Subcultural theory talks about how acts that having been being committed of many years previously are suddenly being reported as if this is the first time culture is seeing this issue (Young, and Cohen, 2008. p. 7). Now of all of a sudden the act that has been going on for a while is now seen as very harmful to everyone and deviant because the new companies reported it that way. Some examples that are used frequently are when news stations report and use clickbait headlines, like crime is at an all time high in order to try to put labels on certain activities, people, and cultures.

Moral panics have helped contribute to the cultural wars in society, because of the influential power that the news companies have over its viewers. When the same narrative of stories are being published like how crimes committed by african and americans and hispanics in the United States are always major headlines in the news. Eventually some of the viewers will start to label and stereotype all african americans and hispanics as violent and dangerous people, which will lead to tensions in the
