska, hippie. those are called sub culture. COUNTER CULTURE is a culture that opposes the main culture and the main culture opposes it. this would include gangs, kkk, skinheads, etc.. By studying countercultures we can see what flaws we have in real culture.

Get the counter-culturemug. Hello, today I am going to explain the many sub cultures in and around the UK.
A sub culture is defined by what style a person is usually forced to be as a teenager. In the UK there are two main sub cultures these are:
A rock music based influenced culture
A Inner city based culture
At present in 2006 the most common term for these two cultures is 'Chav' (a inner city culture) and 'Emo' (a rock music culture).
But these two sub cultures can be catorgorized further. For the rock music culture the following sub sub cultures can be catorgorized:
Grunger - Would usually wear Vans or converse shoes, denim jeans (dark blue) and a black hoodie with a band logo written on it. Enjoy old-fashioned metal music such as Nirvana and Him. See Grunger for more detail.
Emo - This is a relatively new culture. It was originally based on self harming and depression. Emo is short for emotional rocker which describes the style of music. The music is described as Quote: 'Punk music on estrogen'. Clothing is often black with converses. See emo for more detail.
Skater - Fashion style can vary depending how grunger or indie influened they are. But it must be said that Skaters always wear skate shoes (most commonly Vans). Oh yeah, free time will always be spend skating.
Indie - I'll begin with music. In the 60's it was all about the Beatles, 70's Rolling stones, 80's the Clash, 90's Ash and 00's Feeder. Indie can also be described as punk. Indie is one of the few rock music influenced sub cultures that are not american influenced (union jack all the way!). Most commonly found at british festivals. Hard to describe fashion. See Indie
Goth - Dark, dark, dark, version of emo but without the depression. Music includes evanesance. Fashion is dark and pircings is common.
To conclude rock music influenced cultures, (without being biased) in my opinion indie is the most respected because it is never on a 'war' with another sub culture.
Inner city cultures are some of the least resepected in the UK. These cultures start in poor destricts of major cities such as London or New York. Teenagers who fall into these catorgories are often poor and get bored so they turn to crime and antisocial behavior and underage sex.
Chav's - Where do I begin? Up until 2004 this select group used to be called Townies or Rude Boys (rudies for short. In 2004 this group had there name changed to Chav's (I belive this stands for Council Housed And Violent - which is a good description). I could go on about Chav's or townies for years, see Chav.
Yanks - Firstly I apologise is some people find this offensive. The american version of chav. But some how this culture migrated to the UK. This is all about gangs, guns, drugs, knives, rappers and black men trying to be harder than other men. In the UK this is a serious problem. This culture is a threat to society because they shoot, stab and drug people up so they earn 'respect' from their peers. I do realise though that many people who enjoy rap music and hip hop are not a threat to society - this is a sterotype.
Inner city cultures have a very unisex clothing style and listen to 'black music' i.e hip-hop, garage, rap and R'n'B.
To conclude on Sub Cultures I would like to conclude that whilst writing this I tried to put fact and not opinion. I also tried not to be biased. Whatever culture you decide is best for you as a 10 year old. Find a good one that you can enjoy for life (thats emo ruled out then hahaha). For me personally I have always been rock music influended and constanly asked where I belong in the world. Thank you for taking the time to read my description.

In 2002, when I was 11, I remember a famous occasion when I was asked: "Are you a Grunger or a rude boy?".
I said: "I don't know"
He said: "What make are your shoes?"
I said: "Addidas"
He said: "That makes you a rude boy"
I Said: "Thats nice to know"
Thats Sub Cultures my friends :)

Get the Sub Culturesmug. Relating to being on safari.
- The purposeful immersion by one racial, cultural, and/or socio-economic group into the surroundings, cultural trappings and even geography of another group, which ultimately feeds into the Safariist's own deeply rooted feelings of both jealousy and/or superiority.
- Treating the culture, religion, food, music, language, sexual orientation and overall identity of more "exotic" groupings as an interesting diversion, entertainment or fad, primarily there for a Safariist to enjoy as pop entertainment.
- Viewing the differentness of others as condescendingly "precious," "cute" or "neat."
- An intense fascination by the real or wholly perceived exoticm of others.
- Akin to Caucasian safari goers in Africa, ensconced safely behind their pith helmets, armed guards, and lion-proof glass, viewing the rare and exotic wild animals of the Serengeti - just going about their normal, mundane existence in their natural habitat - with giddy fascination, wonder, and an odd combination of envy and pity.

Get the Cultural safarimug. One cannot talk about the culture of 2010 without dividing the decade in half.
The first five years were pretty damn good. Pop culture was at its peak during this time, characterized by sensational music videos like gangnam style and the harlem shake, and pop artist icons such as Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, and Katy Perry. During this time period, EDM (primarily dubstep, electro and big room house) had become the new standard of pop music, slowly replacing rock-influenced pop music of the 2000s. Internet meme culture was becoming more and more mainstream, characterized by troll memes, rage comics, impact font image macros, and—by late 2014—finally evolving into the more familiar dank meme culture (shrek, mlg montage parodies). Other memorable cultural phenomenons around this time include Kony 2012, the "end of the world" on Dec 21 2012, and the ALS ice bucket challenge. This was also the time where smartphones and tablets were on the rise, laying the foundation to today's smartphone-driven society. Overall the first half of this decade was pretty cool and entertaining, lighthearted even, and did not disappoint.

Overall the first half of this decade was pretty cool and entertaining, lighthearted even, and did not disappoint.
The second half, however, is where everything went downhill. Not even starting with the apocalyptic election of Donald Trump, pop culture in general began devolving into a cesspit of mediocrity, where the entire industry seems to have shifted to a more methodical approach, relying more on generic yet effective formulas than ever before. This was the time when fidget spinners and dabbing were actually a thing, and when ASMR, mukbang, and slime videos started becoming all the rage. It is also in this second half of the decade where politics and social justice became a large area of concern (and contempt) to the public eye, which led to the widespread use of terms such as 'SJW', 'snowflake', alt-right', and 'liberal cuck'. Memes have also devolved, relying heavily on shallow humour, cringe, making innocent things look vile, and absurdity. Pretty much the second half of this decade is just a more shallower, convoluted, and depressing version of the first half.
Other notable cultural trends of the second half include, but are not limited to: fidget spinners
Person 1: Man, I miss 2010s culture, back when we had rage comics and back when filthyfrank was still active
Person 2: So I guess the 2010s must be your favourite decade
person 1: Well yes, but actually no.
