Culture is the inspiration and guidance of the improvement of the society. But as the development of the development of the society and the updating of people's mind, a special and untraditional culture, which was called"the Subculture", separates from the mainstream culture as a new type of culture. Mostly the energetic and creative youths are the main body of Subculture. However, because of the flabbiness and less ability of controlling of the society, their resistances to the mainstream culture can only the ritualistic and imaginary.During the 60s to 70s in 20th century, young people tried hard to express their dissatisfaction and hatred of the society by means of haircutting, bizarre dress and drugs consuming. As the rapid development of scientific technology, internet is taking more and more important role in people, especially young people's world. The popularization of internet provides young people with a huge place to take out their dissatisfaction. Thus, internet KUSO is becoming the most important way for young people to resist mainstream culture and hegemony. Young people take the advantage of internet KUSO to say no to the rigid tradition and mainstream culture, which have never been attacked so heavily before. The internet KUSO comes from Youth Subculture and helps the Youth Subculture to grow stronger and stronger. They have deep intercourse with each other.This thesis tries to find out the relationship, influence and trends of Chinese Youth Subculture and internet KUSO on the basis of the analysis of both of them. Internet KUSO take a negative influence of Chinese young people, but it still has some advantages. Therefore, we should take the active and rational attitude on this cultural phenomenon.
