At all times, there were groups of people whose values, appearance and lifestyle were contrary to public opinion. Among young people and adolescents, this is manifested in the form of the emergence of subcultures. All subcultures have their own values, words and expressions, adopted only in this group, behaviors, their own symbols and slogans. Previously, they were Goths, emo, hippies and metallers. Now more and more people are wondering who the offenders are. It is time to talk about them.
What do they mean when they talk about the subculture of offenders?
Who are the offenders? This is a very popular subculture recently, having its own external manifestations and intragroup values.
Attracted by an interesting name, attributes or sonorous slogans, teenagers get there through communication with other teenagers who are fond of the culture of offers, or groups in social networks. The brave offensive guys in the photo seem to them heroes. Young immature minds are taught to be strong, healthy and evil. They go to the “hammers", where they show the character or defend their point of view with the help of fists. Offers arrange fights in sparsely populated places. Everything that happens is accompanied by video. Although more often it’s just a group of teenagers who can restore order in their area. The reason for the skirmishes among the offenders themselves, between representatives of this subculture with other people, may be things or inappropriate behavior.
How to recognize him in the crowd?
For any teenager, appearance is very important. Clothing for offenders is not just elements of style, but a means of expression with a certain message.
Their tucked jeans are a reason to join the battle. Therefore, ordinary people need to bypass the place of gatherings of representatives of this subculture. After all, you never know what might cause a skirmish. What is not worth buying? Things with the logos Supreme, Palace, THRASHER, Tommy Hilfiger. Although representatives of many other different subcultures prefer to wear the clothes of these companies, for offenders they can be a reason for aggression. Sputnik 1985 T-shirts, items from the famous designer Gosha Rubchinsky, camouflage pants, jackets, panama jackets, compass jackets, items with the NAPAPIJRI and The North Face labels that appeared on the teenager should also make his parents think. Clothing from Gosha Rubchinsky can cost 40, and 20 and 10 thousand rubles. Where does the young unemployed person get money for expensive things is a big question. Parents of young offers do not even realize that high-quality expensive clothing can become a material manifestation of some views of their child.
Offnik is a football player?
Who is a behavioral offender? The patterns of behavior that are popular with one particular group of this subculture can vary greatly. There are those who call themselves “right” (aggressors, anarchists) or “left” (anti-fascists). Sometimes between the words "offnik" and "okolofutbolshchik" put an equal sign. Is this so?
It all depends on the goals of this community. For example, next to the calls not to drink alcohol, to play sports, to love nature, you can stand “to be a warrior - it means to live forever”, “there is no fear, there is no pain”, “to be, not to seem, to beat, not to touch”, and the fascist swastika will be adjacent to newfangled Slavic letters.
Girls in the ranks of offers
In the massacres that teenagers arrange because of the style of clothing or just for the sake of the fight itself, both boys and girls-offenders participate.
They are no less cruel, and sometimes even more so than guys. Ladies who call themselves Slavs love to take part in mass fights, shoot their fights on camera and use foul language. Although initially it was understood that the offer girl was a faithful friend, a good friend and a person who does not need discounts in battle.
Internet propaganda
Advocacy in online communities is a powerful way to manipulate and promote your interests. In this regard, the subculture of offers, as they are also called, can be called the most advanced. A lot of VKontakte public videos and videos of fierce fights not only attract the eyes of schoolchildren, but also cause a desire to become similar to offenders. More and more notes appear in newspapers about the collision of a particular group of schoolchildren with bats or knives hiding their faces.
Subculture Offenders and Teens
The desire for freedom and expression, belonging to a subculture can lead to a violation of the law and imprisonment in the end. Vandalism, grievous bodily harm, beatings, hooliganism - this is just a short list of what the subculture of offenders can bring with it.
Teenagers who are fond of the culture of the offerers are well aware that their behavior is contrary to moral standards and laws in force in the Russian Federation. Attracted more with paraphernalia than with some spiritual values, more and more young men and women are becoming offenders. If freedom is an opportunity to act at one’s discretion outside the norms of customary morality, can a person consider himself free within the framework of one subculture? Adolescents who are so eager for the approval of their peers or
socially significant adults are becoming hostages of a new morality and new rules. Rules to be evil and young.
Who are the offenders, and is it possible to put an equal sign between the words “offnik” and “bully”, “vandal”, only time will tell. Since the subculture is new and developing, its values ​​and slogans are also changing. People who determine for themselves what an offender means are also changing. Whether these adolescents, having matured, will be able to become people truly capable of waging a struggle for existence in various forms of its manifestation outside parental care, it will become clear only after the lapse of years.
