Introduction

The generation of "fathers" has always been treated with youth subcultures at best wary, at worst - aggressively dislike. After all, any subculture is more correct to call the "countercultitude" - rejecting the "parent" worldview, it offers its own, alternative, thereby hinting elders on their ideological and everyday failure. Those, for their part, as they can, are defended by announcing a new worldview with destructive, ideals - perverted and falniac, behavior - indecent. Frequently, transparent hints on moral damage and even spiritual unhealthy adherents of one or another subculture. Thus, the conflict of generations is exacerbated to the extreme, and the path of the personality of the youth is presented to the thorn, which only make it difficult.

The relevance of the work: the last few years, when it comes to youth subcultures, quite often you have to hear a little-known concept - Emo. This is the name of the subculture, which in a short period of time has gained enormous popularity and at this time is one of the most numerous. In this paper, we will try to trace the history of the development of subculture Emo and sort out how it is perceived by society.

The object of research is the features of social stereotypes against youth subcultures.

The object is auto and heterosterotypes of subculture emo.

The purpose of the work is to identify the auto rover and heterosterotypes in the perception of the subculture of Emo.

Hypotheses: There are differences in respect of auto and heterosterotypes in Emo subculture; Representations of subculture EMO in society are negative.

) to trace the history of Emo subculture;

) give a descriptive portrait of subculture;

) Implement a comparative analysis of the perception of auto and heterosterotype EMO.

The significance of the work is that it provides a detailed theoretical analysis of various youth subcultures, the descriptive characteristic of the poorly studied subculture of EMO is given.

Chapter 1. General characteristics of youth subcultures

1.1 Concept "Subculture"

Under the culture is understood by convictions, values \u200b\u200band expressive meanswhich are common to a specific group of people and serve to streamline the experience and regulation of the behavior of members of this group. The basis of the socialization mentioned already (the process of assimilating samples of behavior, psychological installations, social norms and values, knowledge, skills, allowing him to function successfully in this society) is the reproduction and transfer of culture to subsequent generations.

Culture is not an educational in the framework of the same historical, political, demographic, and economic conditions. Therefore, in any culture there is a number of subcultural formations. What is the subculture?

The subculture is a set of values \u200b\u200baccumulated by a certain worldview and orders of a group of people combined by specific interests that determine their worldview.

That is, this is a certain community of people, united is not geographically, but for other features: interests, hobbies, worldview and so on. Modern subcultures are one of the phenomena of globalization, when thanks to the global media (first of all - the Internet), people can find like-minded at the other end globeExchange images, music and other information. The overwhelming majority of modern subcultures are youth, and are based on the rejection by the young people dominating in the society of culture, with its norms, stereotypes and values. This rejection is manifested in a special appearance, behavior, enthusiastically with unpopular music. Young people seem to be filled with cultural standards imposed by society and trying to gain their understanding of the world, formulate their rules and values. In other words, we are talking about a sociocultural protest. Like all others public phenomena, the appearance of subcultures has its reasons. These are primarily developing in society a contradiction, which, in turn, are a consequence of the accelerated and uneven development of society in the scientific and technical, economic and socio-cultural aspects. Youth and teenagers feel these contradictions stronger, but due to absence life experience, they cannot formulate them and do not know what and how in society you can change. By virtue of the special energy and the maximalism of the young, the form of expressions of their protest sometimes acquire extreme, destructive, and brightly antisocial character.

While man is young, strong and healthy, his attention for the most part Busy events and objects. Youth is characteristic of intensive interpersonal communication, and the measurement of the value of his own "I" occurs solely by the opinion of others, even if it is erroneous. That is why, as a fact, the youth grouping themselves - the phenomenon is not new. They existed in the form of new ways sports sections, and as various "circles" (interest groups) - such unification of young people were quite formal, very wide and diverse in their composition, had their own schedule and most often did not have any ideologically painted scenario. In short, boys and girls met in strictly certain days Weeks, communicated in the framework of their socio-approved interests, then diverged until the next day of the new meeting (be it the day of the Sun, Saturday disco or fashionable party), plus it was strictly unplanned days of the type of competitions, exhibitions, rauts, etc.

The current unification of young people received a slightly different scope and, accordingly, another nature of distribution. It became possible to talk about the existence of a kind of socio-psychological phenomenon - youth subcultureexisting within the traditional social culture, one way or another adopted in our society.

If you move the conversation into a practical direction, it should be noted that the latter has become possible only due to the social, political and economic conditions in which the CIS countries have found themselves during the last twenty years. A person cannot live in emptiness, he must definitely "lean" to anything, have a support, "soil under the legs", reflect the world and reflects the world itself. Modern youth went in this sense "along the path of least resistance" - it began to unite in fairly powerful movements based on surrogate, while often socially indifferent pseudocenes that create the illusion of a full-fledged spiritual life.

Deludes most of all in this process visible (for specialists) contradiction between external and internal factors - being accelerators in terms of physical developmentThe current young people turn out to be extremely infantile in socio-psychological terms. Allow this contradiction, effectively produce a timely correction and "setting" of the psyche of young people on solving truly important and relevant life problems, thereby eliminating the state of uncertainty, lost, anxiety, depression - the most important task of psychologists seems to be such.

The first fundamental description of the youth subculture is the work of Dick Gubdig "Hatching in the World: Observations and the Image of Youth" in London in London in 1988, the book "Hatching in Light: On Images and. things. "

As shown here, the subculture is distinguished by a special lifestyle, which in turn is dictated by a special worldview, and due to its own subculture, as scientists say, "social identification of members of a particular community". In other words, only through subculture a young man can give himself an answer to the question: "What am I?" - And this answer will sound like this: "I am the same as we". "We" are representatives of one subculture, be it hippie, punks, skins, hackers, etc. The young man determines himself among others as the taking the same paradigm, and due to this it is determined (as scientists say, positions itself) in society.

Subcultures arise not by making a magic stick or at the request of some malicious forces. The subculture is the result of the relationship of a certain group to the processes occurring in the official culture (better, perhaps, to call it the dominant or prevailing, because the term "official" still carries the shade of the value "exhaled by force").

