A sub- culture is a sub genre of people outside the normal music put out by the media (Pop), the group of people could be united by clothing, music or politics they could be the conforming to there friendship group or rebelling against media. People who break break the norm dislike capitalism and consumerism. There are 3 theories about sub-cultures Grant Mc Cracken, CCCs and Hedbige.
Grant Mc Cracken- This theory talks about how the cultures are creative and diverse, that they are all individual and are nothing alike the other genres.
CCCs- This states that all sub genres come from one genre, from reacting the the mainstream, ever trying to be different from it or keeping some values.
Hebdige- His theory states that although some people think they appear to be different, they are all the same if you look within what they are talking about and there main qualities, there is enough likeness to change 'sub-culture' to 'little cultures'.
We have decided between us that we are going to use the theory of CCCs because we believe that the artist change because of the record label wanting to sell more and stopping the audience form becoming bored of the artist and always being something new to the table. This has seen Ellie go from acoustic then to electronic/indie.
We then decided to create pie charts so that we could see the information more clearly. I made them for every question so that we could look at how the target audience felt about the questions and how they reacted so we haven't made any mistakes.
You have made a start in describing the different subculture theories, but further explanation is needed on each theory. This will assist you to demonstrate further understanding of the theory.
ReplyDeleteYou have decided to follow the CCC's theory, but further examples are needed to explain your reasons in more detail.
