My Thesis on my subculture

When considering skateboarding, it would be very easy to conform to the stereotypes that take over most people's views on skateboarding. There are usually more negative preconceptions about this particular genre. I have been working on my thesis but I have not yet crafted one that I believe is perfect. My thesis so far is the following: skateboarding is a subculture that has been condemned for its correlation with punk, grafitti, drug use and mayhem; the subculture is notorious for bringing together rebellious types of people but it tends to cast shared freedoms on its members that are rarely matched in traditional lifestyle.

My thesis surely needs some works and it is possibly a bit too long but as my paper develops, so will my thesis. I have many good ideas, I am just waiting for the right way to bring them all together into a sensible thesis and tie them into the purpose of my paper.
