Abstract :This article explores the phenomenon of so-called “Čefur” subculture in Slovenia. Čefur subculture is formed by mostly second-generation descendants of immigrants who moved to Slovenia from the other former Yugoslavian republics. In this, we can find associations with other subcultures whose members are later generations of immigrant parents such as German Turks. Some of these descendants are going through an identity crisis which is one of the driving forces that contributed to the formation of this subculture. To better understand the emergence of Čefur subculture and its specifications, we must know the historical, cultural and socio-economical background of the area, as well as psychology of immigration and second generation youth. This is what this article aims to display. It will answer the question of what is the “Čefur” phenomenon, and how it came to exist.
Keywords : Balkan subculture, Čefur, Slovenia, Yugoslavia, Immigration
