[edit] Other thought
A high school subculture is a group of students in a secondary education setting which acts as a subculture. Group members share a distinct set of behaviors, beliefs or interests which differentiate themselves from the dominant culture.
According to subculture theorists such as Dick Hebdige, members of a subculture often signal their membership by making distinctive and symbolic tangible choices in, for example, clothing or hairstyle. However, untangible elements, such as common interests, can also be an important factor. Middle and high school subcultures which show a systematic opposition to the dominant culture are often seen as countercultures in their schools.
Adolescent subcultures (sometimes called cliques) frequently identify with a larger subculture in the out-of-school world, where they may associate easily with or have traditional animosities.
