In sociology and cultural studies, a subculture is a group of people within a culture that differentiates itself from the parent culture to which it belongs, often maintaining some of its founding principles.
While exact definitions vary, the Oxford English Dictionary defines a subculture as "a cultural group within a larger culture, often having beliefs or interests at variance with those of the larger culture." As early as 1950, David Riesman distinguished between a majority, "which passively accepted commercially provided styles and meanings, and a 'subculture' which actively sought a minority style ... and interpreted it in accordance with subversive values". In his 1979 book Subculture: The Meaning of Style, Dick Hebdige argued that a subculture is a subversion to normalcy. He wrote that subcultures can be perceived as negative due to their nature of criticism to the dominant societal standard. Hebdige argued that subcultures bring together like-minded individuals who feel neglected by societal standards and allow them to develop a sense of identity.

paulie was a rocker, a rocker till the end
spent all his years rocking out southend
tattoo's up his arms he'd die that way
but he kept on rocking til that fateful day
hey mug, look the other way
hey mug, you've had your day
dye your hair dayglo, go and look a prat
didn't they tell you mod was back
sid was a punk until his dying breath
swore he'd be a punk until the only one left
offered him a parka he changed his mind
suffice to say he's not one of the kind
hey mug, look the other way
hey mug, you've had your day
die your hair dayglo, go and look a prat
