Youth subcultures

Nowadays the life of many teenagers in Ukraine as well as in other countries of the world is influenced by popular culture. The young follow certain stereotypes that are imposed on them through TV, movies, and music. In their lifestyle they try to imitate the images of their idols. That's how subcultures appear.  Young people of different subcultures have a particular relationship with the world. There are many groupings that have interests different from those of the mainstream culture. A particular cultural grouping is a way for young people to express their individuality (identity). Most young people in Britain and the USA follow some kind of youth culture: rocker, hacker, raver, skinhead, hippies, Goth, punk, baker, emo and others. Why do teens choose  subcultures? What are their unique features? How do parents should react? These are the main problem questions which you will discuss in this WebQuest.
