Sub-Culture - GCSE Sociology Definition

A sub-culture is a small group of people within a larger society who share their own unique beliefs, values, and behaviours that make them different from the main culture. These groups often form because of shared interests, like music, art, or hobbies, or because they feel different from the larger society. For example, skateboarders, gamers, or goths are all sub-cultures because they have their own styles and ways of thinking. Sub-cultures help people express their identities and feel like they belong to a community, even if they are different from most people around them.
