What is reactive and independent subculture?

Answer 1

A reactive subculuture is a culture within a culture created in response to the prevailing norms and values of the main or wider culture and also opposing it. Independent subculture on the other hand is also a culture within a culture but isn't created in response to anything but the group is formed around a particular set of shared interests; their norms and values reflect the focus of the group's interests.

Answer 2

A reactive subculture is one that emerges in response to mainstream culture or social norms, often as a form of resistance or critique. An independent subculture, on the other hand, is one that exists separately from mainstream culture, with its own values, practices, and beliefs that are not necessarily in direct opposition to the dominant culture.
