FORMATPaperback LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Presenting a new approach to the study of youth culture and popular music, "Beyond Subculture" re-examines the link between music and subcultures and asks the question; in an ageing world, can pop music still be an automatic metaphor for youth culture? Using case studies and first-hand interviews with consumer and producers including Noel Gallagher and Talvin Singh, Rupa Huq investigates a series of musically-centred global youth cultures including hip-hop, electronic dance music and bhangra. With 'Generation X' becoming an increasingly redundant term, this book will help students redefine their ideas of youth culture and will be an invaluable addition to their studies.

Long Description

In an aging world, is pop music any longer an automatic metaphor for youth culture? "Beyond Subculture" investigates a series of musically-centered global youth cultures, including hip-hop, electronic dance music, and bhangra. Based on first hand case-study material and interviews with consumers and producers, including Talvin Singh and Noel Gallagher, Rupa Huq re-examines the link between music and subcultures. As youth cultures become more diverse and the effects of globalization become stronger, the late twentieth century definition of "Generation X" is becoming redundant. "Beyond Subculture" suggests a new approach to the study of youth culture and popular music.
