Youth culture

Japanese: 若者文化 - わかものぶんか(英語表記)youth culture
Youth culture
It refers to a subculture formed by adolescents searching for their own social identity and asserting the uniqueness of their generation in opposition to the existing dominant culture of adults. It is also called youth culture. Of course, many cultural changes are carried out by the young generation of the time, and dominant cultures incorporate behavioral patterns unique to young people in the transition from childhood to adulthood, but these are not specific to the younger generation as a way to separate and assert themselves from others, so they are distinct concepts (transition rites, avant-garde, youth groups, etc.).

Japanese:
青年期にある者が,大人たちの既存の支配的文化に対抗して,自己の社会的アイデンティティを模索し,自分たちの〈世代〉としての独自性を主張すべく形成したサブカルチャーを指す。ユース・カルチャーともいう。もちろん,多くの文化変動はその時々の若年層によって担われ,また支配的文化は,子どもから大人への移行期にある若者に特有な行動様式を組み込んでいるが,これらはいずれも,若者世代が自己と他を分離,主張するためのものとして特定化したのではないため,概念としては区別される(移行儀礼,前衛,若者組など)。
