Subcultures

We discovered different pop subcultures present in China and different ethnicities or tribes. However, the ones I will talk about are: hipster culture and Shamate culture in China. Also, I will talk about the Tibetan ethnic group or tribe present in China.

HIPSTER CULTURE IN CHINA

Hipster culture, although not originally from China, is present within Chinese culture due to globalization. The Chinese who have adopted this subculture are characterized by taking a lifestyle and tastes associated with the vintage, the alternative, which goes against social conventions and rejects the values of the predominant commercial culture. They dress extravagantly, with an unusual look and a very ironic interpretation of fashion. They combine clothes worn in many layers but with a modern and vintage style. They have salvaged some old accessories, such as fedoras, sunglasses, skinny pants and prints with plaid patterns. In conclusion, the objective of this subculture is to reject the dominant fashions and look for alternative life patterns.

SUBCULTURE "SHAMATE" IN CHINA

The curious aspect of these individuals arises from the attempt to copy the aesthetics of young people from countries such as South Korea and Japan, especially the visual kei movement, born in Japan in the early 80's as a result of emblematic groups such as X Japan, which they wore extravagant haircuts and shoulder pads. The shamates come from the lowest castes of the Chinese population. These are generally young outcasts around 20 years of age who come from a rural area and now live in the suburbs of large cities.

TIBETAN TRIBE OF CHINA

The Tibetans are a people who live in Tibet and the surrounding areas. They are one of the 56 officially recognized ethnic groups in the People's Republic of China. In the Tibetan language, words tend to be monosyllabic, although a suffix is ​​added that normally denotes if it is masculine, feminine, plural, verb, etc. The Tibetan civilization has a very rich culture. Festivals such as the Tibetan New Year, Xuedun, Linka, and the Bath Festival are deeply rooted in religion, although they also contain external influences. Each Tibetan takes part in the Bathing Festival three times during her life: at birth, at marriage, and at death. Traditionally it is believed that people do not have to bathe, they should only do it on really special occasions. Many Tibetans wear long hair. Women tend to style their hair with two braids, while younger ones do it with only one. Men with long hair gather it in a high bun, usually wrapped in a red cloth that serves as a turban. Due to the cold of the area, women wear skirts and cloth jackets. The men wear long pants, sometimes accompanied by a band, and leather boots.
