This dissertation investigates the work of Engenheiros do Hawaii and the emergence of the generation of young people in the 1980s, leading to a discussion on rock and issues involving the young at this time. The research was developed from songs and analysis of the covers of the 18 official discs of the group, in which we can observe various themes, among them the youth and the city. The analysis is organized in three moments. In the first one, he recovers the trajectory of rock, its arrival in Brazil and the formation of the rock generation of the 1980s, as well as marketing issues, cultural circularity and social and political criticism in the songs of Engenheiros do Hawaii observing the tensions experienced in the country during this period. Thereafter, discussions about the cities and the youth are incorporated, bringing representations such as the flâneur, dândi, nihilism, existentialism, experiences of urban violence representations such as the flâneur, dândi, nihilism, existentialism, experiences of urban violence generating fear, insecurity, solitude and anguish. Including also the existential yearnings of the young, their discouragement and the issue of consumption, either alcohol or drugs, attempts to face pain and regrets, forget loves and void relationships. Other issues addressed are the concerns about the expansion of technology, its physical and social impacts, hopelessness in the face of wars and violence
Esta dissertação investiga a obra dos Engenheiros do Hawaii e o surgimento da geração de jovens nos anos 1980, realizando uma discussão sobre o rock e as questões que envolviam os jovens nesse momento. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir de canções e da análise das capas dos 18 discos oficiais do grupo, nas quais é possível observar diversas temáticas, entre elas a juventude e a cidade. A análise encontra-se organizada em três momentos. No primeiro, recupera a trajetória do rock, sua chegada ao Brasil e a formação da geração roqueira dos anos 1980, assim como as questões mercadológicas, circularidade cultural e a crítica social e política presente nas canções dos Engenheiros do Hawaii, observando tensões vivenciadas no país nesse período. Na sequência, incorporam-se as discussões acerca das cidades e da juventude, trazendo representações como o flâneur, dândi, niilismo, existencialismo, experiências de violência urbana, gerando medo, insegurança, solidão e angústia. Incluindo também os anseios existenciais dos jovens, seus desalentos e a questão do consumo do álcool e de drogas, as tentativas de enfrentar as dores e mágoas, esquecer amores e relações vazias. Outras questões abordadas são as inquietudes frente à expansão da tecnologia, seus impactos físicos e sociais, a desesperança frente às guerras e à violência

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Thomas Kaplan-Maxfield
Over the past few hundred years, classical music has developed its own society, which has become more and more separate from the day-to-day society that we all live in. This is a complex society, with its own rules, language, and a hierarchy of values that would seem silly in a more practical world. These different standards can often make classical music seem inapproachable to those outside of this world. In addition, the music itself can seem so foreign to those who are used to listening to popular music. Through these essays I will provide an explanation of conductors' and musicians' behavior, our attachment to our musical instruments, and how we can derive such passion and meaning from completely abstract music with no lyrics or explanation. In doing so, I hope to remove to some of the stereotypes, though only the false ones, and open up the doors to this world, so that more people can freely enter and exit

The aim of this study is to research and asess the audition techniques of youth orchestras globally. The researcher aims to provide more information regarding a very important tool in the education of young musicians from all walks of life. The researcher will make use of the opportunity to discuss important aspects regarding the audition procedures, which has to be examined closely in order to have well balanced youth orchestras. The researcher feels that it is imperative to also realise the important role that youth orchestras play in creating excellent professional orchestras. Furthermore, the researcher aims to create a model for audition procedures. The researcher will assess all information at her disposal in order to create a model that shee feels will ensure fair auditions. It must be emphasised that this is a proposed modrel only and it will not be implied that the model must be used in its entirety in order to create fair auditions. The researchers is fully aware of the fact that each orchestra has a unique set of circumstances which has to be taken into consideration when executing auditions.

