In our survey we tape recorded sociological interviews with 234 members of youth subcultures in Hungary. Further, we conducted participant observations. This is the first survey of the kind in Hungary. In this study we present findings concerning the familial, sociodemographical characteristics of the persons and also the data related to their course of life and their career in the subculture. We compare the drug-user youths in the subculture groups and the ones in the same groups who are not drug users. The differences are above all due to the course of life and the special features of their careers in the subculture. The findings allow the subculture drug scene in Hungary to be mapped and therefore made better known.
