Youth Culture, in sociology, the collective cultural practices of groups of young people (typically between the ages of 15 and 25), such practices setting these groups apart from the dominant or “mainstream” society. Youth cultural groups are often to be distinguished through distinctive forms of dress style and shared musical tastes, and are typically found in westernized, consumer-based cultures (although more recent research has identified examples of youth cultures in developing countries). Many youth cultural groups are also identifiable by a shared name, recognized both by members of a given group and those outside the group. Such names are generally associated with the musical taste and/or style of the youth cultural group—for example, rockers, punks, grungers, ravers, rappers, and so on.
Youth cultures are often said to be the product of the post-World War II consumer boom, when increasing affluence combined with technological breakthroughs and enhanced mass production techniques created the necessary socio-economic conditions for the birth of a youth market. However, historical studies have revealed a lineage of stylistically distinctive youth cultural groups stretching much further back in time. In Britain, such historical youth cultural groups include the 17th-century “London Apprentices” and the 19th-century “Salford Scuttlers” (each of which were characterized by distinctive clothing and hairstyles and renowned for their rowdy, and sometimes violent, behaviour). Examples of historical youth cultures have also been identified in such countries as Germany and the Russian Federation.

Since the 1950s, youth cultures have often been regarded as a cause for concern by the mass media, with youth cultural behaviour being portrayed as a threat to social order and morality (as discussed in Stanley Cohen’s Folk Devils and Moral Panics: Creation of Mods and Rockers; 1973). Such concern has resulted in the sanctioning of particular forms of youth cultural practice. For example, in the mid-1950s, the film Rock Around the Clock was banned in Holland and Germany following newspaper reports of riotous behaviour among youth in British cinemas. Similarly, in the late 1970s, several singles by British punk rock group The Sex Pistols were banned by shops and radio stations due to the allegedly anarchistic content of the lyrics.
Such censoring continued with the formation of the Parents Music Resource Center (PMR) in Washington, D.C. during the mid-1980s and the banning of illegal rave parties in Britain with the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. More recent research has focused on youth culture’s interaction with the media, most typically new media such as the Internet, which has allowed for new forms of global communication between young people. A number of theorists suggest that the Internet is giving rise to new forms of virtual youth culture, Internet communication replacing more traditional face-to-face interaction as a basis for youth cultural membership.
