About 1/3 of the whole youth number of young people in our country study at the system of professional education. The world accent is based upon working profession popularizing in the frame of the project: “World Skills: Russia”. In this case the problem of the entity of the young generation, its spot in the society, its values and morality is set. According to the performed investigation, the representatives of such subcultures as Goths, rappers, punks, emos and hippies have determined to study at the SPEI “ZabMC named after M.I. Agoshkov”. The investigation, having been performed in the field of the panel discussion, communication studies, activity of the discussion club: “Not All Will Be Taken to the Future…”, has proved the representatives of the non-formal tendencies to form about 1/5 of the general contingent, which in the average constituted 300 persons, including 40 Goths, 30 rappers, 30 punks, 50 emos, 50 hippies. According to the performed work, it has been concluded that a range of distinctive cultural factors in the youth subcultures, in addition to the traditional ones (appearance and tastes), may include: moral-ethical, existential and communicative aspects. Speaking of the Goths, one should pinpoint that they regard life as the stage of the personal formation, demonstrating the active life position and purposefulness, they are clearly well-bred, observe the norms of public behaviour, being predominantly introvert in communication, being partially included into the social system in case of personal concern. Rappers radiate love for life and compose “tracks”, in which they speak about their thoughts and sensations. The style of their clothes is frequently free. The mentality is deep. The moral nucleus sets for the idea of independence and determination of personal vital significance, ease and emotional distance are expressed in communication. Punks claim of being called latent, in this case only the simplified mentality and emotional emancipation are traced, they are more concentrated upon their emotions in communication, the needs of the associates are of little or no importance for them. Emos are being easily discovered due to the black-pink gamma in their clothes and accessories, they are similar to Goths with their depressive-careless attitude to the associates. Their moral nucleus is not damaged, but there is some presence to incontinence and aggression. Hippies should be accounted for being the most favourable subculture in the social-cultural reference. Gaining positive emotions from the Sun energy, they spread them on the world perception and on the friendly attitude to the associates. Their world is full of beauty and discoveries. Hence, the basic task of the investigation has been set in the analysis of the cultural type of the students, which has been realized fully and completely.
