The younger generation is the hope of society and has always been the focus of mainstream culture to implement rights. When the style of youth subculture appears and begins to spread from bottom to top, the mainstream culture will certainly not sit idly by. It will constantly define, label, contain, spread, dissolve, disinfect, utilize and develop youth subculture.
Trying to integrate and absorb the style of subculture into the dominant social order is the process of "integration".
The brief process of collection is as follows: the emergence of subculture style, the beginning of commercial collection, and the spread of style & the beginning; With the relaxation of style, subculture style has become consumption style and market style, and subculture style has lost its resistance significance or changed its course.
The fate of youth subculture being integrated
Youth subculture is an unavoidable obstacle in the process of cognitive community. The most prestigious institution to study this group is Birmingham School, which is the source of culture that has the greatest influence on the theory of youth subculture so far.
From an empirical point of view, whether it is the middle class subculture in British history or hippies; It is also a subculture of the working class. Rogue youths, Jamaican gangs, skinheads, football hooligans, modern people and punk are all doomed to be incorporated.
In terms of time, during the 25 years from the mid-1950s to the end of 1970s, hooligans, modern and rock groups, hippies and jokers, bald heads and football hooligans, as well as the "master" punk of the above subculture, will be incorporated into or transformed into another subculture every three to five years.
