There are several main youth subcultures, including chavs, emos, punks, and skinheads. Each subculture has distinct styles of dress, music preferences, and behaviors that allow people to find belonging in social groups. For example, chavs are typically identified by tracksuit bottoms, baseball caps, and Nike sneakers, while emos favor skinny jeans, plimsolls, band t-shirts, and dark makeup. Punks strive to be nonconformists through clothing like jeans, boots, and studded jackets. Skinheads have shorter hair and tattoos, often wearing tight jeans, boots, and flight jackets.

4. The Subculture Chav These are the sort of people that we would stereotype as being cahvs as they are all in tracksuit bottoms a few have caps on and they are all wearing Nike trainers Catherine Tate came up with her idea of a stereotypical chav and named her Vicky Pollard. We always see her walking around with a large number of children, a tracksuit on, her hair up in a ponytail and lots of jewellery on.

6. The Subculture Emo We tend to say that emo’s wear skinny jeans, plimsolls, band t-shirts, have big fringes within there hair and wear a lot of black make up. We also stereotypically say that both emo’s and goth's self harm there selves as they have a lot of emotions going on inside them and they feel that this is the only way to take some control of it.

8. Subculture Punk Punk’s tend to make them selves look totally different to your everyday person in order to stand out and to show that they don’t want to fit in with everyone else and they don’t care what people think of them. We also never really hear punk music on most of our mainstream radio stations such as Radio 1 and Vibe as they feel that it would not commercially fit in with what most of there listeners want to hear.

10. The Subculture Skinheads We tend to be able to tell a skinhead from the clothes they wear as they often have shorter hair and a lot of tattoos and wear items—such as high boots, tight jeans, T-shirts, and flight jackets. Also in the early days of the skinheads they were seen as being racist and still have very high and opinionated views today.