.2 Stages of the life of subcultures

The process of life of the subculture can be consecrated to the following stages:

Number. At this stage, the first followers of subculture appear, as a rule, passionate about the general ideas and grouped around a new little-known musical direction, often originated within the framework of another subculture.

Formation. At this stage, the ideology of subculture is finally formed, which may have common features With other subcultures, but always has something, distinguishing this movement from others. The musical direction around which subculture originated, is experiencing intensive development and becomes a well-known general public. Subculture acquires own style and attributes that may include not only exterior appearance, but also behavior.

Popularization. The rapid increase in the number of people enthusiastically carried by this subculture is mainly due to the Pozerov (individuals that attribute themselves to some subculture, but they can only adopt its external distinctive features). Because of this, the subcultures will recognize the masses. Despite the rejection of the new movement, his ideas penetrate the consciousness of the masses and with time the elements of subcultures become part of mass culture (mainstream).

Recession. The poser part of the subculture dissolves in mainstream and actually becomes part of it, thereby influencing the culture of the whole society. Their part of the same part remains in the form that was in the early stages and again becomes a lot of few dedicated to. As a rule, it is accompanied by a weakening of those social contradictionswho contributed to the emergence of subculture.

It must be said that not all subcultures pass all four stages entirely. Many, especially professing law-donical views, are delayed somewhere in the second - third phase area (this is primarily related to the NATIONS Skinheads). Some subcultures having part of their ideology rejection of commerce and refusal to mainstream are stopped at the second stage and lead underground existence (hardcore). It is also very important that the third phase is key in the life of subculture. Massibility leads to a sharp increase in mutual cultural diffusion between the subculture and the culture of the society, where there is a surge of its popularity. Often the product of the rigid antagonism of these crops are govnari (extreme degree of posterity). In addition, popularity contributes to the alienation of the subculture of its foundation. The latter is very hard psychologically to respond to Pozerov, whose actions do not always correspond to the original ideas of movement. This leads not only to the erosion of the main idea of \u200b\u200bsubculture, but also fraught with the actual substitution of the base of the Sovnar subculture followed by degradation and the collapse of the entire movement.

Are the Third and Fourth Stages inevitably destructive for subculture - the question is controversial. On the one hand, without them, the movement could well behave a quiet life without being exposed to abuse and preserving ideological purity. On the other hand, without these stages, the ideas of movement will remain a narrow group of like-minded people and lovers of unpopular music (3).

.3 Social stereotypes

Social stereotypes are simplified schematized images of social facilities, characterized by a high degree of coherence of individual performances.

Thus, they are the opinion of the personal qualities of a group of people. Stereotypes can be excessively generalized, inaccurate and resistant to new information. This is a significant part of the information about the facts, generalizations, assessments and explanations, which with great difficulty can be empirically verified. First, their formation is always associated with the framework of ideological and political addictions; secondly, most social information Justs no checking from its consumers. Traditional sources of information are primarily rumors, the most accessible media, authorities and other public institutions (2).

The concept of "stereotype" was first introduced into the circulation by the famous American journalist Walter Lippman in 1922 in the book "Public opinion", where he defines a stereotype as a simplified, pre-adopted representation, which does not flow out of his own human experience. It arises on the basis of an indirect perception of the object: "We are talking about the world before you know it on experience." Stereotypes, according to W. Lippman, originally arise spontaneously, by virtue of the "inevitable need to save attention." They contribute to the formation of traditions and habits. "They are a fortress, standing on the guard of our own traditions, and under her cover we can feel safe in the position we occupy." Stereotypes have an impact on the formation of a new empirical experience: "They fill the fresh vision with old images and are superimposed on the world that we perceive in our memory." Although the degree of their adequacy is extremely labilin, stereotypes are predominantly inadequate images of objective reality, based on the "human error, according to the habit of biased for vision." "The stereotype is unambiguous; He divides the world into two categories - to "familiar" and "unfamiliar". A friend becomes synonymous "Good", and unfamiliar - synonymous "bad". "

Stereotype contains an estimated element. Lippman believed that the stereotype was neutral. The estimated element acts as an installation, emotional communication. Stereotype - not just simplification. He is "extremely charged with feelings." The estimated element of the stereotype (installation) is always consciously determined, since the stereotype, expressing the feeling of personality, its value system is always correlated with group senses and group actions. Hence the conclusion about the possible unity of stereotypes from certain social institutions and social systems. Stereotype, reflected further, W. Lippman, inadequate. Stereotypes ("prejudice") effectively manage the entire process of perception, being a benchmark for evaluation and, accordingly, the personality protection included in this group. Ultimately, stereotypes contribute to the proceedings of the interpretation of the socio-political unity of the group.

In the initial period of the study, followed by Lippman, the stereotype problems were considered as false, alogichic and imperfect formations or biased opinions: "pictures in the head", "emotional symbol", "Fixed image". Later, stereotyping began to be considered as the necessary and most important cognitive process, mediated behavior of a person who helps his orientation. The stereotype began to consider the attribute of the real human psyche, and the "stereotypes" concepts, evaluations, categories - as enshrined in the public consciousness of "bunches" of social experience as repeated properties and phenomena. "Most researchers are united that stereotypes can be" imposed "through the media. In this case, the formation of a stereotype passes three stages, as a result of which the complex object comes down to the diagram and well-known features. In the book "The tool for millions" R. O "Hara calls these three stages: the first -" alignment "(Leveling), the second -" Strengthening "(Assimilation). Initially, a complex differentiated object comes down to A few ready, well-known forms (features), and then the dedicated characteristics of the object attractive significance in comparison with the one they had, being composite elements of the whole. Finally, "aligned" and "reinforced" features of the object are selected to build an image close and Significant for this individual. A person who is accustomed to the situation reacts automatically. "The intensity of the reaction, - according to" Hara, will depend on the intensity of emotional impact, from the art of manipulating stereotypes. "

In the early 60s, new problems of studying the stereotype are formed in the context of a new research wave. The influence of individual and psychological features, personal characteristics on stereotyping mechanisms; The main structural and dynamic features of the stereotypes of social objects and situations are analyzed; Ways to form stereotypes.

