Features: A series of critical studies on popular culture. Chinese youth culture is interpreted within the context of society and history through the classification of "role vs. non-role" and the scheme of "sacred-secular-roaming." Youth culture is often described as a trend or social issue in modern society, but whether as the culture of young people or the culture related to young people, youth culture has not emerged only today. Sociological exploration of youth culture can be considered a "thankless task," but it is an attractive challenge.
