The Investigation of Youth Subcultures

Subcultures may be distinguished on the basis of their vitality, innovation, or level of imitation of the primary culture. Although the use of qualitative methods in the investigation of youth subcultures should be expanded, quantitative techniques need not be abandoned. Modified HA