Researchers have no unambiguous look at the nature and essence of the stereotype. Some find that the stereotype of public consciousness is always specially organized and operates on the basis of some specific social order. It depends on the problems of socialization, and not from the element of the sensual nature of perception. Others in the formation of stereotype give the importance to sensory experience. Third, agreeing with the fact that stereotypical thinking was formed by spontaneously, it is emphasized that stereotypes are supported consciously, with the help of a priori judgment, gradually implanted into everyday consciousness, gradually penetrating all areas of life, including politics and art, and ultimately acquiring moral law or hostel rules that have historical significance. The last opinion of the French sociologist P. Ricer seems to us the most promising when studying the phenomena of stereotype.

One of the main parties to study the stereotype is the problem of the ratio of stability and variability. A number of researchers (K. McColi, K. Styt, M. Segal), paying attention to the stability of stereotypes, notice that refuting information is considered as an exception confirming the rule. However, the practice shows that stereotypes respond to new information, especially for dramatic events. The change in the stereotype occurs when accumulating large number refuting information.

Conclusions on the first chapter

The first chapter covered the main theoretical provisions relating to the subject of study of this work. We determined that subculture is a set of accumulated by a certain worldview of values \u200b\u200band orders of a group of people combined by specific interests that determine their worldview. Modern subcultures are one of the phenomena of globalization, when thanks to the global media (first of all - the Internet), people can find like-minded people at the other end of the globe, exchange images, music and other information. The overwhelming majority of modern subcultures are youth, and are based on the rejection by the young people dominating in the society of culture, with its norms, stereotypes and values.

The process of life of the subculture can be conditionally divided into 4 stages: nucleation, formation, promotion and decline.

Any subculture is due to its intensity and the presence of certain ideology and values \u200b\u200bthat can be traced, the stereotyping is simplified, schematic representation by the main, mass culture. Stereotypes can reflect and positive, and a negative attitude of both subculture as a whole and to its separate representative.

Chapter 2. Subculture Emo: History and Characteristics

.1 Emo subculture history

The last few years when it comes to youth subcultures, quite often you have to hear a little-known concept - emo. And, as a rule, it is mentioned in the negative light. In the philistine consciousness, this is another destructive movement of young people, which is neither its participants or all of society, nothing good. Meanwhile, if at least a little understand the topic, then you can find out that initially emotional movement inherited a number of asocial ideas from punk culture, it was quite peaceful, and in many aspects even progressive.

Since we want to understand that one way or another is associated with the concept of EMO, the evolution of the punk scene in the 80s and 90s is the greatest interest for us, and above all in the United States. Hardcore as musical genre Appeared in the United States at the end of the 70s (Black Flag Group, Bad Brains, Circle Jerks) and at first did not have any own, different from the rest of the punk scene, ideological content. The milestone in the formation of American (and not only) Hardkore was the emergence of Minor Threat Group in December 1980. Among the first songs of the group were the compositions "Straight Edge" and "Guilty of Being White". The first of them urged to refuse to eat alcohol, drugs and disorderly sex. The second was devoted to the problem of rally intolerance. The performances of Minor Threat not only gave a powerful impulse to the new for punk scene Straight Edge movement, but also in fact allocated hardcore punk into a new subculture with their ideology. The basis of this ideology was the left (mostly anarchist) views that were inherited from the punk, as well as the principles of Straight Edge (SXE). What is the main idea of \u200b\u200bSXE? To answer this question, you need to understand what problems and contradictions were tormented by the then American youth. One such problem was the problem of the relationship between white and dark-skinned students in schools. For example, at school, where Yang McCay studied, a vocalist Minor Threat, about 70% of students amounted to African Americans and rally intolerance was the usual phenomenon. In the older classes, another problem was over and the other problem is a crawling drunkenness, drug driving, indiscriminate sexual relations between adolescents. That's what McCay says in his interview: "When I hit 17 and I went to the older classes, I was there the only nonbeid, and the guys quit it for me. I was called" public consciousness ". I was constantly teased about this, I just didn't I could stick, why not drink is such a crime. It was the end of the 70s, keep in mind, then just every teenager smoked grass. All I knew, drank or smird, and those who did not do it, considered real idiots , botanis and bastards. "

But, on the other hand, the punk culture was fascinated by McKea with his ideas:

"Punk Rock introduced me to the World of Underground, into the world of endless ideas, philosophical views, countless purposes in life opened in front of me. Dozens of culture levels: philosophical, theological, sexy, musical, political - on each of them there is a place for anyone who wants to enter. Thus, now I could mean sensantly: "Guys, I am punk, and I do not drink." No one believed at the beginning. When I and my friends told this, we just did not hear, everyone thought that punk was one destruction and self-destruction and only. We really outraged the water in the punk community, they suddenly found that there were some non-drinking **** in their ranks, they simply did not know what to do with us. "

Thus, the ideology of SXE has become a kind of protest against such a state of things. Her chief Principle - Freedom from all those nonsense that they interfere with a person to live and develop, which prevent him from being a person, not an animal. To these nonsense McCay and other founders of the movement attributed not only alcohol, smoking, drugs, intolerance in sex, but also racial and other intolerance. These ideas were supported in their speeches many other hard rock punk groups of the 80s.

So, in the first half of the 1980s, Hardock Punk has become a completely self-sufficient subculture that has its own musical style and ideology (first of all it is SXE and DIY). Differences from Punk manifested itself in appearance. Hardcores had mostly short hairstyles, or at all bald heads, wearing cheap unadless clothes, in general, tried to avoid external sores in every way and stay away from the mass culture with her fashion.

