Reasons for development of
youth culture and subcultures
- If youth is a social construct, then the development
of youth culture is also a social construct.
- Research says youth culture came to
Britain after the Second World War
- In the 1950s, Britain experienced a growth
of affluence. British people had more
money to spend because they were richer
- Young people who were leaving school at 15 had jobs
and had money to spend on their chosen subculture
- As time went on and the school leaving
age rose, young people had even more
time to spend on their chosen subculture
- Business owners and advertisers wanted the young
people's money, so they started making products and
marketing them to the young - manipulation by the media
