Pseudo-socialization in creative youth subcultures

The findings of a study of a current social trend development of youth sub-cultures are presented. The findings led the authors to question the opinion that a subculture is a form of social addiction and to suggest that the trend reflects an important tendency of contemporary socio-genesis, a specific form of social adjustment. However there are signs of a dangerous deviation in creative subcultures which are defined as quasi-legitimacy of initiations and identity The meaning of the phenomenon is that representatives of creative subcultures identify with the social reality they create, psychologically isolating this reality from real life. In fact they become de-socialized, although from outside this de-socialization looks like social adjustment and even social achievement.
