Beyond Subculture

<p>Presenting a new approach to the study of youth culture and popular music <em>Beyond Subculture</em> re-examines the link between music and subcultures and asks the question; in an ageing world can pop music still be an automatic metaphor for youth culture? </p><p>Using case studies and first-hand interviews with consumer and producers including Noel Gallagher and Talvin Singh Rupa Huq investigates a series of musically-centred global youth cultures including hip-hop electronic dance music and bhangra.</p><p>With ‘Generation X’ becoming an increasingly redundant term this book will help students redefine their ideas of youth culture and will be an invaluable addition to their studies.</p>
