Skaters - Teen Subculture



Skaters


Skaters are a subculture who enjoy skating and can be commonly mistaken for punks. Skating comes from California and the fashion is very relaxed wearing jeans, t-shirts (vans or emerica) and skate shoes. Skaters can be grouped together by fashion, slang and style. Skaters have very chilled values and attitudes, with only an interest in skating. Their music is along the pop-punk, reggage-rock roots and is usually upbeat with tales of high school and skating.

In this music video 'Heaven is a Halfpipe' by OPM, the wholes song is about skating and you can see by the fashion; baggy shorts, vans, caps and skatebaords. 

Skaters do not want to be associated with mainstream style, they want to be free and this is shown in their attitude and style.
