High school subcultures

A high school subculture is comprised of a group of high school students with identifiable and distinctive traits. (Such a group can also be known as a 'clique' or 'clic'.) High school subcultures frequently identify with a larger subculture extant in the society as a whole, although some are high school specific. Some groups associate easily; others have traditional animosities. Not all of these subcultures exist in a given high school; regional differences and even radical differences in extant subcultures between nearby high schools exist. The name for a substantially similar subculture in two different places is also often different. Some subcultures (e.g. jocks and nerds) are quite old; others (e.g. goths) are relatively new.

Although this term is prevalent in the United States, it has been related by anecdotal evidence that such subcultures exist internationally.
