Social Groups
A social groups is a group of two or more people who interact with one another and share the same/similar characteristics and are together as a unit. This definition shows that people who listen to the same genre of music and are involved in that type of music can all be part of the same social groups.
Youth Subcultures
Teenagers now care much more about their online presence and identity than their real life interests.
- Teenagers used to show their music taste by wearing clothes that put them into a group of people who also had the same taste. Now due to charts many teenagers wear similar clothes and listen to similar music.
- There is now a very limited amount of people that show their taste of music by what they wear and how they act, some examples of these are Emos.
- In the past people had to make an investment to listen to the music - as they had to buy a physical copy, whereas now it can just be streamed so youths are much less dedicated to their choice of music as they don't have money invested in it.
- When people wanted to get their group exposure it would take ages to gain any, for example Punks. Whereas now through the use of social media people can gain exposure within days, an example of this is Seapunk.
This change in youth culture is linked to the rise in electronic music presence as teenagers are more likely too watch YouTube and see social media posts on the niche market of Electronic dance Music.
