\t\t\t\tIf you are familiar with words such as \u201cyuppie\u201d or \u201chipster\u201d. Then you already know what subcultures are.<\/p>\n

A subculture is a group of people within a larger culture that differentiates itself through distinct beliefs, values, styles of clothing, or choices of music. Add to the West\u2019s various subcultures, there are a few Chinese subcultures too.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Popular subcultures such as \u201cyuppie \u96c5\u75de (y\u01ce p\u01d0)\u201d and \u201chipster \u201c\u6f6e\u4eba (ch\u00e1o r\u00e9n)\u201d have already been adopted by Chinese people. However, there are many Chinese subcultures that have yet to really materialize in the western world.<\/p>\n

Today, we introduce you to five of the most interesting Chinese subcultures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. \u5c0f\u6e05\u65b0 xi\u01ceo q\u012bng x\u012bn<\/h3>\n

Typically, \u5c0f\u6e05\u65b0(xi\u01ceo q\u012bng x\u012bn) are young women who are artsy, graceful. And privileged enough to have refined tastes in food, travel, music, and lifestyle.<\/p>\n

\u5c0f\u6e05\u65b0 prefer clothes in whites and pastels, and give off a vibe of fresh, youthful energy. The words \u201c\u6e05\u65b0\u201d literally means \u201cfresh,\u201d and \u201c\u5c0f\u201dmeans \u201clittle\u201d \u2013 so a \u5c0f\u6e05\u65b0 is just like a little breath of fresh air.<\/p>\n

2. \u767d\u5bcc\u7f8e b\u00e1i f\u00f9 m\u011bi<\/h3>\n

The female equivalent of \u9ad8\u5bcc\u5e05 is \u767d\u5bcc\u7f8e (b\u00e1i f\u00f9 m\u011bi), which describes the Chinese beauty standard for a girl to be pale, rich, and beautiful. The characters \u767d\u5bcc\u7f8e literally break down to \u201cwhite,\u201d \u201crich,\u201d and \u201cbeautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

The famous Chinese actress Fan Bing Bing is well-known for being a fabulous \u767d\u5bcc\u7f8e. In fact, she was recently ranked 5th on the Forbes list of highest paid actresses in the world in 2016!\"fan<\/p>\n

3. \u9ad8\u5bcc\u5e05 g\u0101o f\u00f9 shu\u00e0i<\/h3>\n

When a Chinese girl is searching for her Prince Charming, what do you think are the top traits she\u2019s searching for? A sense of humor and honesty\/kindness all aside, if you guessed \u9ad8\u5bcc\u5e05 (g\u0101o f\u00f9 shu\u00e0i), you are absolutely correct.<\/p>\n

\u9ad8\u5bcc\u5e05 (g\u0101o f\u00f9 shu\u00e0i) is a term that originated on the internet referring to an ideal guy to date. It literally means \u201ctall,\u201d \u201crich,\u201d and \u201chandsome\u201d — three highly desirable traits for men in modern Chinese society.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, a \u9ad8\u5bcc\u5e05 should have refined manners and behave like a gentleman. Otherwise, he might just be a \u571f\u8c6a (t\u01d4 h\u00e1o), one of the tacky nouveau riche that\u2019s so often mocked in western media. This is a highly sought after Chinese subculture by both men and women alike.\"wallace<\/p>\n

4. \u6740\u9a6c\u7279 sh\u0101 m\u01ce t\u00e8<\/h3>\n

Dark eyeliner, black clothes, and crazy spiked dyed red, yellow, and blue hair. You might get a little scared if you bumped into a group of \u6740\u9a6c\u7279 after dark.<\/p>\n

\u6740\u9a6c\u7279 is one of the most popular Chinese subcultures. They typically consist of rural transplants who only had a middle school education and ended up working in urban low paying jobs at hair salons, internet cafes or restaurants. They run in gangs, meet each other in \u201cfamilies\u201d on the internet.<\/p>\n

The \u6740\u9a6c\u7279 style might remind you of the \u201cemo\u201d trend that was popular in the early 2000s, can you see a resemblance?<\/p>\n
