Youth culture

Youth culture refers to the societal norms of children, adolescents, and young adults. Specifically, it comprises the processes and symbolic systems that are shared by the youth and are distinct from those of adults in the community.^[1]

An emphasis on clothes, popular music, sports, vocabulary, and dating typically sets youth apart from other age groups.^[2] Within youth culture, there are many constantly changing youth subcultures, which may be divided based on race, ethnicity, economic status, public appearance, or a variety of other factors.^[3]
