As a subculture, Dick Hebdige (1999: 192) sees punk today as facing two forms of change:
Commodity form
In this respect, the attributes and all accessories used by the punk subculture have been used by the industry as merchandise distributed to consumers for profit. Punk attributes and accessories that were only used by punk kids as identity symbols can now be easily obtained in street shops that sell punk accessories and are consumed by the public. As stated by Fox-Genovese in Malcolm Barnard (1996: 187) "The adoption of punk style by High Street fashion shops is a painful irony". Goods that initially functioned as identities for punk children, have now turned into commodity goods that are used by the market for profit.
Ideological form
In terms of ideology, punk is an ideology that includes social and political aspects. Their ideology was often associated with deviant behavior committed by punk kids. Various punk behaviors that are considered deviant, have been documented in the mass media so that the punk identity behind the accessories attached to his body is seen as a dangerous and delinquent.
Punk as a subculture has formed a new cultural structure that is different from the mainstream culture adopted by young people since the beginning of its emergence in England until its development until now. Values that are the substance of punk as a subculture are still believed by its members. Although punk has changed generations, but as a subculture the values and existence of punk are still maintained today.

According to the Chicago School of Childhood explore youth deviations as a series of collective behaviors that are managed in and through the values of subcultural classes. Young people's behavior that disturbs the public interest is understood not as an individual pathology, or as a result of an undifferentiated youth, but as a collective practical solution to a class problem that appears structurally. Cultural studies theorists agree that young people should not be understood as homoigenous groups so that class differences and their articulation with mainstream cultural values and dominant cultural values can be understood. Subcultures are seen as magical or symbolic solutions to class structural problems. The Chicago School identifies that subculture reactions are born not as individual reaction phenomena but as group reactions to class problems. Rejection occurred in the working class against the middle class. In this distribution model, the state of social and economic well-being is considered to be very unfair. The group that feels disadvantaged, because the condition of the structure of Cipataan plays a very important role in causing this condition, trying with the existing limitations still wants to be able to enjoy life by redefining culture or becoming a subculture to feel more comfortable.
