This book explores the trend of retro and nostalgia within
contemporary popular music culture. Using empirical evidence
obtained from a case study of fans' engagement with older music,
the book argues that retro culture is the result of an inseparable
mix of cultural and technological changes, namely, the rise of a
new generation and cultural mood along with the encouragement of
new technologies. Retro culture has become a hot topic in recent
years but this is the first time the subject has been explored from
an academic perspective and from the fans' perspective. As such,
this book promises to provide concrete answers about why retro
culture dominates in contemporary society. For the first time ever,
this book provides an empirically grounded theory of popular music,
retro culture and its intergenerational audience in the
twenty-first century. It will appeal to advanced students of
popular music studies, cultural studies, media studies, sociology
and music.
