Many reasons,

-Sociologist Willis (1977) suggested pupils form subcultures due to their limited opportunities in the education system.

-Hargreaves (1973) suggested subcultures are due to negative labelling, people want to gain high status .

-Sewell suggested black Caribbean students produced subcultures due to negative reactions from teachers and wanted to form some sort of defence mechanism.

Could be to gain respect, due to labelling, due to teacher racism students feel they cant influence, due to preconceived expectations students feel they cannot influence, due to peer pressure, or just wanting to fit in somewhere...

Our group is a subculture because we share certain values, interests, and beliefs that differentiate us from the mainstream culture, but we are not actively opposing or seeking to change dominant societal norms and values like a counterculture would. Instead, we exist alongside the broader culture, forming our own unique identity within it.