Abstract:

This thesis is based on two years of participant observation in a municipal youth club in a Swedish city suburb. In focus is a group of 14-19 year old boys and their relations to peers and to the staff of the club. Rock music playing, the activity they engage in, is studied as a part of the youth club practice, and seen as a communicative process in which relations are lived out. Two approaches are identified; "to go for it" and "to have fun" both of which become important in the boys´ musical awareness, as well as their attitude to life. The youth club is seen as a place where a particular kind of democratic dilemma is grappled with. The club has the pedagogical aim of creating meaningful leisure time on the visitors tenns, but also of disciplining them and functioning as an instrument of guidance into adult life values. Questions of power-relations and institutionalization are discussed through notions of the dialectic of control (Giddens); of authority (Sennett), and of Goffman's analysis of life within public institutions. In this setting, the complexity of power and of growing up in modem society are studied. Both groups; the staff and the visitors, are seen as jointly shaping and recreating a communicative practice through interaction, with music playing as the medium through which relations are transformedand hierarchies seemingly overturned at the same time as social control is cemented and protest limited.

Full text

Abstract:

The marine environment has always been extremely important to the human inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands. Today, the ocean environment around Hawaiʻi is no less important, but it is far more threatened. Coastal and urban development, overfishing, introduction of alien species, and other commercial and recreational uses pose serious risks to coastal and marine ecosystems. There is a recognized need for greater public awareness and understanding of the importance of marine and coastal ecosystems. Involving children actively in the care and management of community resources is an essential factor for long-term societal change in environmental attitudes and behavior. Agencies and organizations in Hawaiʻi offer a wide range of marine education programs and materials aimed at children. However, there has been little assessment of their overall effectiveness, or analysis of factors that encourage or impede their success. The goal of this research was to begin to address this gap. The first stage of the research examined the perceptions and attitudes of Hawaiʻi resource managers and educators toward youth involvement in coastal and marine protection, and to answer the question "What is currently being done and by whom?" The second stage examined in detail three different programs that represent a range of approaches and age levels, and include two public charter schools (one elementary and one high school) and a nonprofit after-school program that drew youth from four area high schools. The case study research was conducted over the course of the 2001-2002 school year by means of observations, participant-observations, interviews, focus groups, and reviews of written and electronic media. The case studies were exploratory in nature and differed in their settings, age groups, administration, size, and focus. However, an analysis using the assessment rubric revealed broad patterns common to all three projects. This allowed the development of analytical generalizations that have both theoretical and practical implications for the future of similar programs, both in Hawaiʻi and elsewhere, and that help identify important questions for future research.

Full text

Abstract:

Lyrics of the newly emerged underground music provide us with a first hand account of youth life in the Islamic Republic; a lifestyle that shocks those who have not lived in contemporary Iran and a rhetoric that challenges what the international community believes. From singing about their nightlife and relationships to socio-economical and political issues, Iranian artists are using their music as a vehicle of self expression and resistance. Examination of the genres and lyrical content of both authorized and underground music in Iran shows that the Islamic government's policies and restrictions on music has not limited or prevented the growth of music. Musicians have been obliged to create Iranian music different from the pre-revolutionary music is terms of rhythm and content, resulting in the growth of Iranian music and emergence of different genres and lyrical content unique to post-revolution Islamic Iran.

McNelis, Timothy Robert. "Popular music, identity and musical agency in U.S. youth films." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2010. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/1491/.

Full text

Abstract:

