Subculture is a term in sociology, which refers to a smaller culture or a group of people with different behaviors and beliefs in a larger mother culture, also known as subculture. The difference between subcultures and other social groups is that they deliberately make their clothes, music or other interests different. Sub-culture is a branch of the whole culture and a unique aspect of the culture of various regions and groups caused by various social and natural factors. For example, due to the differences of class, stratum, nationality, religion and living environment, a group or regional culture with its own characteristics can be formed under the unified national culture, that is, subculture.

Sub-culture has the basic characteristics of the whole national culture, such as language and writing, behavior patterns and so on. , and has its own uniqueness. Once the subculture is formed, it is a relatively independent functional unit, which is binding on all its members.

Subculture is a relative concept. It is the subordinate culture of the whole culture. The culture of a cultural area is a subculture to the culture of the whole nation, but it is a total culture to all communities and groups in the cultural area, and the latter is a subculture. Studying subculture is of great significance to deeply understand social structure and social life.

That is, people who are in a non-central or marginal position in the city create and enjoy a special culture, and it is relative to the mainstream culture. Generally speaking, these cultures are rarely introduced by professional publications, media and exhibition units, and even ignored by professional cultural scholars. In foreign history, famous jazz and rock music used to be sub-cultures, but with the constant involvement of professionals and cultural scholars, they have become part of the formal culture. This also shows that the so-called formal culture always develops in the process of absorbing subcultures. In recent years, it has become a worldwide trend to study the urban subculture fever.
