Subcultural phenomena continue to draw attention from many areas of
contemporary society, including the news media, the marketing and
fashion industries, concerned parents, religious, and other citizen
groups, as well as academia. Research into these phenomena has
spanned the humanities and social sciences, and the subcultural
theories that underlie this work are similarly interdisciplinary.
Subcultural Theory brings these diverse analytic issues together in
a single text, offering readers a concise discussion of the major
concepts and debates that have developed over more than eighty
years of subcultural research, including style, stratification,
resistance, identity, media and "post subcultures". The text
emphasizes methods, concepts, and analysis rather than mere
descriptions of individual subcultures, all the while ensuring
readers will gain insight into past and present youthful
subcultures, including mod, punk, hardcore, straightedge,
messenger, goth, riot grrrl, hip-hop, skinhead, and extreme metal,
among others. The book closes with an assessment of the subculture
concept as a viable and useful sociological tool in comparison with
other fields of study including social movements and fandom.
