Youth Culture

The word “teenager” was used to dscribe the category of young people from 13 to 19 years of age, around the late th century they were usually referred as “young adults” and still in today mostly. Started forming an age group over the years with its own riguals, rights and demads. Not jut an age group but also the new age of social life in individuals when they come of age between a child and adult.

Many youth cultures were starting to form, giving rise to hippies in Europe around the year 1962, or as they were commonly referred as “beatnkis and the United States who favour love and freedom along with the freedom of music, drugs, and even sex while going places where ever they like to make a revolution, race hardly even matters to them as they. Usually criticised by many in those days as people who don’t want to work for careers and against governments and militaries even after the second world war. They started a series of festivals. Spirituality became more open in religious cultures and more popular into rock music back in those days, the Beatles were among the most popular bands in the music media.

  Right: Usually common when youthful fans are very entheusiastic of meeting their idols from music bands, TV shows and movies. Police and security tend to keep them from getting too close to them should they get out of control. Although judging by the picture it was not so easy keeping the frantic crowd under control.

A growing number of teenagers started to rebel, mostly against their parents in favour of pursuing their own goals which can either be good or bad depends how they are raised or in the area they live in. Mainly because of the rules which makes them feel like they’re being stripped of their rights of freedom. So it kinda gave many teenagers ideas of for music, media and culture.

But in the late 20^th century, numerous gangs have been formed in cities, mostly youth cultured groups that are either good and bad in society since the 1920s. Authorities had to tckle the growing youth-related crimes in 1981. Many of the violent gangs have taken names, symbols

According to current news, students who considered leaving school tend to turn their backs because of the rising number of medium and low-level students being more accepted then those considered to be ‘overqualified’ for a job. Showing that not many would want earn a degree if they need to.

Lots of teenagers, mostly guys would wear outfits like hoodies and in the 50s, wore greaser jackets in those days when teenagers started going through many changes in the mid-20^th century.

These days, a lot of teenagers are portrayed as anti-social, drink a lot, get into trouble with authorities, smoke, get addicted to drugs and have sexual intercourse on a daily basis. Others are just portrayed as victims of certain crisis and future of the next generation. So basically, they’re all true in ways.

Japanese Youth Culture

Well known for having districts for Anime, cosplay and games for people of all ages. They have a lot of people, mainly those who are teenagers dress up in costumes not only for conventions but unique fashion sense, when watching a few music videos of japan's music it was really hard to tell if the musicians were either a guy or a woman by how they're dressed and wear make up which makes it more confusing.

The most common impact on youth culture is the Anime and Manga that more common in Japan, restaurants with bright colours and flashy advertising. In honesty many people who don't understand Japanese language will be confused or having the urge to understand what they are on about. 

Books for Teenagers

Teen books are usually the best sellers in the market for many to read, some of those I know of that are fictional in horrors, fantasy and science fiction that are most popular. Girls tend to read romantic-type of stories that have a lot of emotion and drama they like to see, while guys like action, horror and usually science fiction and fantasy most that have creative worlds.
