Seeking to understand youth culture through its visual and musical
expression, "In Garageland" presents a pioneering ethnographc study
of rock bands and their fans.
The authors explore the functions of rock playing within three
socially different peer groups, investigating how their activities
relate to the external demands and resources of a postmodern world.
Presented in the "dialogic" format--the authorial text juxtaposed
on the page with the remarks of those interviewed--the authors
analyze the objective, social, symbolic and subjective sources and
meanings of rock playing, relating these to theories on modernity,
social groups and the production and reception of cultural symbols.
Topics include class as well as sexual conflicts; mainstream and
deviant subcultures, and the complex social, psychological and
ethical relationships which exist within youth culture. "In
Garageland" develops the notion of youth culture research as a way
of mirroring our grown-up identities and of staking out the limits
of late modern culture in general.
