Grounded in the fields of Ethnomusicology, Anthropology, Popular
Music Studies, and Japanese Studies, this book explores the
underground Tokyo hardcore scene, ultimately asking what play as
resistance through performance of the scene tells us about Japanese
society in general. Matsue highlights the complicated positioning
of young adult Japanese in contemporary Japan as they negotiate
both increasing social demands and increasing problems in society
at large. Further drawing on theories of play, identity building,
and the construction of gender, all informed by the increasingly
influential field of Performance Studies, the book offers a highly
interdisciplinary look at the importance of musical scenes for
expressing resistance at the turn of the 21st century. Within the
underground Tokyo hardcore scene this resistance is expressed
through play with individual and collective identity, in intimate
and potentially illicit spaces, with an arguably challenging sound
and performance style.
