All modern subcultures can be divided into several directions, the source of which can be music, these are:
- punks, reference points
- emo
- goths.
However, the basis for the distinction may be literature, animation, vocabulary, games. A subculture can distinguish a group of people who are fans of a certain style of clothing, for example, everyone knows the association of freaks, nudists, dudes, military.

The basis for the emergence of such a concept as a subculture can become a variety of political views and an established worldview, think of hippies, informals, antifa, skinheads. Subcultures can be based on hobbies, such as commitment to motorcycles or graffiti. Today it is customary to single out special, controversial subcultures, popularly called "hooligan", these are: gopniks, ultras, lyuber.

Each of the above movements not only regularly disputes the right to exist, but is also able to single out separate directions. So the Goths, fans of post-punk music, distinguished by the presence of mystical symbolism and gloomy shocking images, formed many stable currents, which are usually referred to as goth vamps, androgens, hippies, punks and cyber-ready.

Do not confuse the peace-loving Goths and the aggressive, dangerous to society Satanists who deny not only the entire church system, but are active nihilists who do not recognize the rule of law and advocate sacrifices and violence against people.

An anime subculture, which is based on pictures of a "cinema" life, has become especially popular among modern teenagers. Sometimes they are called Tolkienists; as a rule, they are joined by young people aged 12 to 15 years with a weak mentality, the most affected by outside influences.

If on the street you met a “miracle”, dressed in a combination of black and pink colors, you know, this is emo. Despite their shockingness, emo, as a rule, are quiet and emotional, a kind of sad philosopher writers, whose work is based on the sad moments of unrequited love.
But tight jeans, heavy shoes with white laces and short “bumpers”, as if specially designed for street fights, are a distinctive feature of the neo-fascist organization of skinheads, whose average age varies from 16-18 years. Devoting themselves to the ideology of struggle and the cult of a strong personality, they channel their energy into the struggle with many other subcultures, desperately hating hippies, ravers, people with a different skin color.
