Recently we discussed the topic of subcultures of the modern world in class. Today there are quite a lot of them: hippies, goths, emo, punk, sxe, and so on. Each of them has its own principles, traditions, rules, orders, as well as its own features, such as appearance, behavior. There are both supporters and opponents of concrete subcultures and subcultures in general. In this essay I would consider the arguments ”for” and ”against” belonging to a some group.

Why it is good to belong to a subculture? Firstly, you'll find like-minded friends, people that have much in common with you. Secondly, group membership will allow you to stand out among other people. You will have a special appearance and behavior.
Thirdly, it can be your entertainment or a hobby, just like playing any game, getting involved in any activity, going in for sport.
But don’t forget about the negative sides. If you belong to any group, you are bound by its rules. This limits your actions.
Also, you will be exposed to conflicts with society and can make enemies. There also can be discords between subcultures, that may be a danger for you.

As for my opinion, I don’t respect the subcultures. If you want to stand out from all, you’ll not stand out, joining the group, because in this group you still "be the same as everyone." Also, It isn’t necessary to belong to a subculture to find like-minded friends. This way, you can be yourself, unique and inimitable, and have friends with the same interests without restricting yourself with rules and not gaining more enemies.
