Hippies live in groups together and take drugs for pleasure. Hippies are fond of listening to rock-and-roll which started in the USA. The earliest musicians were Elvis Presley, Little Richard, Buddy Holly and others. They mixed black music, white “country” music to create rock-and-roll.It is based on electric guitar and drums.

LET`S HAVE A TALK ABOUT OUR OWN SUBCULTURE

My own subculture The project was done by Osipova Marina

I have read a lot about different subcultures, and now I know that each of them has good and bad features.

I want to create a subculture that has only good features.The name of my subculture is ``Joy``

The members of ``Joy``don`t take drugs like hippies and don`t protest against the society like punks.They don`t wear the blackest blacklike goths.They like to show off but prefer bright.

Their behaviour don`t differ from social norms,they are optimistic and kind. They enjoy life and want all people to be happy.They like to be in a collective and have many friends.

I am against violence and the members of my subculture are against it too. I hope that we will be the founders of a new subculture ``Joy``
