"Music-and style-centred youth cultures are now a familiar aspect of everyday life in countries as far apart as Nepal and Jamaica, Hong Kong and Israel, Denmark and Australia. This text provides wide-ranging account of the relationship between popular music and youth culture within the context to debates about the spatial dimensions of identity.". "With its comprehensive coverage of youth and music studies and its important new insights, Popular Music and Youth Culture is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students in sociology, cultural studies, media studies and popular music studies."--BOOK JACKET.
