Subcultures are groups of people within a larger culture who share a set of distinctive cultural beliefs and behaviors that differentiate them from the larger culture. These subcultures can be based on shared experiences and situations, such as age, race, gender, religion, or lifestyle. Examples include punk rockers, goths, hippies, and members of a particular profession or sports team.
