youth cultures

Youth cultures refer to the distinctive behaviors, values, fashion, language, and interests that develop among young people, often as a way to express identity and connect with peers. These cultures can be influenced by social, economic, and technological factors, creating unique subgroups like skaters, goths, or hip-hop enthusiasts. They often reflect broader societal trends but also serve as a means for youth to assert independence and explore personal identity. While varied and dynamic, youth cultures help shape social change and cultural diversity within societies.
