Music Culture and Clothing - A Background to Hip Hop

Youth culture is about so much more than clothes. It is an integration of music, lyrics, attitudes and language as well as the way you have your hair, the type of slang you speak, the specific sub culture you associate with. All of these different aspects that are adopted by young people produce a form of identity, self expression and acceptance by like minded people. Hip hop music and the stars that where them influence hip hop fashion, while hip hop fashion on the street influences the music.
