This lively and entertaining revisionist history of rock music
after 1970 reconsiders the roles of two genres, heavy metal and
punk. Instead of considering metal and punk as aesthetically
opposed to each other, Steve Waksman breaks new ground by showing
that a profound connection exists between them. Metal and punk
enjoyed a charged, intimate relationship that informed both genres
in terms of sound, image, and discourse. "This Ain't the Summer of
Love "traces this connection back to the early 1970s, when metal
first asserted its identity and punk arose independently as an
ideal about what rock should be and could become, and upends
established interpretations of metal and punk and their place in
rock history.
