This study extensively addresses the phenomenon of hip-hop culture as the largest youth culture of modern times. Special attention is given to the situation in Germany and a pedagogical perspective, making the information relevant for working with hip-hop-affiliated youth groups in youth centers, holiday camps, neighborhood workshops, and youth events. To adequately address the topic and its scientific exploration, the core of hip-hop as a youth culture is approached step by step. Initially, the phenomena of "youth" and "culture" are examined historically and developmentally, as well as in their current forms. After merging these two concepts into "youth culture," a detailed overview of all youth cultural expressions in Germany is provided.
