Product Description

Product Description

'Hebdige's Subculture: The Meaning of Style is so important: complex and remarkably lucid, it's the first book dealing with punk to offer intellectual content. Hebdige [...] is concerned with the UK's postwar, music-centred, white working-class subcultures, from teddy boys to mods and rockers to skinheads and punks.' - Rolling Stone

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant case study of subcultures., 13 April 2000
By A Customer
I used this book this book extensively throughout writing my dissertation and without it I don't know where I would have been. It raised many important issues about various subcultures and Hebidge's arguments are always strong and well constructed. For anyone interested in subcultures and popular music this book is must.

1.0 out of 5 stars top marks for theory, no marks for reality, 12 May 2002
By A Customer
This is a sociological 'classic', but one well past its sell by date. Time to consign it to the dustbin of outdated academic books. Very clever on cultural theory, but it has little relevance to real life as actually lived by real people. How can the author claim anything about the meaning of style without ever talking to an acutal punk?
