Тhe understanding of subcultures as social phenomena that affects the adaptation of the individual in modern society is more than necessary in the field of sociology. Today we live in a world full of ambiguities in which the official culture is more a con­fusing than a unifying factor for citizens who are burdened with the daily de­mands of the "System". The world of subcultures is transcendent, and offers them va­lues ​​that these people cannot articulate in the formal groups they are constantly in. However, in a postmodern society where culture is demystified and disfigured, subcultures change their meaning and often through them the official culture im­po­ses its positions on further cultural development of the human population.
