Abstract

Internet subculture is a form of popular culture that is distinct from mainstream internet culture and embodies distinctive aesthetics and values. It is primarily characterized by circling stratification of subjects, ulgarization of contents, symbolization of forms, and utilitarianization of market. In the context of internet subculture, the spiritual life of contemporary college students presents a triple alienation pattern, namely, mental and emotional life, cultural and aesthetic life, and moral and faith life, which correspond to the perceptual level, rational level, and transcendental level, respectively. In order to cope with this problem, it is necessary to guide college students based on the practical process of spiritual life, to improve the "quality and efficiency" of spiritual production, to facilitate the "deep interaction" of spiritual communication, to achieve the "rational consciousness" of spiritual consumption, thus promoting the high-quality development of the spiritual life of contemporary students.
