YOUNG!
For almost 100 years, parts of the youth have had a pronounced need to find themselves by stepping more or less out of the large community and instead creating smaller, denser, and often more noisy communities. In the past, they were called subcultures or subterranean environments. Today we prefer to talk about style communities or identity groupings — dear children have many names, and the child has always had funny hair, strange clothes or very strong attitudes.
You could gather about music and lifestyle, but at least as often it was about distancing oneself from the existing society, the nice bourgeoisie and everything that smelled of liver steaks and detached houses. Since the mid-1980s, however, something new has happened: The distance from underground to mainstream has become extremely short. Where something before might be obscure for years, today -- literally -- minutes pass from riot to merchandise. With social media even shorter.
The concept of subculture covers a lot, and here we are going to meet the classic ones. The swing bandits, who outraged the bourgeoisie and took jazz all the way out there, where adults became nervous and had to beat. The leather jackets, which struck at everyone including himself. Provoes as... Hippies who wanted to save the world, gladly with flowers, weed and community singing. And then punks and hip hoppers, each in their own way shouting very loudly, because no one was listening anyway.
Most of the impulses came from outside, but Denmark also managed to create its own, distinctive subculture — it was not as sympathetic as others, and it has almost been forgotten again. You will hear about it though.
Today the picture looks different. Modern subcultures are often mass movements: trends, aesthetics, and identities shared globally, simultaneously, and in vast quantities. Rebellion in droves. Underground in broad daylight. And everyone knows it.
