Workers form occupational subcultures and they are further divided according to ethnicity and neighbourhood. Unlike compositionalists the theorists of subculture maintain that number is important since increasing scale on the rural-to-urban continuum creates new sub-cultures, modifies existing ones and brings them into unique consequences including the production of deviance but not because it destroys social worlds but because it creates them. What was so far considered as deviance finds a voice (representation) in the metropolitan subcultural framework. For example, the gay rights movements have been staged in the metropolitan context.
