Once it was just Mods and Rockers or Hippies and Skinheads. Now we have Riot Grrls and Rappers; Modern Primitives and Metalheads; Goths, Clubcultures and Fetishists; Urban Tribes, New Age Travelers and Internet fan groups. It is - unsurprisingly - becoming increasingly difficult to pinpoint exactly what "subculture" actually means. The Post-Subcultures Reader is the first book to reconsider the use of this term. Is it possible to work within its existing limitations? Can we reformulate outdated notions of this expression to make it applicable to the twenty-first century? And to what extent

In 1972--a period of social upheaval much like today--sociologist Colin Campbell posited a _cultic milieu_: An underground region where true seekers test hidden, forgotten, and forbidden knowledge. Ideas and allegiances within the milieu change as individuals move between loosely organized groups, but the larger milieu persists in opposition to the dominant culture. Jeffrey Kaplan and Helene Loow find Campbell’s theory especially useful in coming to grips with the varied oppositional groups of today.

Readers will see how punk spread virally, through fan-created magazines, record labels, clubs, and radio stations, as we

Rave is one of the first distinct and significant youth subcultures to emerge since the early days of punk rockers and skinheads. A middle-class culture renowned for drug use, computer-generated "techno" music, and all-night dance parties, rave has been described as everything from a drug cult to a neo-hippie community. Brian Wilson uses his ethnographic research on rave during the mid and late 1990s to discuss the ways in which young people participate in social and cultural life at the turn of the millennium. "Fight, Flight, or Chill" explores the extent to which raver youths’ experien
