Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the subculture that suits you. Today, informals are goths, punks, hippies, hipsters, rappers, metal and folk metal. In order to become an informal, first of all, you need to decide for yourself what kind of informal you want to be. To do this, study the culture, habits, customs and lifestyle of each subculture, until you choose the one whose philosophy most coincides with your life views.
Step 2
Link your decision to the music you listen to. As a rule, youth subcultures are closely associated with art and, most often, with music. For example, punks listen to punk rock, goths listen to gothic, metal musicians listen to metal, and so on. Against the background of typical and "formal" music, informal movements imply a commitment to rock music, which has always been a kind of protest. That is why the differences in the genre features of rock music gave rise to the division of young people into certain subcultures. When choosing one of them, start, first of all, from your personal musical preferences.
Step 3
Change the style. If you have decided on the music and, accordingly, the informal movement to which you want to belong, it's time to study the features of the appearance of the representatives of the chosen subculture. For example, Goths are characterized by black clothes, leather, latex, spikes, gloves, long raincoats. They dye their hair black, apply black varnish on their nails. Black is the main distinguishing feature of the Gothic. Punks love bright things - plaid, black and white stripes, stripes. The punk's hairstyle is a mohawk, often dyed in bright colors - green, red, orange. Hippies love loose colored shirts, wide leg pants, jeans, long skirts. They wear long hair - both women and men, braid their braids, put on baubles woven from beads or macramé on their hands. Hipsters are semi-austere. Large rectangular or square glasses with thick frames, scarves, shirts, black jeans or trousers, sneakers on the legs. Whichever subculture you choose, it is the appearance that will allow you to most "loudly" declare that you are an informal.
Step 4
Attend themed events. Since informals are representatives of various youth associations, from time to time events are held at which one or another subculture gathers. These can be rock concerts, exhibitions, festivals, etc. By visiting them, you will dynamically merge into the chosen culture, find like-minded people, and also be able to better learn the intricacies of informal life.
