Respond to the following prompt:
Consider the current youth popular culture compared to those of the past. What movements do you have in your youth culture? How are you a part of your youth culture?
When I think about the current youth culture today, I see a lot of the fashion movement to be quite popular. The media significantly contributes to this also. Magazines and television show what the "ideal" look is, and people believe what they see. When I was in high school, the best thing to do on the weekends was make a shopping trip to the mall with your friends to stay up with the latest fashions. Trends are always changing and youths care so much about what others think of them they will do anything to "fit in" with the popular trend of the moment. In the past, fashion was not a huge industry. Today, the fashion industry is huge. The worth of "designer" clothes is outrageous. When I read fashion magazines I am literally appaled by the prices of things. In the past, the worth of fashion was not nearly as much. I feel like I am part of this culture in a way, but not to the extent of top of the line fashion industries.
