On the other hand, within the main culture specific variants co-exist drawing down some facets of the dominant culture while changing or rejecting other facets we call these variants sub culture
Sub cultures are self organized community of shared interests lifestyles , beliefs, customs, norms, style or tastes. They may surround a hobby, art, movement music scene, Fashion sense, philosophy or lifestyle.