The birth of the genre of music, better known as Emotional Hardcore, is directly related to two groups of the middle of the 80s: Rite of Spring (Guy Pizziotto) and Embrace (Jan McCay). These groups retained the hardcore style of music and singing, but with the inclusions of the specific "emo" vocal, when the voice of the vocalist broke into bright moments on hoarse and passionate moan. At the same time, the lyrics sometimes wore personal characterRegarding lost love and dying memories. Perhaps the most notable group of this direction was, perhaps, Moss Icon, which appeared in Annapolis near Washington in 1987 (Earlier there was another famous emo group - The Hated). Already early creativity of the group that many do not belong to Emo actually, the texts are uncharacteristic for hardcore groups. Later posts Hate in Me, Mahpiua Luta had more pronounced elements of emo style in music and vocals. Emo existed quite themselves within the hardcore-punk culture and have not formed any own. What is the case of the origin of the word "emo"? The answer to this question gives one of the interviews Yana McKay:

"I myself never consumed the" EMO "console. This word has a funny story. In 85-86, some local scenes were actively developed in Washington, from which such groups as Rites of Spring, Embrace, Rain and many others came out. Many cynical people did not like their style and ... Yes, God knows what they did not like, but they are Art **** about such music and began to call her "Emo Rock". Such a joke. Type, not hardcore is at all, but some emotional rock. Fenzins picked up this joke: when it was necessary to turn the group, it was often called "Emo-Rock". But for some reason, in five years, people began to use this word as a name of a kind of musical style. There were also groups, allegedly playing in this style. I can't understand this. It seems to me that all the music is emotional, it does not need to be called "emotional". Punk music - originally emotional. Groups that today call their creativity "Emo Pank" ... I do not find their music of some particularly emotional, usually it is just pop music. And for her, a special name is invented so that the listener is easier to understand - what he buys. I have nothing against it, but I do not want to invent my music my music. "

So, what conclusions on the basis of all this can we do? We have already spoken about three points of support on which any subculture is holding. In the case of IMO (Russian transcription of English), there is only a musical direction, and that, for the most part, the "spare part" has long established Hardcore culture. There are no ideas of lying outside hardcore and there was no. But where did everything come from then to call emo subculture today? All these black and pink robes, badges, bangs, Emosaites, talking about the vulnerable soul and unsuccessful love?

After 2000, a new unusual subculture began to gain popularity in the United States and Europe, which originated in the IMO and IMO Hardcore Music Party. Actually, in the musical direction, she got its name. Inheriting a music style from Hardkra and, in places, ideology, IMO-Kyda found their own appearance. At the same time, commercial appeared music bandsIn particular, the USED, which became popular far beyond the limits of Hardcore and _Put-rock parties. In combination with an unusual appearance, this led to the rapid development of a young subculture, mainly due to the melancholic and not too developed physically adolescents 12 ... 17 years. These young people found in emo what they were so lacked surrounded by peers and strict teachers, - the opportunity to relax from the constant struggle for leadership in the adolescence team, to be for themselves, without hiding their weaknesses and feelings. All this fully matched imo-kida (Representatives of the subculture Emo): Sad skinny guys and girls, often in glasses and headphones, supporting noisy companies, constantly thoughtful and lowered heads. Loneliness, unhappy love, the desire to realize itself through creativity, became one of the attributes of IMO culture. IMO Kidam were unusual among the usual adolescents, hobbies and habits, such as drinking alcohol, smoking, the cult of sex and the desire to self-affect through the Material Rugan and physical strength. In other words, their worldview was pretty close to SXE. Approximately in this form IMO culture in 2004..2005 came to Russia, and after some time - and to Ukraine (3).

2.2 Features of the life of emo culture in Ukrainian terms

Before we proceed to the chronology of the development of Ukrainian emo, it is necessary to understand what the first Ukrainian IMO-kids were represented. Under the word "Ukrainian", I mean living not only in Ukraine, but also in the CIS countries too. Understanding the essence and features of the psyche of these people will help us understand the motives of their actions in the future. First, these were people not too developed mentally and physically, those who are customary to refer to the category of "alternatively gifted". Indeed, a versatile developed, who has a high IQ and successful teenager, is unlikely to be interested in this antisocial, especially in the basis of Russian (former Soviet) culture, movement. But this antisociality, at the same time, explains the other characteristic feature Data people. This feature lies in their complex of denial, based on the complex of defective. That is, they denied in every way public values And the way of life around them, they sought to stand out from the crowd, show themselves non-standard personalities and, due to this, to assert. In short, these teenagers, fearing to get into the rank of rogue, were very sought to be "not like everyone else." The desire for self-affirmation through denial and led data to young people into this rather non-standard subculture.

So, as it often happens, rapid growth Popularity, on the one hand, led to the emergence of new massive youth culture in our country, but on the other, it became a real test for strength for it. Literally a year from the group at a maximum of a couple of hundred, the emo-movement has turned into a crowd of imitators who took from subculture only an outer shell and never understood its essence. In an effort to look like a "drier", the new imo-kids began to bring to the absurd emo-image: crying into sight of the surrounding, rush hysterics, shout about suicide and cutting veins, etc. Together with excessively emotional teenagers, on the wave of fashion began to fall into emotion and gopnik. Because of this, the emo-houses spread such phenomena as drunkenness, Mantic Rugan, etc. However, the main thing is to led to mass distribution IMO, tens of thousands of young people across the country have familiarized themselves with IM-music, including with Oldcul Hardrock - such groups as Rites of Spring, Embrace, Moss icon, etc. Along with the music, the ideas of harder-punk motion were distributed : SXE, antifachism, DIY. Biography and creativity Jan McKea became known in wide circles. All this information has been distributed over the Internet, on most emo sites hung articles about the history of subculture. Due to this, after a while it appeared pretty a large number of The people's aware and well-versed in these things, many of which were fascinated by punk ideas and even became stretched jerseers. Questions may arise here: "So why, in the end, the elements of hardcore ideology did not enter the fashion, the same stretched, for example, where were the inherent components of the EMO worldview, such as empathy of someone else's misfortune, tolerance, pacifism? The condition for the development of a full-fledged subculture is the presence of the basis. The basis is something like a crystallization center in the formation of ice from water. People from the base apply an example remaining, as a result, groups of followers are formed around them, which then become part of the foundation, and so on. But the trouble, somewhere by the end of 2006 - the beginning of 2007, when Emo turned out to be at the peak of popularity, it turned out that the foundations of emo culture, as such, no.

