  2. Einstadt suggested that these sub-cultures helped young people cope with the pressures and identity crisis they suffered during adolescence HOME

  3. Examples of sub-cultures may include Skinheads and Hippies from the 60s and 70s, or Goths and Punks from the 80s. HOME

  4. However Einstadt’s explanation does not account for the many youths who do not join sub-cultures but still have to go through adolescence. HOME

  5. Deviance amongst youths implies that youth cultures do not provide the harmonious integration suggested by Functionalists. HOME

  6. Other functionalist writers have suggested that youth culture is a ‘rite of passage.’ HOME

  7. However, not all youth sub-cultures are working class, for example the Mods of the 50s and the Hippies of the 60’s were mainly from middle class backgrounds. HOME

  8. This implies that research into youth sub-cultures has been ‘malestream’ and ethnocentric. HOME

  9. Hodgkinson’s research suggested that music was a key factor in attraction to the Goth sub-culture. HOME

  10. Other reasons why young people join sub-cultures were investigated by Neo-Marxists such as the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Birmingham. HOME
