One more way to express a punk’s individuality Исправлено: punk’s individuality is his appearance. Fashion of the subculture involves adaptation of ordinary everyday items to the aesthetic effect. Rubber, leather and vinyl clothes are changed into trendy punk outfits adding paint, signs written with a marker or using pins, spikes, buttons or razor blades. Tight torn jeans or tartan trousers and skirts are combined with leather jackets, heavy belts and footwear including Converse sneakers, military-style spiked boots, skate shoes or brothel creepers. Another indispensable item of the fashionable look is a haircut. Usually punks have bold heads or Mohawk haircuts making their hair stand in spikes and dying it in various colors. But of course, there are some exceptions from the rules and many representatives of this subculture do not pay attention to their appearance following only the rules of the group and listening to punk rock. Rejecting some societal views punks also have created some space for andrygyny. They think that strength can be shown only by men, so masculinity is the basis of everything and gender does not mean anything. So it is not surprising that men can look like women and vice versa in this subculture.
Today the life of many young people in Russia as well as in other countries of the world is influenced by popular culture. The young follow certain stereotypes that are imposed on them through TV, movies, and music. In their lifestyle they try to imitate the images of their idols. Other young people are sports and music fans. They frequent stadiums and huge concert halls. They follow their idols in their tours and support them. Unfortunately they are intolerant to those who don’t share their view. It’s a specific aspect of the youth subculture that can’t be ignored. But many young people have other interests. For some of them getting knowledge is of primary importance. They are fond of reading serious books, listening to serious music. They go to the conservatory and theatres. They are engaged in Hi-Tech through the Internet. They are fond of stories and novels written by Victor Pelevin, Boris Akunin. The novels by Strougutsky’s are best read even today, because it is science fiction, which is very popular among young people.
I think that subculture is the culture of those who are dissatisfied with their place in society. Different subcultures have their own beliefs, value systems, fashion, and favourite music. For example the subculture of Rastafairians was based on nostalgia for a lost world. They idealized Africa. Rastafairians were Afro-Caribbean immigrants in Britain. They began to wear distinctive clothes, camouflage jackets, large hats in the red, gold and green colours of Ethiopia and put their long, uncut hair in dreadlocks. They brought to us such tapes of music as ska, reggae and hip-hop. Many subcultures developed as a result of music fusion of black and white cultures. For example skinheads, which wore heavy boots, jeans and braces and shave their hair or cut it very short. Skinheads dreamed about the revival of the traditional working class culture. Skinheads were identified with extreme right wing views. There are many other subcultures such as Hippies, Punks, Mods, Rockers, Ravers and many others. Generally they were young people with low self-respect, who did poorly at school. They opposed the traditional world in which they where settled as fiasco elements.
Subcultures are not that bad as they are thought to be. Teens want to show off. But at the same time a lot of teens think about changing the world to the best. Subcultures are for teens. Then, I am sure, teenagers become good citizens. Some who were punks became the main editors of famous newspapers. A subculture is a way of life. It is not a fan club, it is a real life for us.
Топик Субкультура рассказывает о феномене появления молодежных субкультур (или подкультур) в нашем обществе. Субкультура может отличаться от доминирующей культуры собственной системой ценностей, языком, манерой поведения, одеждой и другими аспектами. Среди молодежных субкультур (в России также используется термин «неформалы») можно назвать следующие: хиппи, панки, готы, рокеры, рейверы, скинхеды, растаманы и др. Последователи таких движений – чаще всего, молодые люди с низкой самооценкой, те, кто потерпели фиаско в реальном мире, поэтому они создают «свою» реальность.

Nowadays we are often told that young generation is absolutely impolite and disorganized. As for me, I partially agree with this opinion as there are various facts that support it.
