The term subculture is true to a certain extent because they fight against and resist against the mainstream however the form of this is diverse and internally coherent.

Pop music and youth culture
Pop stars are constructed to appeal to a specific target market with specific values however music intuitions don’t always know how to target the audience as their likes and dislikes are always changing.
Richard dyer believed the Stars represent shared cultural values and attitudes, and will promote a certain ideology and fans believe in the same values will support the star. Fans would try copy the star in order to feel closer to them and the lifestyle they have. Dyer’s star theory was originally for movie stars however it can be applied to pop stars as they rise to fame quicker.
