Etymology

Urban Culture

The world has changed dramatically ever since the introduction of computers, but even more so after everyone started using one on a daily basis. Computers are used for daily communication of texts, emails, annd status updates on social sites. This is much different from when people didnt use mobile devices. In the end this makes it so information from around the globe can be quickly and efficiently sent over a matter of seconds. People online met up in communities of all types. For example if you like Juggling Blue Fleas you could meet a group online which was interested in Juggling Blue Fleas. If you needed to look up a recipe for how to make a Mechanical Moving Cake you could probably find that too. The digital world really changed the way we as a people communicate. This made it so people who were living anywhere could meet anywhere and do about anything. It was only a matter of time before people saw that single interests could lead up to something much bigger then just a single interest, but a group of them.

As the idea of Hip Hop came a rising wonder on the word of Urban Culture. Hip Hop was called a way of life and so were the cultures before it like Hippies, Disco, Rock, and Popular Culture of the time. It wouldn't be long until someone started to take notice that Traditional Culture was very much like Urban Culture. People started to call Hip Hop and the cultures before it Urban Culture, which is what was happening in Hawaii and its existing urban cultures of hiphop, gothic, steampunk, rinascimento, and surfer.

There is a definition of Urban Culture which does not describe a Culture based from a city or fad. This is a study of each individual city in sociology. Does it mean the same thing? hardly. This idea of Urban Culture is a new definition to a word. A changing of an idea which some may or may not have heard. A culture based off of a general theme. It can be traditional, contemperary, and modified based on the people involved in the urban culture.

Historically people have constantly been looking for new and different ways to live on a "Thats Cool" basis, however new is starting to get difficult to come by and people are referring to the old. The idea of Retro is now cool as well as the new. This leaves room of further developement into existing Urban Culture and makes people prospectively think of new Urban Culture trends for the future.

Pop Culture from a Country, Traditional Culture, and Urban culture all come down to a group of people. These groups of people come under one idea of what they see or value or things which are of interest. If you read on each of these topics you will notice that it is conforming to a general popular idea of the Country, Tradition, and/or Urban area. To be an individual must be a chosen path on your decision making. The decision making you choose is the sole thing which makes you different. The non conforming individuality lays in your past, present, and future decisions.
