ich soll eine summary zu morgen über den unten stehenden text schreiben...ist die so gut? ich glaube dass die zu kurz ist...könnt ihr mir da i-wie helfen? wäre suuper lieb :)


The emergence of this thing called "youth culture" is a distinctly 20th-century phenomenon; the collision of increased standards of living, more leisure time, the explosion of post-war consumer culture and wider psychological research into adolescents all contributed to the formation of this new social category defined by age.
Previously, the rite of passage between childhood and adult life had not been so clearly demarcated -this is not to say that young adults didn`t have their own activities before the invention of Brylcreem and crepe soles (youth gangs were common in Victorian Britain, for example) but it hadn`t before been defined or packaged as a culture.
Once "invented", the "youth culture" provoked a variety of often contradictory responses: youth was dangerous, misunderstood, the future, a new consumer group. British post-war youth culture emerged primarily in response to the American popular culture centred on rock `n` roll. The 1955 film Blackboard Jungle, with its soundtrack featuring Bill Haley And The Comets` Rock Around The Clock, was a defining moment, inspiring people to dance in the aisles (and some to slash seats). The fear was not only of hoodlums but also of the creeping Americanisation of British culture.
But the impact of imported US films and music did not lead to cultural homogenisation; instead, it inspired a series of spectacular - and distinctly British - youth subcultures from the mid-50s to the late-70s: teds, mods, skinheads, punks
Britain also led the way in the study of youth, and its celebration of creativity and resistance, though these studies, naturally, have their favourite subcultures, often overlooking others. (Still, the kiss of death for any subculture is to be "understood" by a sociologist.) By the late 70s and early 80s, youth subculture began to change, and became less gang-oriented. The regular emergence of new subcultures slowed down, and the first major period of revivals began. It became difficult to identify distinct subcultures, rather than just musical styles. In fact, something weird happened: everyone started behaving like a teenager. By the 90s, "proper" grown-ups had started to complain that contemporary youth were dull and conformist.

Das ist der Text .. und meine Summary :

The text "this thing called youth culture" appears 1999 in a newspaper called `the guardian`. It`s written by Katie Milestone and deals with the development of young people in britain. The youth culture is a 20th century phenomenon which often provokes unfriendly answers like : youth is dangerous or misunderstood. Later in the 70s and 80s youth culture starts to become less gang oriented. The last paragraph is about the change and the beginning of the period of revival. It comes to a weird end ; everyone starts to behave like a teenager.
