Recommended: The effect of youth culture

Introduction
For as long as time, there has always been a hidden culture that no one really understood. It was different from any other; only a small group was a part of it. It was the idea of youth culture. Most adults assumed that the youth of their time just had the same culture that they did because they lived in the same era that they did, but that just wasn’t the case. Youth have developed their own culture that is unique and bold. Youth from all over share common interests such as sports, music, media, and life goals. In this paper, these ideas will be explored in in hopes of defining what culture is and in the process, understanding how it has changed and evolved into what it is today.

Teenagers post almost every part of their lives on the internet to show their friends what they are doing.

A new generation brings in a new, different culture. And somehow, it goes from different to rebellious. The adult American society will often look at the youth subculture’s homology: their choice of clothes, music, dance, and their overall lifestyle, and they will just begin to form these “personality conflicts” (O’Connor 412).

In the article “Social Media: The Screen, the Brain, and Human Nature” written by Justin Vinh argues that social media creates an atmosphere of loneliness and depression linked to social media use.
