An illustrated guide to over five decades of youth movements --
from sharp-suited mods and acid-dropping hippies to leather-clad
metalheads and straight-edge hardcore punks -- "Street Culture"
pieces together a vibrant history of countercultural rebellion.
While the eye-catching attire and headline-grabbing antics of these
subcultures are familiar to many, few outsiders understand the
rhyme and reason that hold them together. Widely acclaimed for his
work on the underbelly of contemporary culture, author Gavin
Baddeley details the origins, ethos and aspirations of each group,
offering valuable insight into what attracts the devotees who are
willing to risk harassment and ridicule in order to stay true to
themselves.
"Street Culture" takes readers inside the minds behind the
elaborate hairstyles, and looks beyond the controversy and lurid
pop-culture mythology that surrounds each style tribe, celebrating
this phenomenon as an expression of individualism that goes far
beyond mere teen rebellion and vitally impacts upon the modern
world.
