urban culture
Downtown social scene
Urban culture encompasses the lifestyles, attitudes, arts, and social patterns associated with city life, particularly as developed in predominantly Black American communities.
The term covers hip-hop music, street fashion, graffiti art, and distinctive speech patterns that emerged from inner-city neighborhoods.
Urban culture has influenced mainstream fashion worldwide.
The label sometimes functions as a euphemism for Black culture, which critics note obscures both its racial origins and the contributions of specific communities.
