sociologist of the postmodern age. The authors trace the important
contributions that Simmel's writings can make to current studies of
intellectual ethics, textual methodology, sociological theory,
philosophy of history and cultural theory

Few forms of music elicit such strong reactions as does heavy
metal. Embraced by millions of fans, it has also attracted a chorus
of critics, who have denounced it as a corrupter of youth--even
blamed it for tragedies like the murders at Columbine. Deena
Weinstein argues that these fears stem from a deep misunderstanding
of the energetic, rebellious culture of metal, which she analyzes,
explains, and defends. She interprets all aspects of the metal
world--the music and its makers, its fans, its dress code, its
lyrics--and in the process unravels the myths, misconceptions, and
truths about an irreverent subculture that has endured and evolved
for twenty years.