2.3 Emo Image

Today, no one can really explain to where one or another component came from, which is considered an integral part of the image of Emo-Kid. If the hair, painted in black, and black shadows under the eyes remind the appearance ready and allow you to spend some parallels between the gloomy and depressiveness and those and others, then why, for example, the main shoes of Emo-kids became the sneakers "Vans" and " Converse "? Most likely, this is Harder's Heritage / Punk. In general, the sneakers of the brand "Converse" founded in 1917 by a person named Marquis M. Converse before they became one of the main chips of Emo-Image, we also wore the musicians of Ramones (as, however, and narrow jeans), and then not one more Generation punk musicians and punk rock fans.

Much later, at the beginning of the fifties, the postman's bag appeared - a leather bag with a shoulder strap and two clasps, as if ideally suitable for the size for vinyl discs. True, then with such bags we went mostly monter of telephone lines.

Skulls and bones - often flashing on the clothes of emo-kids - were borrowed either from ready, or with metallians - and those and others love these symbols without filling them in any particular sense.

Emo-Kyda love and multicolored tattoos, there is little different from all other musical subcultures. The musicians themselves show here here, many of which are thoroughly cleaned.

Another chip of emo-kids is not mandatory, but quite common - these are all sorts of piercing on different parts Body, as well as "tunnels" (Tunnels) - rings inserted into large holes in the ears and "Plaga" (plugs) - large earrings without holes in the middle. All this, too, appeared before Emo-Culture and was just picked up by emo-chis.

It turns out that elements of different styles are mixed in emo-mod. Why? Probably because the teenagers most often copy the appearance of groups that listen, and in the third wave emo groups are quite different, and, accordingly, the appearance of them are different. So it turns out such a hybrid punk, metal and gothic.

Business could not react to a new trendy course, and, as soon as the number of emo-kids increased to the level of the mass market, there was a huge number of diverse clothes and accessories in the black and pink color scheme appeared on sale - everything you need to create the right image Emo-Kida.

But some corporations went even further, and in 2005 sales began in the United States chewing gum "EMO KID GUM" ("Zhvanchka for Emo-Kidd"), on the wrapper of which the parenites with black bangs are depicted and in glasses in horny frame, and on the reverse side it is written: "Special formula for people with sensitive souls."

And the sign that emo-music has finally become part of a mass culture and consumption society, has become a contract american group My Chemical Romance with Mattel Inc toys manufacturer, prisoner in 2005. Under this contract, the company began production of dolls - figures of the musicians of the group, like figures of the heroes of popular films and television series.

Conclusions on the second chapter

The emergence of subculture Emo is associated with the events occurring in musical world USA in the 70-80 years of the last century. A new movement - Hardock - called for a failure of drunkenness, smoking, drug addiction, indiscriminate sexual ties and racial intolerance. The birth of the genre of music, better known as Emotional Hardcore, is directly related to two groups of the middle of the 80s: Rite of Spring (Guy Pizziotto) and Embrace (Jan McCay). The fans of this direction amounted to the basis of the emo-movement, which was out of the scope of the musical direction. At the same time, nothing new to the culture did not bring this movement, it simply accumulated some ideas of harder and the scene pancock.

Emo's movement, converted to the subculture, began to gain popularity in the US and Europe after 2000, in 2004-05. It stated itself in the CIS countries. Literally a year from the group at a maximum of a couple of hundred, the emo-movement has turned into a crowd of imitators who took from subculture only an outer shell and never understood its essence.

Today, the main distinguishing attribute of emo culture is the appearance of its representatives: sneakers, narrow jeans, postman bag, oblique bangs, black hair with pink inserts, etc. It is noteworthy that all this attribute does not have any symbolism, which confirms the origin Emo subculture, as an imitative and integrating value of other subcultures.

Emo subculture is called movement for teenagers, as its main part is the teenagers of 13-19 years. Business could not but react to this fact, and today there is a huge number of things, toys with the image of the symbolism of subculture.

The main reason, due to which teenagers go into subculture, is a misunderstanding of them from the people around others, especially families. An important motive is actually an appearance of EMO, attracting a teenager.

Chapter 3.Intelligences of the perception of the subculture of emo

.1 Description of samples and research methods

In the study, 2 samples were involved. The first was representatives of the subculture of EMO from different cities of Crimea aged 15 to 19 years old - 8 people: 5 girls and 3 guys. The second sample amounted to 20 TGEI students who do not have any of the subcultures.

In this paper, an adapted diagnostic test of relationships was used (G.U. Koshev-Soldatov) and the Association method.

The first technique is designed to study the emotional-estimated component of the stereotype. In this method, the respondents are assessed by these qualities at first the image of "I", then the abstract image "ideal", which in the context of each personality is considered as "correct" or "regulatory" attribution.

The following test procedures are estimates of the respondents of an abstract "typical" representative of their own community and "typical" representatives of the subculture of EMO.

Such a sequence of procedures is based on the assumption that the process of self-assessment or the evaluation of the "ideal" produced on the basis of social comparison can be compared with the estimates of "others" both individually and at the group level. It is likely that in assessing other personalities or entire groups, the same comparative levels that are used by a person for self-esteem (14) will be used.

In order to identify the presence of opposition and the subsequent definition of their severity as a possible empirical indicator of the emotional-estimated component of ethnic stereotype, twenty scales are used (Appendix 1). This test allows you to measure parameters such as ambivalence, severity and focus. These parameters are the meaningful characteristics of ethnic stereotypes, measurements of their "imagery". Quantitative parameters are considered as empirical indicators of the emotional-estimated component of the ethnic stereotype (14).

Ambivalence involves measuring the degree of emotional definiteness of the stereotype. High ambivalence coefficients (high uncertainty) are possible in the case of low polarization of estimates of opposite qualities of each pair, when the clear preference for the positive or negative assessment pole is not detected.

