When Youth Became A Cultural Attitude

The 1980s writing was once a hot topic.Dispute about this phenomenon is not just limited to the literature.Young people of China always bore too much social expectations but didn't have their own voice,their own style, and even their own culture.The 1980s caused many disputes because they deviated from the social expectations of young people,especially the social expectations of students.The behavior and writing of 1980s had their unique significance precisely because of this departure.From the new concept composition contest,the 1980s author appeared in the people's attention and then gradually occupied the excellent business opportunities.By the new concept composition contest and 'Meng Ya', 1980s author won their readers.In this paper,I will interpret the 1980s writing from the perspective of youth subculture.Compared to the dominant youth culture,the 1980s writing is a youth subculture which has its own consciousness,style and characteristic.The 1980s writing is rebellious,illusory and narcissistic.On the basis of a new and open external environment and the abundant knowledge got through the internet,they tried to express themselves in new methods.The 1980s writing was influenced by contemporary Chinese literature and foreign literature,especially the popular culture of Japan and South Korea.At the same time,urban culture and consumption also impact their lives and writing.When they encountered the temptations of the market in a strong business climate,the yearning for the success made their writing frivolous and superficial.But their success represents the market of the culture needs of youth with a very attractive way. Many 1980s authors gained the initiative of market in a subtle interaction with market.Many 1980s authors involved in the magazine and publishing industry,some of them even started their own magazines and books and won more right to speak.This also promoted the development of youth culture.
