When a group has a distinctive way of looking at life, but its values and norms reflect the dominant culture of its society, the group would be considered a subculture. A subculture exists within the larger framework of the dominant culture but maintains certain unique characteristics that differentiate it from the mainstream culture. Members of a subculture may share common beliefs, behaviors, and symbols that set them apart, yet they still operate within the broader cultural context of the society.
