Hey fellow internet users.
Counter culture is a definition for someone that is involved in a creative response for a peer group, someone that does not follow rules and the norms that are pushed into them by their parents. "Ultimately the 'lads' are socialised effectively, but socialisation involves the creative response of a peer group rather than the passive acceptance of rules and norm imposed of them by adults" P688. An example for counter culture would be 'mods', 'indie', 'chavs', 'punks' and many more socials groups. These different social groups will have a different form of style such as mods are known for their certain type of style of clothing an example would be a tailor made suit. They are also known for driving motor cycles which were usually a Lambretta or a Vespa. The type of music that mods would listen to would have been smooth jazz, soul and blues. As someone who is stereotyped as an Indie, the typical indie would usually listen to alternative rock, they are known for their low budget clothing. Counter culture can also cause a moral panic as issues may be caused within these different social groups that others might not agree on.
