Hebdige briefly highlights the range of subcultures such as "hard mods", skinheads, and spiritual Rastafarians that originated in London in the late 1950's and well into the mid 1960's. He argues that the style of these different subcultures separated themselves from Britian's frameworked culture and instead challenged tradition.
