There was a memorable moment as he walked across a floor crowded with fellow African-American royalty (Quincy Jones, Spike Lee, Savion Glover), a handful of random white pop stars such as Billy Corgan and Marilyn Manson, and a major contingent of bodyguards appropriate to this high density of celebrity. Prince, dressed in red, happened to be headed directly toward Lenny Kravitz, whose monumental Afro was barely contained by his enormous knit cap.

Down the phone, Helina is explaining what a haul girl is to me.
"Basically, you go out shopping for clothes or beauty products," she says, "then you make a haul video and show viewers on YouTube what you got. You go through the items of clothing one by one. I guess what people get out of them is not showing off, like, how much money you've got or anything, but lifestyle: you get to see how one person lives, what their taste is. " If you're minded to sneer at a youth cult that involves making videos about your shopping, then Helina has a pretty intriguing counter-argument. "It's not just about showing what you've got," she says. 9 Perfect Beauty Moments From Your Favorite Cult Films To Inspire Your Next Makeover. When I was growing up, I would watch the Star Wars films and desperately attempt to twist my stubborn hair into Princess Leia's iconic side-buns.
I occasionally sport the hairstyle to this day, but never quite nail the "intergalactic babe" look. However, thanks to this type of film-fueled beauty influence, movies can serve a purpose beyond Netflix procrastination binges.

When Syd Shelton returned to London in 1977 after fours years living in Australia, he was shocked at how much things had changed.
"The recession had really hit and the Callaghan government had attacked living standards for working people - very similar to what's happening right now," he explains. "Whenever that happens, there's always a rise of something like the National Front. " Syd was desperate to fight against the hatred and was lucky to meet one of campaign group Rock Against Racism's founders, Red Saunders. Before long he was their unofficial photographer and designer for their newspaper/zine Temporary Hoarding.

If you grew up in California in the late noughties, you're likely to be a pretty good skater with a pretty good tan.
In fact, with world-class parks on your doorstep and the sun out 284 days of the year, there's no excuse not to be. But inspired by the 90s skate high, when East coast skating was booming, Love park was the place to be and pro's such as Koston, Reynolds, Muska and Penny were setting the bar, it's not just the Californian natives who are chasing the sun on their boards, it's the hoards of Californian converts too.
Cyber Trends: 5 Subcultures on the Internet. Perhaps the most universal claim made about the internet is its ability to transmit cultural congruence.
Unlike the pre-millennial era, nowadays we have a platform through which people can create, share and voice common interests (no matter how eccentric or niche), entirely free from the traditional constraints of location, demographic or distance. As the image-sharing capabilities of the web have improved, some of the most noteworthy subcultural movements of recent years have been pushed into the limelight. Often driven by a vanguard community of individuals keen to fetishize specific elements of art, music, fashion and popular culture – notoriously through social media platforms like Tumblr and Facebook – these fledgling collectives frequently find themselves snowballing into a full-blown force majeure by a trend-obsessed society ever-hungry to be fed the “hottest new thing.”

The dA–Zed guide to British subculture. From the Grime kids spitting bars on Channel U to the Casuals showing off on the terraces and the ravers of Madchester dancing all night, subculture is in Britain’s blood.
But in the high street imitations of the various tribes’ style codes, it’s easy to forget that these movements were often borne from politics – take the way Reggae travelled from Jamaica to form the beats beloved by the Ska kids, or the squatters’ rights that allowed art school collectives like ! WOWOW! To transform a Peckham department store into a space that would define a generation of London creativity.
Youth Subcultures: What are they now? There is a really interesting piece on youth subcultures by Alexis Petridis in The Guardian.
He attempts to think through the forms that subcultures take today, using examples and some reflections from sociologists. The piece raises some questions about the possibility and form of contemporary scenes, movements and subcultures. Alexis asks some really important questions in the piece and considers a range of possibilities and potential causes for what appear to be transformations in subcultures.
He concludes that despite the perseverance of certain visible subcultures it may be that the very concept of subculture is no longer fitting for understanding youth cultures.

Adolescence is a time of awkward sex, weird clothes and hilarious hair, a time bookended by childhood and serious responsibility (yawn). For generations and generations these things rarely change; your parents and their probably did most of the stuff you did. ICA Off-Site: A Journey Through London Subculture: 1980s to Now.

A Journey Through London’s Subculture: 1980s to Now, Old Selfridges Hotel - exhibition review. The Old Selfridges Hotel has been stripped back to its bones, resembling not a luxury hotel but one of London’s industrial warehouses occupied by squats, raves, and impromptu exhibitions over the past 30 years.
It’s the ideal venue for a show that is archetypal ICA territory, documenting countercultural movements and individuals, whose work was not often seen by many when it was made but was frequently hugely influential later. It takes us from the cluster of creative people around the film-maker Derek Jarman, through Leigh Bowery and the Eighties club scene, to Acid House, the Young British Artists of the early Nineties and today’s emerging figures.
But instead of a museum-like trawl through the three decades, it has a distinctly personal feel. Each of the 56 figures or movements is given a glass-topped, plywood display vitrine which is filled either by the artist or designer or one of their close associates. Around them, installations and archival films draw out key threads. Are music subcultures losing their definition?