To begin with, teenagers are reluctant to listen to their parents` advices because teens are absolutely convinced that they are always right and consequently do not need any help. They feel like looking independent and confident but, of course, in fact they can neither live on their own nor manage with all difficulties themselves. Moreover, teenagers are often very selfish and self-absorbed. They think, they are much better than other people. They do not understand thatthe way you treat people – you will be treated by them. In addition, I strongly believe that teenagers` behavior is influenced by mass media. Today most of young people have TV-sets as well as computers with permanent Internet connection in their bedrooms. Therefore, despite the fact that a lot of TV programmes are inappropriate for teens they watch them because few parents actually check up what their children watch. So, programmes containing offensive language, scenes of violence and loud screeches influence teens badly. It is really difficult for children to determine the difference between the reality and the fantasy. Hence, they start imitating the violent behaviour they see in their favourite programmes.
However, there are people who oppose this view. They suppose that teens seem to be rude and selfish due to their age. Their character is changing, they are growing up and have to take responsibilities and responsibility for their actions. It is very difficult for them to cope with these problems, that is why they become aggressive.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that a lot depends on parents and the way a child is bringing up. If a teenager has the common sense, then he or she will be able to solve any problem and improve his or her behavior.
Перевод:
Сегодня мы часто слышим, что молодое поколение невежливое и неорганизованное. Что касается меня, я частично согласна с этим мнением, так как существует множество фактов доказывающих это.
Начнем с того, что подростки не слушаются своих родителей, потому что они абсолютно уверены, что всегда правы, и, следовательно, не нуждаются ни в чьей помощи. Они испытывают желание выглядеть независимыми, но, на самом деле, они, конечно, не могут ни самостоятельно жить, ни справляться со всеми возникающими трудностями сами. Подростки считают, что они лучше других людей. Они не хотят понять, что “как аукнется, так и откликнется”. Более того, я уверена, что детское поведение подвержено серьезному влиянию средств массовой информации. В настоящее время у большинства молодых людей в комнате есть телевизор, а также персональный компьютер с постоянным Интернет-соединением. Благодаря этому, несмотря на то, что многие телевизионные программы не подходят для детского просмотра, они смотрят их, потому что редкие родители действительно следят за этим. Итак, программы, содержащие ненормативную лексику, сцены насилия и громкие крики, отрицательно воздействуют на подростков. Они начинают повторять жестокое поведение, увиденное на экране, так как они не видят разницу между реальной и экранной жизнью.
Однако некоторые люди не согласны с таким мнением. Они полагают, что тинэйджеры кажутся грубыми и высокомерными из-за своего возраста. Их характер меняется, они взрослеют, им приходится нести ответственность за свои действия. Им трудно справляться со всеми этими проблемами, поэтому они становятся агрессивными.
В заключении, я абсолютно уверена, что многое зависит от родителей и воспитания. Если у подростка есть здравый смысл, тогда он способен решить любую проблему и исправить своё поведение.

Young people have a particular relationship with the world. There are many groupings (subcultures) that have interests different from those of the mainstream culture. A particular cultural grouping is a way for young people to express their individuality (identity). By the mid-60s teenagers had begun to form distinct cultural groupings. Most young people in Britain follow some kind of youth culture: rocker, hacker, raver, skinhead, hippies, Goth, punk…
Why do teens choose a subculture?
A subculture is a way of life. It isn’t a fan club, it’s a real life. It seems to them that the parents are always saying: No! That everything about them: their hair, their music, clothes, the way they talk, their dreams are considered bad by grown-ups. The young people are unsure of where they are going. So it’s a way of having something that they can say they belong to and that they are “whatever”.
Often young people do something not because they want to do it. They do things because everybody around does or because they think it’s impolite to refuse.
The inspiration to form a youth culture comes out of a combination of fashion, style and music. A subculture is group with a distinct style and identity. Different subcultures have their own beliefs, values, fashions…
Nevertheless, members of different subcultures may have something similar in their image, behavior, etc…
Some people think that all subcultures are awful. And I think this opinion is absolutely right.

My relation to subculture is different. Subculture is a good thing on the one hand, because the young people can go to some groups and they can communicate with the friends. These young people are similar in interests and hobbies. All of them have common topics for dialogues. As a rule, they are the musical fans. It shows their unity to think in the same way.
