post class Hebdige

I liked in class how we talked about subcultures and related it to schools and colleges. I never really thought how every school has its own language such as r-card, country club, fox day and many more. Its true that every school creates its own culture and ideologies within themselves that we subconsciously conform to. Without thinking these new ways and words become part of our everyday life when we become a Rollins students without ever thinking twice. How many times have you wrote foxday to a friend at another school and they have no idea what you are talking about and you just don’t understand why. We use these words in everyday life and expect everyone to understand. After reading Hebdige it made me think about how many things really are subcultures such as sports, clubs, communities, schools that I never would of thought in that way. Everything we do and take part of has its own ideas and words used everyday and we never think twice about it, just assume everyone understands. It made me realize how so many acts of everyday life take part subconsciously and how many different subcultures people truly are apart of.
