Hebdige is one of the most recent theorists we have studied in CMC and it's interesting to see how his ideas regarding subculture corresponds to other theories/theorists we have studied. For example, Jenck's postmdoernism architecture ideas ultimately relates to ideas that focus on de Saussure's semiotics and structuralism as certain concepts regarding language are said. Hebdige's discussion regarding subculture focuses mainly on the notion of punk and hippie subcultures - think Hot Topic and ripped jeans.
The subculture mentioned in class shapes us as individuals. For example, if I were to interact with someone from UCF, instead of saying campus center, I would say student union. If I were to hang out with someone from Berkeley, I would use a very different lingo.