The low ambivalence coefficient (high definiteness of the stereotype), on the contrary, corresponds to the undoubted polarization of the qualities.

The ambition coefficient for this pair of qualities is determined by the formula:

Ai \u003d min (ai + + ai-) / max (ai + + ai-), where

Assessment of the respondent of positive quality, - evaluation of negative quality.

The general coefficient of ambivalence A is determined on the basis of ambivalence coefficients of all 20 scales.

A \u003d 1 / n (? AI); \u003d 0.05? A;

So, the higher the overall ambivalence coefficient, the higher uncertainty is characterized by attitudes towards this object; The lower this coefficient, the ratio is more definitely.

The severity (intensity) of the stereotype characterizes the power of the stereotype. The calculation of the severity coefficient (s) is based on the summation of well-polarized pairs of qualities. A separate severity coefficient for this pair will be the higher, the larger the distance between the quality estimates. The largest contribution to the value of the severity coefficient makes those pairs of qualities, the distance between the estimates of which on the continuum above average or maximum. In addition, the calculation of severity coefficients is made taking into account the assessment sign, as a result of which the stereotype intensity is detected, but also its positive or negative orientation (valence).

The severity coefficient filed with a pair of qualities is determined by the formula:

Si \u003d (Ai + - AI-) / 3 (1 + AI), where

Assessment of the respondent of positive quality - the assessment of negative quality - the ambivalence coefficient of this pair of qualities.

The total coefficient is determined on the basis of accounting for the severity coefficients of all 20 scales:

In the second methodology, respondents were invited to write, which associations arise from them in relation to Emo subcultures, ready, punks, metalworkers, rappers, hooligans and skinheads. This made it possible to show not only the estimated characteristics of the perception of subcultures, but also compare the modalities of perception of various subcultures.

3.2. Interpretation of research results

In the process of forming the sample of respondents, an interesting fact was discovered for the study, which may have more importance and interest than the data obtained as a result of testing. It turned out that the appearance: hairstyles characteristic of emo-kids, narrow jeans painted in black and pink color hair and others. Attributes are not sufficient criterion for calculating this individual to the subculture we studied. Only one of the five empty-dressed emo-kida individuals recognized affirmed belonging to this subculture. The rest of the most frequent answer to the question: "Why do you look like that?" There was a phrase: "We like this style." Thus, we once again have made sure that the style of Emo stopped being the prerogative of only representatives of this movement, it fuses into a massive culture as another fashionable, well "promoted" thing. It is not necessary to discard the option that many Emo, fearing the relationship negative, simply hide their attitude towards subculture, or, under the influence of social attitudes, displacing it.

Now we turn to empirical data. Diagnostic test Relationship allows to determine the coefficient of ambivalence, severity and the orientation of auto and heterosterotypes

We see the greatest degree of intensity in determining by representatives of the subculture emo of their community, the pairs of qualities are possessed: temperamental - hot-tempered, with a self-esteem - arrogant, carefree - a frivolous, cheerful - noisy, a large degree of negative or Echoid. But all these qualities are also characterized by a high percentage of ambivalence (except for the temperamental pair - hot-tempered), therefore, we can talk about a low degree of differentiation of these qualities (Table 1). Consequently, the attitude to these qualities is characterized by uncertainty, and respondents do not clearly polarize these qualities to positive - negative.

Compare these data with indicators in the sample of people who do not belong to any of the subcultures (Table 2). Note that the first sample had the opportunity to evaluate only the autostreotype, the second gave evaluation data and in relation to its subculture, and with respect to the subculture we studied by us.

The first thing to pay attention to the interpretation of tabular data is that out of 20 pairs of qualities when evaluating subculture Emo only 6 have a negative orientation. As a stereotype in the perception of Emo subculture, we can talk about personal qualities of sensitivity, non-profitability, careflaim and ease. Nevertheless, its environment of the second sample assesses more positively, and restraint, diplomaticity, self-esteem, sociability, courtesy and wit are as automated vehicles. This sample is also characteristic high coefficient ambivalence, i.e. Uncertainty about the emotional component of stereotype.

In the interpretation of the results of the second method, we divided the associations by modality by 3 types:

positive, characterizing the positive perception of subculture (good, kind, bold);

negative, with a negative assessment (stupid, evil, freaks);

neutral, or descriptive, not having an estimated nature (bald, dark clothing, hairy).

The percentage distributions of the three types of associations are shown in Tables 3 and 4.

Emo-kids naturally did not give any negative association to their subculture, descriptive associations prevail. Positive estimates gave 25% of respondents. Perhaps this is due to the position expressed in the second chapter: EMO accepted only the external attributes of the initially formed subculture, ignoring or bringing the ideological side of the movement to the absurdity.

The obtained data was confirmed by the well-known status of ill-advantage between EMO and Skinheads: 100% of negative associations with respect to the latter. Relationships with metal stations and hooligans also differ unfriendly. Half of the first sample respondents has positive associations towards panks. It is not surprising if we consider that many attributes of Emo subculture were taken from this movement. A neutral attitude is observed to the goths that are similar in appearance with emo.

The state of affairs in the second sample is somewhat different. Not all respondents have associations regarding subcultures presented. Like the first technique, the associations do not confirm the negative perception of a relatively studied subculture (negative associations only in 40% of respondents, which does not give us the right to judge the perception of the subculture of Emo, as a negative). Consequently, after analyzing the data of two techniques, it can be said that the hypothesis nominated by us that the ideas about the subculture of EMO in society are negative, not confirmed. However, it is impossible to argue that Emo subculture is perceived as a positive education: only one person from 10 respondents gave her a positive assessment. Similar situation with all other subcultures. The society cannot approve dissent and asocial behavior, but the attitude towards it is quite tolerant, excluding, maybe only representatives of obviously counter-society groups, such as skinheads and hooligans.

Conclusions on the third chapter

In the process of forming a sample for study, it turned out that the appearance is not a reliable indicator of the individual belonging to the Emo subculture. Then you should talk about Emo style, and not about subculture. The problem is that society is not capable of differentiate these concepts in this case. Therefore, we can observe the blurring of the stereotyping of this subculture, which is inevitably and relative to all individuals looking as emo.

