From culture to subculture and youth cultures

Abstract

Many times, the concepts of cultures generate a similar idea, which show that culture is opposed to nature. These notions are opposed to the idea of ​​elitist culture and racist theories, it refutes the idea which says that here are educated and uneducated people. The hegemonic culture distributes the cultural power. On the other hand, the relationship between young people and this dominant culture is mediated by different instances in which the dominant culture negotiates the different scenarios. The collective memory of young people determines a place to rediscover forgotten marginal territories and give them a meaning. Therefore, the manifestations and productions of these groups are point of reference for social criticism, causing stereotypes and prejudices towards these urban-marginal groups.
