Are youth subcultures genuine signs of revolt or simply the manifestation of style?

I don't believe that in all cases a youth culture is a group of people revolting against society, youth sub-cultures are more like a trend, within the youths, and most of the time are people just trying to fit in with a crowd or style. A sub-culture can sometimes be a revolt, for example against your parents, but it is based on how you are brought up and your relationship with your parents that effects a reaction, like Cohen said, that youth sub-cultures are 'the need to create and express autonomy and difference from parents and need to maintain parental identifications.' This is true to some cases, as an extreme style could shock parents and bring them to the realisation that their child is outrageous, a rebellion. This is something i believe comes with teenage years, as most people do grow out of these sub-cultures, like 'Emo' or 'Grunge',people of my age now look back and laugh at the styles they used to follow. Fashion and music also affect the sub-cultures, many styles stem from idolisation of artists, such as the Emo look and 'My Chemical Romance' and the grunge look years ago from bands such as 'Linkin Park' and 'Lost Prophets'. Wearing a certain outfit and having a certain look i do not believe completely is a revolt, more of manifestation of style brought on by the industries that surround us.