None of the samples have a sufficient idea of \u200b\u200bthe differentiation of pairs of qualities presented in the "Diagnostic Test of Relationships" method, so we cannot allocate any one quality, which is certainly stereotypical. However, in the sample of representatives of the subculture, Emo stood the following trackstereedypes of perception: emo-kids temperament, with self-esteem, carefree, funny, nervous and eidny.

Representatives of the Company who do not consider themselves part of any subculture, perceive emo-kids as sensitive, non-profitable, carefree and relaxed.

Associations with which Emo-Kyda describe other subcultures give us the opportunity to approve a negative attitude towards skinheads, metal stakes and hooligans, as well as a more descriptive orientation of the autostreotype.

In the second sample there is a negative focus in the perception of the heterosterotype of the subculture of EMO, but it does not have a clear trend. A similar situation is observed in the perception of other subcultures. Almost all subcultures presented are perceived more than negatively (the exception is methlests and hooligans), but this orientation does not have a determining value when it would characterize the opinion of the majority. It can be reliably to say that no subculture has any strong support among the rest of the population.

Thus, the hypothesis that there are differences in how representatives of EMO perceive their subculture, and in how a society perceives it, not belonging to any of the subcultures, was confirmed, but not so clearly, as expected. The hypothesis that puts forward that the ideas about the subculture of EMO in society are negative, not confirmed, but we also have no reason to disprove it due to the lack of clear characteristics.

Conclusion

Often you have to hear that emo is the next destructive movement of young people, which is neither its participants or the whole society, nothing good. Meanwhile, if at least a little understand the topic, then you can find out that initially the emotional movement inherited a number of asocial ideas from punk culture was completely peaceful, and in many aspects even progressive.

The study of specific subcultures is a poorly studied problem of social psychology. This work does not pretend to be fully and detailed, it is an attempt to consider only a small part of this problem. The historical and cultural background was shown, in which the subculture of EMO was developed, its descriptive portrait and the features of its perception as a society and actually representatives of this subculture were investigated. The reasons that push the teenager to enter into the rows of subculture were not investigated. Some of them can be found in the work "Sukach A.A. Features of youth subculture: term work. - Simferopol, 2008, "Some were given in the theoretical part of the study. A methodological base is needed in refinement, which in this study is capable only to the lowest extent to highlight the problem of social relationships.

Five to six years ago, domestic youth was painfully fond of the emotional subculture for us, which came, as usual from Western countries. On the streets of the cities, black and pink flocks were hungry or boys, or girls who called emo-childs. Without understanding the ideological subtleties of a new subculture, our teenagers willingly painted their hair into the black, growing the cheeky and dodged into narrow pants. It would seem that everything is clear with them, but this article is written in order to understand a little, which represents the subculture of emotional children.

Not many know that the current emo wave is already the third on the score. The first wave was overwhelmed by Western countries back in 1984 and lasted as much until 1994. Then the formation of a new subculture was associated with the advent of a new punk species, because the punk to the 1980s began to lose its position, and the musicians guessed to diversify the traditional punk sound of more melodious vocals. The second wave was no longer so noticeable in the late 1990s, but it was reached only by the beginning of the 2000s.

As for the ideological foundation of emo-movement, the main rule for each self-kida self-respecting itself is not to be shy to express their emotions. If you have fun, then you need to laugh from the soul, if it is hurt and bad, then you need not to keep it in yourself, but crying vyzryd. Special emphasis is on the romanticization of death, cult elevated love and hypersensitivity to everything that happens around. Ideally, the real emo-kide should fight for peace in the whole world and be a vegetarian. At the very least, such a law was formed in the emotional subculture at the dawn of its appearance - in the 1980s.

Musical preferences also play an important role in Emo's life. Appeared special direction In music - an emocor, which is characterized by traditional riffs for Hardkore, combined with dramatic and emphasized emotional vocals. The emotional shade palette in the vocal is more than expressive: from a hurried whisper and sobs, to the heartbreaking Scrim-Grorla. It is thematically, these are songs about loneliness, undivided love, rejection and death. With the moment of spreading emo-subculture, a great set of emo teams appeared in our regions, and some of them occupied a worthy place on the Andegudic scene.

Style in clothes - the main indicator of adolescent involvement to emo-movement. Domestic emo-kids, like nassed, are approximately the same hairstyles, striped leggings and black-pink sneakers. The abundance of piercing and tattoos is welcomed. Boys and girls wear tightly alien jeans, numerous bracelets, striped sweaters and t-shirts with children's drawings. Girls often dress short skirts and leggings. Basic colors in clothing - black and pink in various variations: two-color cell or strip. An indispensable attribute - a large postal bag over the shoulder with huge number icons on it. Regardless of the floor, the young emo can make up nails and bring his eyes black. Such a neglect of secondary sexual signs is not by chance - many emo Kyda insist on their bisexuality. This, in turn, is explained by infinite love to all in a row.

As soon as subculture Emo. It became popular in CNCHNA countries, emo-kids immediately became the object of ridicule from representatives of other subcultures. Often, emo boys became (and become) victims of violence from other informals. Adults scored alarm, because they saw the propaganda of suicide, depression and loneliness, and were not right away. Romanticization of death (hello from the Gothic subculture) and the notorious cutting of the veins led to real sacrifices - girls and boys resorted to Suicide because of unrequited love. As for me, the emo-kids themselves are to blame. Do not bother with the search for information about your subculture, they adopt the style of behavior and the manner to dress at the peers, without thinking as far as it is correct.

