youth culture
Young generation's ways
Youth culture refers to the distinctive behaviors, values, styles, and interests shared among young people, often in conscious contrast to mainstream or adult society.
It encompasses music, fashion, slang, and social attitudes that define generational identity: Punk rock emerged from 1970s youth culture.
The term can suggest rebellion or innovation, since youth cultures often challenge established norms before eventually influencing broader culture.
