Abstract
The present paper explores the role of music in teenage subcultures, its importance in defining identity, building a community and resistance.  It is based on both theoretical concepts and real-life information that the study reveals the role of music styles as codes in the culture that helps young people demonstrate who they are or who they want to be, acquire their own position in society, and establish shared values.  The results indicate that music fosters a sense of belonging in terms of providing a social stage on which one can express emotions and at the same time enables a person to distinguish themselves with mainstream culture.  Examples of subcultures that demonstrate how music can be used as a form of protest, innovation and social commentary include hip-hop, punk and electronic.  This study shows that digital media and foreign broadcast environments create a worse situation that enhances the capability of adolescent subcultures to transcend physical boundaries, whilst maintaining culturally specific identities.  These revelations condemn the consideration of the role of music as a minor to the aesthetic satisfaction because the music is a powerful social tool that helps young people to navigate the sense, resist conformism and unify.  According to the study, the connection of music and subcultures of adolescents must be valued to learn more about general trends in cultural development, the formation of identities, and generational manifestations in modern society.
