 Hippies. A hippie subculture is not popular any more. The good times
for hippies were the 1970s their philosophy includes love, peace,
freedom. Hippies believe that love is the most powerful thing that
brings people together. To love people means accepting others as they
are, giving them freedom to express themselves. They don’t hurt
people, they are very peaceful. The way to peace is through love

A traditional hippie wears a pair of blue jeans, has long hair and
chains. Hippies live in groups together and take drugs for pleasure.
 Hippies are fond of listening to rock-and-roll which started in
the USA. The earliest musicians were Elvis Presley, Little Richard,
Buddy Holly and others. They mixed black music, white “country”
music to create rock-and-roll .It is based on electric guitar and
drums. It has strong loud beat and repeats a few simple phrases.

a leather jacket, metal chains and has brightly coloured hair.
Punks protest against values of the society. They hate those
people if only it isn’t spent on alcohol or drugs. Punks reject
everything. They want freedom and want to change the world.
A real punk is always rebellious. Punks don’t like to visit places where
everyone looks the same and thinks the same. They think it’s like
conformity.
Punk culture was designed to 1970-1980 in the USA,
Australia and Canada. Punk members express their identity in
fast, loud and violent music. They choose music which has aggressive
and offensive lyrics and performance.
In the 1970s some bands like The Sex Pistols, The Stranglers started to
play this music.
Nowadays there is some tension between punks. There are punks who
are poor, live in garages and busk to buy some beer and food. They hate
punks who earn money playing music professionally.

LET`S HAVE A TALK ABOUT OUR OWN
SUBCULTURE
My own subculture
The project was done by Osipova Marina
I have read a lot about different
subcultures, and now I know that each
of them has good and bad features.
I want to create a subculture that has only good
features.The name of my subculture is ``Joy``
The members of ``Joy``don`t take
drugs like hippies and don`t
protest against the society like
punks.They don`t wear the blackest
blacklike goths.They like to show
off but prefer bright.
Their behaviour don`t differ
from social norms,they are
optimistic and kind. They enjoy
life and want all people to be
happy.They like to be in a
collective and have many
friends.
 I am against violence and the members
of my subculture are against it too. I
hope that we will be the founders of a
new subculture ``Joy``
