Morphology
The meaning 'the way of life, values, interests, and behaviors shared by young people' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'youth' (young people) with 'culture' (shared ideas and customs), i.e. the culture of young people. This noun–noun compositional pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Youth culture comes from people noticing that youth (young people) often create their own music, clothes, slang, and ways of living, and these shared habits form a kind of culture inside the wider community. So 'youth culture' means the shared values, styles, and activities of young people.
