Nataliya Kolodiy: Community of Youth Culture

Nataliya Kolodiy


Youth culture generally refers to the ways young people (adolescents and teenagers) differentiate themselves from the general culture of their community.

Speaking about Fashion in 2003 it was quite cool to keep one's most important things – keys, wallet, mobile phone, on the end of a long chain that hangs down your leg. Though the person should have to be young to do this. I don’t think any of the followers of this fashion realize that it comes from the Britain about fifty years ago. In those days, that long chain was one component of the “Edwardian” style. It went together with a big jacket and very narrow trousers - a mixture of aristocratic fashion from before the first world war and the clothes of Mississippi gamblers. The people who dressed like this were the “Teddy Boys”, the original youth culture, and, first of all, they were just the young who dressed in a particular style, but youth culture isn’t only about the clothes you wear. In Britain, youth culture is much more than fashion. Read more

Hi Natalia,
I loved reading your post. I remember seeing this chain thing a lot in our streets too years ago. I like fashion, but I like even more people, who come up with their own unique styles. :-) Thanks for sharing this.

Natalochka, I enjoy reading your post a lot! As for me, I think that first examples of youth culture emerged in 1920s with the developing of flapper lifestyle. So it is interesting to know, why do you support other point of view?

Young people are hungry for new life experience which they lack and try to compensate with actions sometimes sensible sometimes not. Fashion is the easiest way to show up one's views. And the most profitable in terms of adults trying to get profit in cash out of this will to be different,unique,etc. It's so easy to manipulate by youngsters unless they are looking for knowledge not only their look. Furthermore, their looks should reflect their inner world not the opposite.
