Dear friend,
Thanks for your recent Letter. In the previous letter you asked how I feel about subcultures. Myattitude to subcultures is negative. Subculture influences a person negatively, because majority of the members has some negative features. Drugs, alcohol, behavior, which is against the law in most cases, are some of them. They are hippies, punks, Goths, bikers and others. I consider that the most adequate of all the subcultures are Mods, because they are accurate and moderate. Representatives of the contemporary subcultures are informal. Being informal is an attempt to show the identity, to tell everydoby: «I am a personality», to throw a challenge to the world with its infinite everyday life. I think that you do not necessarily need to belong to any subculture to express your individuality and to express protest.
For example, I express myself through my activity: participate in any contests, concerts. I express protests in such a wasy that I sometimes can slam the door or keep silent when I rebel against my parents’ rules; or I lie down on my bed and do nothing.
And how do you feel about subcultures? What do you do to expres your individuality?
Well, I’d better go now as i have to do my homework. Write soon!
With love,
Alena.
