Deviant Subculture

Deviant subculture refers to a group that adopts behaviors, beliefs, or values that differ from mainstream society’s norms. These groups often form around shared interests or identities that challenge conventional standards, such as certain music, fashion, or lifestyles. While some view these behaviors as problematic, members typically see themselves as creating their own sense of community and identity. Deviant subcultures highlight how diverse human social expressions can be and reflect how individuals seek belonging by shaping distinctive cultural practices outside traditional societal expectations.
