Reasons for development of youth culture and subcultures
  1. If youth is a social construct, then the development of youth culture is also a social construct.
    1. Research says youth culture came to Britain after the Second World War
      1. In the 1950s, Britain experienced a growth of affluence. British people had more money to spend because they were richer
        1. Young people who were leaving school at 15 had jobs and had money to spend on their chosen subculture
          1. As time went on and the school leaving age rose, young people had even more time to spend on their chosen subculture
            1. 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
