Summary/Abstract: This paper underlines the differences between the two notions: culture and subculture. It will be shown a brief overview of the meanings of the word 'subculture' from different sources. In this paper our aim is to emphasize some examples of ways how new spelling rules and newly created words which are used in ‘e-chatting’ by the Romanian youth. The youth from Romania tries to differentiate themselves from the adults, creating and using their own Romanian language.
