Beliefs/Values
The hip-hop subculture is a universal culture that promotes diversity among its audience. There is a union of ethnicities in this subculture that allows kids from Detroit to relate to kids in Hong Kong through hip-hop music. The hip-hop subculture has a great influence among teens of all ethnicities. Teens are persuaded through the hip-hop music to rebel against their parents and the status quo (society's expectations). This rebellion derives from teens feeling empowered and feeding off of this censorship. Teens like that the status quo and parents seek to censor this culture and they feed off of this censorship because its viewed as wrong and defies social norms.
Mainstream Influence Promotion of the hip-hop subculture is prominent among various industries. Sitcoms like: Jamie Foxx, Fresh Prince and Martin endorse and promote this culture. Black humor used to appeal only to the black population; now, it's more widespread. Also, the hip-hop culture is promoted in movies. Movies that seek to depict urban street reality are successful in cutting through ethnic boundaries and uniting them.
