"Sub-culture" is the name of a single released in November 1985 by New Order.
It was the second and final single that also appeared on the group's album release of the same year, Low-Life. The mix (by John Robie) is different from the one that appears on the album. "Sub-culture" has only a regular black sleeve, as graphic designer Peter Saville reportedly deemed the mix of the song unworthy of his talents. The b-side is a remix titled "Dub-Vulture". "Sub-culture" also appears on the group's 1987 compilation, Substance.
In a rare reversal for most New Order tracks, the album edit is often preferred by fans over the 12" version, due to the addition of backing vocals and a protracted intro to the 12". This has to be compared to "The Perfect Kiss", where the 12" version is usually seen as by far the better edit.
