Week 2 Entry
#Identify at least four social/cultural groups and what media you think they use. Write at least 400 words.
From my
observation of people in my daily lives, so far i've known at least four
social/ cultural groups and the media that I think they used. The four
social/cultural groups that i've identified are the nerds, the goths,the
hipsters and the staright edge.
First, I will
explain about the nerds. The nerds or a nerd is a person, typically described
as being overly intellectual, obsseive or socially impaired. They usually shown
as unpopular, obscure and usually involves in non-mainstream activities such as
either the highly technical or relating topics of fiction or fantasy. Other
than that, many nerds are described as shy, quirky and unattractive and nerds
can be identified by their hobbies , interest, personality, social skills and
even physical appearances. And for the media that they used are usually
activities that often include computers, video games, the internet and
television.
Secondly, I will
explain about the Hipsters. The hipsters are usually referred to a subculter of
a young, recently settled urban middle class adults and older teenagers
starting from the years of the 90's. Hipster people has been described to have
a mutating, trans-Atlantic melting pot of styles, taste and behaviours. And for
the media that they interested are usually independent film, magazines,
websites and has a major interest in independent music, alternative lifestyles
with independent political views.
Thirdly, I will
explain about the Goths. The Goths is a contemporary subculture that found in
many countries. It bega n from England and the culture has survived much longer
than other subculter of the same era and it continues to diversify which
explains why the Goth people can be seen amongst the teenagers, young
adults,adults and even the old people. And for the media that they interested are
the goth usually were associated with their tastes in music, aesthetics and
fashion. The music that they created itself encompasses a number of different
styles and is popular.
Forth, I will
explain about the Straight edges. The Straight edge is one of the subculture
and subgenre of hardcore punks. It usually associated with the teenagers and
young adults whose adherents refrain from drinking alcohol, tobacco and drugs.
This subculture emerges in the mid 80's
as the reaction against perceived "jock" element of the
developing scene. And for the media that they interested are music, bands
aesthetics and beliefs and they do have the same interests and used the same
media like normal people except they're really stick to their principles.
