Spectacular Youth Cultures
Youth Culture is the collective cultural practices of groups of young people (typically between the ages of 15 and 25) these are groups that apart from the dominant or “mainstream” society. Youth subculture groups are often distinguished through distinctive forms of dress style and shared musical tastes, and are typically found in westernized, consumer-based cultures although more recent research has identified examples of youth cultures in developing countries. Many youth subculture groups are also identifiable by a shared name, recognized both by members of a given group and those outside the group.

Goth Rock bands like Siouxsie & the Banshees, Joy Division, Bauhaus, and UK Decay were called "gothic" enough by the music media that eventually the label stuck. In 1979, Tony Wilson, on the BBC program "Something Else," described Joy Division's sound as "gothic in comparison with mainstream
