Renegades: Digital Dance Cultures from Dubsmash to TikTok explores
how hip hop culture - principally music and dance - is used to
construct and perform identity and maintain a growing urban youth
subculture. This community finds its home on Dubsmash, a social
media app that lets users record short dance challenge videos
before cross-sharing them on different social media apps such as
Instagram and Snapchat. Author Trevor Boffone interrogates the
roles that Dubsmash, social media, and hip hop music and dance play
in youth identity formation in the United States. These so-called
Dubsmashers privilege their cultural and individual identities
through the use of performance strategies that reinforce notions of
community and social media interconnectedness in the digital age.
These young people create a sense of identity and community that
informs and is informed by hip hop culture. As such, the book
argues that Dubsmash serves as a fundamental space to fashion
contemporary youth identity. To do this, the book re-appropriates
the term "Renegade" to explain the nuanced ways that Dubsmashers
take up visual and sonic space on social media apps to self-fashion
identity, form supportive digital communities, and exert agency to
take up space that is often denied to them in other facets of their
lives.
