The SuperCulrure of American Youth [ establised by the popularity of Elvis and James Dean Icons of the late 50s, along with the new markets established by the purchasing power of American teens 12 YO and up. ]now has an International rival [ though it has no competitive or negative intent ] in The Euro-Quest of Inter-European Youth 14 YO and up as a result of the creation of the central European currency of the Euro and its increasing dominance over the American Dollar.
So far this core of participants [ which are projected by European concert and festival promoters - from their market researchers - at about 12 million ] have established their own youth centered fashions norms [ which in an unusual swing now supports a vast array of vintage shops - meaning you must wear something ole / old for accenting to be in trendy ] - which are the recent promotion of various ' street fashions ' design promotionals - hype in the various media. There are a growing sociocultural core of DJs, various dance and concert bands, concert and festival promoters, low rate end accommodations providers, and Euro-Transit, along with increase purchases of hybrid autos who are all dependent on the purchasing power of this new International trendy youth.
The political power of this group has been seen in recent Athens demonstrations by youth who later discovered by nightlife venue owners were not in the main Greek, but were from all over Europe who were previously attending their clubs. These clubs are adjacent the main Athens airport along to the beach front. At times, especially at the open air bar - clubs the participants can reach 7, 000 roaming the streets, including Arab youth - born in Europe - fleeing Islamic restrictiveness, and in out lying Athens districts several camps have likewise appeared.
There are attempts to measure the overall economic impact of this trend. As a direct result, there, likewise, is an increasing core of European academics who now have a broad smile on their faces and have already claimed victory of European Youth Cultural lead over the American youth culture in their social study - economic lectures and classes [ especially in Berlin and Paris].
With the election of Obama here in America and in view of my generation passing, the next era could be the best era in the cause of the human struggle to find itself, especially the impact in which style will have a positive influence. For eventually both the ideals of American and European youth will merge in a common market awaiting the inclusion of Asian and African youth cultures as well. WOW!
I wish those who will take over in the next phase of the human historic development a very happy and fulfilled life.
Respectfully yours always.
Mr. Roger M. Christian
