What is meant by youth culture? What are its trademarks and what qualities are valued by youth culture?

VerifiedYouth culture consists of standardized ways of thinking, acting, and feeling that are adopted by a large percentage of young people. It manifests itself in peer-group trademarks such as particular forms of dress and body art; distinctive ways of speaking; and preferred music and entertainment idols. Ideas about qualities and achievements are important in youth culture, with differing ideas for males and females. For males, the critical signs of masculinity include athletic skill, physical mastery, sexual prowess, risk taking, willingness to defend one's honor at all costs, and courage in the face
