228 is one of the most commonly seen logos on clothing. This icon flashes both on the street and on the Internet. And in most cases, teenagers. High school students, trying to concoct a brutal look, demonstrate T-shirts, baseball caps, hats, posing for a photo on the ava. These three digits are often heard from the loudspeakers of passing cars. You can also hear them if you inadvertently listen to those rhymes that rap lovers reproduce while sitting in your entryway.

I wonder?

No, well, in our time there were young people with 666 engraved on T-shirts. Weird, with long hair. But 228 is something new. And yes, they look unhe althy. Is it some kind of disease number? 228 what does it mean in general? - Approximately such comments are given by passers-by in various polls concerning youth problems. And no wonder. Until recently, the meaning of these mysterious numbers was unknown even to those over twenty. And this caused more and more interest in the mysterious number (everyone, except for the parents of the owners of this logo on their clothes).

As a result, they asked.

They asked and were amazed. Just rejoiced at the disappearanceemo subculture, how it was replaced by a new one! No less frightening.

First mentions

Everyone has probably ordered a cheap taxi or caught a falling apart ride at some time. If a miracle happened, and there was a radio tape recorder in this car, then a chanson, a tuber (usually from the 90s) or a monotonous chatter like “I looked at the sky. This one is above the ground, above my head. Beautiful! . By the way, this is also music. At least that's what many of our kids think. So, among this “creativity” there are such rhymes like “cigarettes - two two eight”, “for those who powder their nose, be afraid two two eight” and many more moments when this number is mentioned, and that it means.

"228-culture", whatever one may say, originates precisely from the texts of modern rap artists.

What is this?

Today, there are several meanings for the number 228. What does it mean, what is its origin, let's look at the most famous examples:

1) Intermediate natural number between 227 and 229.

2) 228 stands for "Incident 228", also known as the "228 Massacre". This event took place in Taiwan in 1947.

3) 228 is an article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, warning about what awaits those who will be involved in the storage, distribution, sale and transportation of drugs.

4) 228 - a symbol of those who are in the subject. I mean drug addicts, drug dealers, people in any way connected with this dirtydeed.

Well, we should highlight the fifth meaning, which appeared due to the efforts of individuals of school age:

5) A youth subculture that uses the code 228 for its designation. What does this number mean? Admiration for nightclubs, the use of hard / soft drugs, the rap art of famous drug addicts. This sign occurs in adolescents between the ages of 11 and 17.

If everything is clear in the first and fifth paragraphs, then the second, third and fourth should be considered in more detail. The second is for general development. The rest are for ripping the 228 logo off the offspring and throwing it into the oven.

Taiwan Incident

What does the number 228 mean to people in Taiwan? In 1945, Taiwan joined back to China, as before that it had been in the status of a Japanese colony for about fifty years. Naturally, at the end of the Second World War, China, taking advantage of the opportunity, returned its lands as one of the victorious countries. However, the people of Taiwan were not particularly happy about this, as they believed that the Chinese government was mired in bureaucracy, corruption, greed, etc.

Naturally, with such an attitude, trouble was inevitable. All dissatisfaction spilled out on one ordinary day, when the cigarette saleswoman grappled with the authorities. The incident escalated into a massacre, in which about thirty thousand civilians died. This was followed by a series of repressions, arrests, exiles and executions. What do the numbers 228 mean in this case? This is the date of the incident - February 28th(02.28).

Surely most of the schoolchildren wearing T-shirts and baseball caps with the sign 228 express their condolences to the brotherly people of Taiwan. And the whites of their eyes periodically turn red from the guys choking on this occasion of emotions and tears.

Powder your nose - be afraid of two-two-eight

Now let's move on to the Criminal Code of our country. What does article 228 mean? Consider.

Article 228 deals with the illegal nature of the storage, transportation, sale and manufacture of narcotic and psychotropic substances, and also includes the storage, transportation, sale of plants containing narcotic and psychotropic substances.

So, all of these actions entail a fine of forty thousand rubles, which must be paid within three months. Also, violation of the article is fraught with the appointment of corrective labor for a period of about two years. Or the guilty person is sent to public works lasting four hundred and eighty hours (of course, with a break). In addition, such punishments as "provisional" or "camps" for a period of three years are provided.

In larger amounts, the perpetrator faces a term with a sentence of three years. Plus a fine of half a million rubles.

In the case of especially large amounts, the term of imprisonment will be from ten to fifteen years. And the fine is already from one and a half million rubles and more.

In the event that the perpetrator turned himself in, handed over all the narcotic or psychotropic substances he had or reported on the places where they are stored, as well asindicated the person who has such substances, then he is considered innocent, a criminal case is not opened against him.

But if this repentance comes from a drug dealer, custodian, carrier during the investigation, seizure of narcotic or psychotropic substances from him, then this does not exempt him from criminal liability.

Large and extra large sizes of narcotic or psychotropic substances are established exclusively by the government of the Russian Federation.

If analogues of narcotic or psychotropic substances are found in the detainee, then this is equivalent to storage of the specified.

Those who are "in the know"

This already applies to the aforementioned custodians, distributors and drug dealers. It is not uncommon to find code 228 on their pages on social networks. What does this mean? In these circles, this is a kind of conventional sign. Now such individuals, freely trading on the streets, are extremely rare, for which many thanks to nationalists, athletes and simply connoisseurs of a he althy lifestyle. It was they who once “kicked the hat” to the activists of this culture.

However, every day there are merchants acting incognito. It is extremely difficult to catch them, as they have learned from the bitter experience of their injured colleagues, they observe all sorts of conspiracy measures.

The essence of their work is to offer goods via the Internet, receive funds to your electronic wallet and leave the sold (bookmark) in a certain place. After the merchant leaves him, hecommunicates this place to his customer.

Those who are "at school"

In general, if you found this symbolism in your child (especially if you yourself unknowingly acquired some thing with this symbolism for him), then this is not a reason to sound the alarm.

What does the 228 on your child's hat mean? Most likely, this is just an imitation of the majority and nothing more. However, sooner or later this may develop into a real "worship" of this idol. It's time to have a conversation about what is good and what is bad. The main thing is unobtrusively.

By the way, about DotA

Sounds off topic. But in fact, it was she who got into her networks much more schoolchildren than "spice" or "coke" (meaning drugs).

228 in real life has a very different character than what these numbers mean in a computer game. Here we are talking about the phenomenon of "Nigibator 228", which means in "DotA" hacking of the system, inherent in not very honest players.

Although if you look from the other side, that it is much more useful for a child to spend time on the street than to turn into a vegetable sitting at the monitor, then it will not be superfluous to throw the system unit out the window. Well, or defuse a whole clip of a traumatic pistol into it. Choose what works best for you.

Gone problem

Good, fashion comes and then changes. Those who yesterday wore tight jeans and dyed their hair, today pull iron in a rocking chair. This is to the fact that if your child is simply prone to join the mainstream, then there is onegood news - sports and a he althy lifestyle are in fashion today.
