Subcultures - one of the links of culture, which gives a definition of the temporary space in which it exists. By what subcultures are most popular, it is possible to determine the state of the country in which they exist. The way the majority relates to the non-standard state of young people, sometimes you can even understand how the government relates to the people. This topic was chosen in such a formulation because it is the aesthetic tastes in the field of music that cause the formation of subcultural groups. The general musical genre, which was the reason for the formation of a particular subcultural group, brings a sense of community among its participants. Youth is a group that carries the potential for further renewal of society, and therefore the study of this particular demographic group is important, since it is it that is particularly acute in responding to all events in the life of the country.
