    5.0 out of 5 stars a classic, July 28, 2001
    By A Customer
    This book is a must read for students of fashion, subculture, identity, and pop culture. Although the style of writing and some of the conclusions read as somewhat "old-fashioned", it was ground-breaking work at the time, one of the first serious scholarly treatments of youth and pop culture. More importantly, many of its arguments are still very relevant and need to be reconsidered in contemporary literature. The collection also discusses many styles which are all but forgotten to a younger audience and the variety British styles in the 60s is an education in itself for people who often think of past decades as having a particular "look". Excellent sociological analysis blended with ethnographic description.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Useful Resource, September 9, 2009
    By Phillip Zapkin (Burlington, VT) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This text is invaluable for anyone interested in British subcultures, or a solid introduction to subcultural theory. I would recommend it be read in conjunction with Dick Hebdige's Subculture: The Meaning of Style. Both books provides glimpses of subcultures and the social conditions that surrounded their formation and evolution, including social class issues, racial conflicts, drug use, and images of masculinity.
