What is youth subculture?

• A subculture is a group of people whose
  cultural trades set them apart within a culture
  or society. In many societies teenagers turned to
  form subcultures. Youth subculture is a group of
  people whose customs and values differ from those
  of society as a whole. However, teenage
  subcultures often help shape the customs and
  values of the parent society. Teenagers
  preferences in such matters as music and clothing
  styles often affect the tastes of society as a
  whole. The youth countercultures consisted mainly
  of older adolescents, some of whom wanted to set
  up a completely free and society based on their
  ideals.

Goths

• When the Goths appeared in the early
  80s nobody thought that they would last, but they
  are still rather popular. A Goth is somebody who
  listens to Goths music and looks Gothic. One can
  tell Goths from the costume and make up. They are
  really interesting and can look really striking
  with their white skin and swept back hair. They
  are a mixture of quite a lot of fashions. The
  emphasis on black is something that is very much
  punk. But what makes them really different is
  their philosophy. They are into mystical things
  and wear silver decorations often with religious
  significance. Another thing is that they have a
  rather negative view of life. Everyone expects
  young people to be optimistic and full of life
  and enthusiasm, but Goths arent like that. They
  are quite pessimistic and interested in death
  they have this attitude that everything is
  tragic. It seems to appeal to kids, and there are
  always lots in every generation, who like to look
  on the dark rather than on the bright side of
  life.
