Article Abstract:

Youth activism, in the 1990s, seemed to have moved away from being politically orientated as the marches against unemployment and in support of the miners, in the 1980s. Groups of activists, in the 1990s, are dispersed which often makes them difficult to study. Despite many of the groups having access to technology. The young activists are environmentally aware and object to anything which prevents them leading their own way of life. Their type of activism is known as the DiY culture. They are much more interested in taking action rather than demonstrating.
