Pranav Lowe · Answer 1

a. True

Explanation:

A subculture, in the broadest sense, is a group of people who create a language, symbols, rites, roles, behaviours, etc. that they share. These are alternative to the larger hegemonic culture which encompasses them, but they are still part of that culture. Examples of large subcultures in the United States could be related to things like:

ethnicity, like being latino, being white, being black; identifying to a geographical area of the country, like being from the east coast, the west coast, or the midwest; professional communities; shared interests, like gamers; generation, like being a millenial or a baby boomer
