My own subculture The project was done by Belimova Olesya

I`d like to present a project about my own subculture. You know, teens are often influenced by so-called ``bad guys`` and begin to smoke, take drugs and drink. They reject everything and rebel against the older generation. Besides, they want to express their individuality.

I have read a lot about different subcultures, and now I know that each of them has good and bad features.

I want to create a subculture that has only good features. The name of my subculture is ``Joy``.

The members of ``Joy``don`t take drugs like hippies and don`t protest against the society like punks. They don`t wear the blackest black like goths. They like to show off but prefer bright colours and listen to dance music. They like to go in for sports They are active and have many hobbies.

Their behaviours don`t differ from social norms, they are optimistic and kind. They enjoy life and want all people to be happy. They like to be in a collective and have many friends.

I am against violence and the members of my subculture are against it too.

I hope that we will be the founders of a new subculture ``Joy``
