Adolescence is a time of transition and growing independence. However the experiences that young adults seek today are quite different to those in previous decades.Mods, punks, rockers, flappers, hippies: there was a time when young people made their loyalties clear by the way they dressed. A popular film of the 1970s called Grease based on the early Australian subculture reflects this notion.