Unfortunely, subculture influences on the man not from the best part, because majority of the members have some negative features. Usage of drugs, usage of alcohol, their behavior, which is out of the law in most cases, are some of them. They are Hippies, Punks, Goths, Bikers. Mods and Emoes are other, the better ones.
It seems to me, subculture was formed for the purpose the man would express his individuality, but it is not the only way to make it. Sport, for example, is extensible consept. I want to advise all people not to enter into such groups. They should say “No!”
I want to say: “Subculture is style of life for some people, but it`s bad style, because many young people kill themselves in most cases. So my relation to subculture is negative”.
Моё отношение к субкультурам неординарно. С одной стороны, субкультура – хорошее занятие: молодые люди могут собираться в группы и общаться с друзьями. У этих молодых людей схожие интересы и увлечения. Все они имеют общие темы для разговора. Как правило, они музыкальные фанаты. Это объединяет их мышдение в одном направлении.
К несчастью, субкультура влияет на человека не с лучшей стороны, потому что большинство членов субкультуры имеют некоторые негативные черты. Употребление наркотиков, употребление алкоголя, их поведение, которые в большинстве случаев выходят за рамки закона, некоторые из них. Это Хиппи, Панки, Готы, Байкеры. Моды и Эмо другие, лучше.
Мне кажется, субкультура была сформирована с целью выражения человеком своей индивидуальности, но эо не единственный способ самовыражения. К примеру спорт – обширное понятие. Я хочу посоветовать всем людям не вступать в такие группы. Они должны сказать: “Нет!” Я хочу сказать: “Субкультура – стиль жизни для некоторых людей, но это очень плохой стиль, потому что многие молодые люди кончают жизнь самоубийством в большинстве случаев. Моё отношение к субкультуре негативное в большей части.”

Subculture is style of life for many young people. Most men concern themselves to one or other group. They follow style of hairdress, clothes, mentality, which are typical for different groups. The youth take drugs, alcohol and sometimes they are violent and aggressive too thanks to subculture.
Some people think, that subculture is useful. Firstly, youth people meet with each other and hear many new things. Secondly, people take part in meetings, where they listen to music and rest. Thirdly, the men help each other, when member of group need to help.
But other people consider, subculture and its followers are dangerous for society. Firstly, members of some groups think, that force is only decision of many arguments. Secondly, people use drugs, alcohol in order to relax. They become addict, weak-willed. Thirdly, different groups make war between each other, they make massacre, oppose to ceremonial power.
In my opinion, subculture unite people only in within the limits of one or other group. It result in disagreements and hostility between men of different subcultures. I think, that subculture is not useful. We do not need in it, in order to meet with men. We should not imitate in style of life, mentality, because it deprives their individuality and often lead to bad.
Для многих молодых людей субкультура – стиль жизни. Большинство из них относят себя к той или иной группе. Они придерживаются стилю в прическе, одежде, мышлении, которые типичны для различных групп. Молодежь принимает наркотики, алкоголь и иногда они склонны к насилию, агрессивны тоже благодаря субкультуре.
Некоторые считают, что субкультура полезна. Во-первых, молодые люди общаются друг с другом и узнают много новых вещей. Во-вторых, люди принимают участие в собраниях, где они слушают музыку, отдыхают. В-третьих, люди помогают друг другу, когда член группы нуждается в помощи.
Но другие считают, что субкультура и ее последователи опасны для общества. Во-первых, члены некоторых групп думают, что сила – единственное решение многих споров. Во-вторых, люди употребляют наркотики, алкоголь для того, чтобы расслабиться. Они становятся наркоманами, зависимыми . В-третьих, различные группы враждуют друг с другом, они устраивают погромы, выступают против официальной власти.
По моему мнению, субкультура объединяет людей только в рамках той или иной группы. Она приводит к разногласиям и враждебности между людьми в различных группах. Мы не нуждаемся в ней, чтобы общаться с другими людьми и не должны подражать в стиле жизни, мышлении, потому что это лишает своей индивидуальности и часто приводит к плохому.
