The autor presents an interpretation of the emergence of subcultures. They result from a „constructed reality“, i.e. from interactive attributions.

General theories are adapted to delineate the object of analysis. Subcultures are dealt with mostly in a purely descriptive way. There is a strong need for a genuine theory of subcultures
