Subculture
Captions available
The idea
A subculture is a group sharing patterns that set it apart from the wider society, while it continues to accept that society's main values.
In practice
Competitive chess players have their own vocabulary, etiquette, and status ladder, and no quarrel with the wider society.
Where people slip
Difference alone makes a subculture; opposition is a further step.
