ABSTRACT
Street culture affects numerous swaths of people, but perhaps the most important populations are youth and young adults, and thus, they are the main focus of this discussion. Street culture includes such factors as demographics, economics, socialization, neighborhood norms, and the impact of political decisions. In order to determine if Baltimore has a unique urban street culture, the researcher examined numerous relevant elements produced for popular culture consumption that have a connection to Baltimore. Numerous conduits of popular culture exist. Although it would be helpful to examine how all of them enable the street culture of Baltimore, some are more permanent than others. In other words, social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat are important contributors to street culture, short of a full-scale content analysis of this activity over a significant period of time, including them in this analysis would be difficult.
