Does performing arts life style qualify as a culture?

Why culture is important?

Culture is essential because it permits people to communicate between themselves simply, without thinking about the meaning of every word.

Generally we are unaware of its influence on how we perceive the world and how we interact with in it.

What is culture?

Culture governs every aspect of our lives and, like most people, we’re not really aware. The first definition of culture would be: music, literature, visual arts, architecture and language.

However, cultural products that we perceive with our five senses are simply manifestations of that culture really means – what we do, think and feel.

Culture is taught, learned and shared – there is no culture for each person. Yet culture is not monolithic – people exist differently in a culture. It is symbolic.

The significance is attributed to behaviour, words and objects, and this meaning is objectively arbitrary, subjectively logical and rational.

Hip hop heads

This is the name given to people that live their lives, around Hip hop culture. It is manifested through the way people dress, walk and talk. There’s an entire dialogue of words that have meaning founded in this sub-culture if I may call it that, some of the words have meaning as per their language of origin. The origins may be traced to attempts of trying to conceal the true meaning of the statement made by the speaker, which is a metaphoric. It’s an entire lifestyle is this not enough to say this is a culture?

Izikhothane

Self-proclaimed money spenders, their lifestyle is built around the Pantsula culture and dancing, for house music. Their clothes are normally slim fit and vintage wear.

There are other subcultures worth noting.

Performing arts lifestyles

If these sub-cultures are thoroughly investigated you would find their languages are interconnected though not entirely but if all these people were to be put in the same room they would be able to communicate using their respective slang with no trouble at all.

• They stem from performing arts
• They have images
• Languages

A lot more similar attributes exist for example, one may dress like a sikhothane, live like a pantsula, and listen to hip hop.
