Introduction
Subculture developing in China through out networks, magazines, and fashion industry. In Internet age, the Propaganda still being produced by mass media, different cultural voices are still being strictly controlled by government as the past 20 years. Subculture always survive in between the gap, its main developing space is to find the mainstream organization to cooperate with, for example fashion or entertainment industry. What's interesting differed from the western subculture is, Chinese subculture audiences are mostly influenced by Western subculture in between 1970-2000s. After decades, Chinese rock'n'roll happened since 1990s, first brought in by some young westerners. China never go through any Sextual revolution or large-scale Feminism movement, subculture spreading on network, cultural products, and also build up the so-called "Beijing street kid"'s dream about the west.
