Laurel Krueger · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

A microculture is a group of people with the same characteristics, rituals and slang. In Allen's case, he has an interest in eSports tournaments and always supports a particular team that is UniVi Gaming. Note that in this scenario nobody's age was mentioned, so we can conclude that age is not an important factor in influencing Allen to cheer for his favorite team.

Thus, we can conclude that in this scenario Allen's interest in eSports is an example of a microculture based on common interests. Allen is as interested in eSports as his team is.
