It is not to be confused with the commercial narrative media-culture produced ''for'' children (e.g., Comics or Television ), although it may overlap mass-produced toys and clothing. Children's street culture is invented and largely sustained by children themselves, although it may come to incorporate fragments of media culture and toys in its activities. Although it varies from place to place, research shows it appears to share many commonalities across many cultures. It is a traditional phenomenon that has been closely investigated and documented during the 20th century by Anthropologist s and Folklorists such as Iona Opie ; Street Photographers such as Roger Mayne , Helen Levitt , David Trainer and Robert Doisneau ; urbanists such as Colin Ward and Robin Moore , and also described in countless novels of childhood. It has occasionally been central to feature films, such as Ealing 's '' Hue & Cry '' (1947). Since the widespread use of the Motor Car , children's street culture has often been forced to retreat to pavements and backstreets, and into parks and playgrounds. Since the advent of Television , Computer Games , increased academic pressures, and aggressive Marketing , along with parental fear of Pedophile s which leads them to forbid unsupervised outdoor play, concerns have been expressed about the vitality or even the survival of children's own street culture.
