Book Chapter Description

Young people’s peer culture encompasses norms and conventions, shared interests and activities, and unique modes of communication. Mobile phone enabled and online media constitute an increasingly important part of young people’s lives worldwide. This chapter explores how young people integrate their media consumption into their peer culture focusing on three facets: media use in face-to-face interaction, mobile phone peer culture, and online peer culture. It delves into salient trends such as gender norms in smartphone use, youth social and political activism, and demarginalization of youths on the fringe. The chapter also provides a closer examination of youth subcultures that are media-based and media-facilitated including pro-anorexia, K-pop fans, and LGBTQ groups.