Despite the fact that the subculture of EMO implies hyperimationality, domestic emo-kids are trying to maintain a melancholic mood, bordering a depressive state. Style in clothes has nothing to do with emotions in the West. In the US and Europe, emo-kids identify themselves with children, they do not accept piercing and tattoos and in clothes prefer pastel and natural colors and shades. So we can safely say that the subculture of emo with us is a pathetic similarity of the Western youth movement, moreover, is radically opposed to the fact that in the West is called "Emo". Perhaps, if young men and girls, before cutting the cheek, asked the sources of their subculture, the attitude towards this subculture would be completely different.

emo hate themselves, goths hate everyone

Youth subculture Emo, as the subculture is ready, "hatched" from the punk. And if, let them and quite far away from the aggressive rebellion of punks to the removal from the world and a purely aesthetic protest, something else can be associated with panks, then I will not put any emo and nearby.

The name of the subculture of EMO is the reduction from the English "Emotional", "emotional". The main thing for emo-kids, namely, they, along with emo-fight and emo-Gerl, can call, this is an expression of emotions. Representative of the subculture EMO is the wounded and subject to depressive states. Emo's favorite gestures are as emotional as they themselves. Emo can fold his hands in the form of a heart, put two fingers to the temple on the manner of a gun or tilt her head to hang the cheeve, which gives their appearance even greater pointiness.

It is believed that for the first time on Emo spoke in the West in 1988. The subculture of Emo also began with music - namely from the speeches of the Fugazy group. In other sources, they write that the first EMO appear in 1984 and their appearance is associated with the work of the group "Rites of Spring".

And if Pankov is youth from the outskirts, Goths are middle class, then emo - originally children from secured families. EMOS in the late 1980s - early 1990s western countries called alternative golden young people. The second wave of the popularity of subculture Emo fell at the beginning of the 2000s.

The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe subculture of Emo is the importance of emotions, however, the emotions are also displayed at the same time. It is no coincidence, emo-kyda, like no other, love to photograph yourself in the mirror. Emo believe in love - real and sincere, but in most cases they are experiencing the emotions of sadness and sadness, and certainly like no other know that life is suffering.

Clothing style and accessories Emo subculture

Like the ready, the style of young men-emo has a lot in common with the style of girls, and in general the image of young people in the style of emo inherent femininity. Like the ready, the main color in clothes is black. But not the only one. A pair of pink color.

Characteristic element of clothes in Emo style - Signal jeans. Girls wear skirts. All emo wear narrow tightly t-shirts, black or pink belts, sneakers with bright or black laces, slippers (shoes similar to slippers, but with rubber sole), checkered spheres-araphaks on the neck.

On Emo's clothes, you can find unusual and bright drawings - hearts, blades, pistols. Sometimes the pink heart can be with a crack or generally broken into the shreds. And there are still a skull with bones, a black five-pointed star on a pink background and cartoon characters.

Emo's clothing can be stripped and a cage.

Bags with images or logos of famous emo groups, postal bags (bags that are worn over shoulder) with numerous poppipes.
Mice and gloves.

Gaiters and golfs.
Scarves and icons attached to clothing and even to shoes.
Multicolored bright bracelets on hand.
Beads are large and bright colors.

Soft toys that emo worn with them. And with its teddy bear Emo can pour out the stomachs and sew their thick threads.

Yunoshi-emo is often wearing glasses as an accessory.

Easily identify emo and hairstyles. Hairstyle Emo is oblique, torn cheekka to the tip of the nose, covering one eye, and behind short hair sticking in different directions. Hair is better than black. Girls can wear "children's" hairstyles - for example, two small tails with bright hairpins on the sides, a bows.

Emo wear piercing, no longer the heirs of punks. Piercing can be on the left nostril, on lips and eyebrows, in the bridge, pierce emo and ears.

Makeup among emo is used as girls and boys - they put lipstick in the skin color on the lips, for eyeliner, a pencil and mascara use a light tone cream on the face, on the nails - black varnish.

Today there are a little followers of this subculture and their main feature is not a direction in music, but the style of clothing and manner of behavior. Modern emo most attention is paid to the style of clothing and accessories. In general, they come correctly, why score the head of dubious music and depressive ideology, when it is better to live with traditional values, but to stand out an unusual style of clothing and experiments with images.

Everything can be found in life, and various representatives of youth subcultures are not the most amazing. But in their behavior there are many strange moments:

1. Why do they like the same clothes?
2. What attracts the selected movement?
3. How do they live in such an image?

Most often, these questions in our country raise in relation to those who, to the soul, the subculture "Emo". It is worth noting the fact that this direction has literally mutated and has changed much compared to its original character. Many Emo do not even realize how far they are from pioneers, and continue to live with false ideas About your movement.

Where does the wind blow?

The previous century turned out to be rich in the opening of fundamentally new cultures (although it remains current phrases that everything new is well forgotten old). The etymology of the word "emo" is very simple and is available even for a person with a complete ignorance of foreign languages.

Emo's subculture in English sounds like "Emotional", which means "emotional". In sociology and cultural studies, this is a certain part of public culture, which has fundamental differences with the prevailing. In essence, it is a little world with its values, manner of behavior, style and even tongue. Of course, it is worth noting the fact that such communities differ in many basic factors, for example, by national, demographic, professional or geographical.

The subculture of Emo appeared as a reaction of society to the sermost and the attenuation of the present. Every day, most people go to the unloved job, knowing that they would spend the whole day there, having hooked a false smile, while under the sight of tracking cameras (which is now found completely and nearby). We hide your real emotions under the mask, forgetting that one's life is one, it will not be possible to repeat it. Real emotions are genuine life. On the basis of this thought there is a whole move.

From the history

It is worth noting the achievement of the American sociologist David Ryzman, who in his work identified groups of people similar to style and moral values, in subculture. In turn, Dick Hebdidge wrote a book on subcultures and the meaning of style, having told his point of view into groups and deciding that the main motive for the separation is dissatisfaction with generally accepted standards.

The topic began to study the Frenchman Michel Miffesoli, who called such youth movements by the city tribes, but Victor Dolnik was more delicate in his book writings and used the concept of "clubs". In the USSR subculture was informal associations, which were also called parties. This relationship is understandable, because representatives of such movements differed from the total mass.

There were only three major topics that were not affected by the organizers and ideological inspirations of subcultures. It is a prison, drugs and homosexuality. These areas themselves are so specific that dividing inside of them does not attract others and does not cause desire to join.