Popular music is immensely important to the construction of identity and regulation of agency for teenagers in films and in the real world. Throughout this thesis, I shall argue that music, specifically pre-existing songs, constructs identity in a manner that is complex, fluid, and unfixed. This is especially true for teenagers, who are in such a transitional period of their lives. Film music draws on ideas circulating in popular culture to construct identity, and connotations connected with discourse around certain genres of music are of particular importance. Throughout three case study chapters, I shall discuss the cultural context of various songs and genres to suggest possible elements of identity that are available for perceivers to understand. I will be grouping films together in case study chapters based on three narrative threads: teenage girls who play guitars, white characters who use African American music to express identity and improve agency, and non-white characters whose ethnic identity is musically constructed in contradictory ways. Identity and agency are tightly entwined in filmic narratives, and music plays a key role in the construction of both. Musical agency is related to narrative agency, but it also involves characters’ access to musical performance, as well as their musical representation through source music, source score, and dramatic score. The characters with the most musical agency are those who use music to their own benefit or benefit from music in the soundtrack. Finally, I shall argue that musical agency is affected by a film’s internal contradictions – by which I mean the areas of tension between music, identity, and storyline. Characters tend to have the greatest musical agency in films where musical connotations align with other elements of character identity and the character’s treatment in the storyline. Thus, musical agency tends to be less when there are contradictions between characters’ musical performance, the music they listen to, music on the soundtrack (source music, source score, or dramatic score) that they do not choose, other elements of their identity, and their narrative behaviour unrelated to music.

Abstract:

This thesis argues that in North America since the late 1980s, young women's interest in feminism has been expressed through participation in feminist music subcultures. The project provides an overview of the studies of culture, musical subculture, and gender and music making, as well as an historical context of feminism and a discussion of the relationship between second and third wave feminism.
The first case study explores Riot Grrrl's roots in the DIY activism of DC hardcore punk, its links to the female-oriented indie music scene of Olympia, Washington, and the subculture's use of alternative media. The second study examines efforts to integrate queer politics into third wave feminism through lesbian punk rock music subculture. The final study of electronic feminist punk rock examines how young feminists use alternative media such as zines, internet message boards, web sites, music making, and performance to educate young women about sexual abuse and homophobia.
Analysis of the Riot Grrrl, lesbian punk rock, and electronic feminist punk rock subcultures demonstrates how young women claim spaces for their own feminist politics, even if they have gone relatively undetected by the mainstream culture.

Abstract:

The purpose of this project was to write a grant proposal to develop and secure funding for a music therapy program for transitional-aged youth (TAY), aged 15 to 18, who are struggling with mental health problems. The Boys & Girls Club of Long Beach (BGCLB) in California was selected as the host agency for this program. After reviewing the literature on music therapy and its positive benefits for youth with mental health issues, the grant writer designed a music therapy program, Melodies of Intervention. The purpose of the proposed program was to help these TAY improve their well-being and chances of success in life by improving their self-esteem, reducing their anxiety, and improving their attitudes toward and relationships with peers. This grant was written to the California Community Foundation (CCF). The actual submission or funding of this grant was not a requirement for the successful completion of the project.

Abstract:

The purpose of the project was to fund a radio station run by foster youth in Los Angeles County. This program will collaborate with other programs at Vista Del Mar and local service providers to support individuals with their needs. Vista Del Mar, the hosting agency of this project, is located in Los Angeles County, California.

After conducting a review of the literature, the grant writer designed a Creative Youth Development program providing creative media outlet of radio programming, engineering and broadcasting as a vocational and therapeutic environment to teach current foster youth fundamental independent-living skills and provide mental health services, which will allow these youths to be successful as they transition into adulthood. After researching funding sources, the W. M. Keck Foundation was determined to be the most applicable match.

Actual submission and funding of the grant were not required for the successful completion of this project.

Nemser, Ari. "Overnight Summer Music Camp and the Impact on its Youth: A Case Study." FIU Digital Commons, 2014. http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/1551.

Full text

Abstract:

This qualitative case study explores an overnight music camp, Camp Encore Coda. The purpose is to gain an understanding of the environment, uncovering the unique ways it impacts the social and musical developments of its participating youth while contrasting it to that of the traditional classroom. Framed by the concept of multidimensional growth, data were collected using surveys, interviews, focus group, and observations. The study uncovered exorbitant levels of social and musical growth among the youth; all directly linked to isolation from technology, communal living, and musical immersion in a community of practice. There lacks a significant amount of music education research attempting to explore and provide an initial evaluation of the learning opportunities unique to overnight music camps. This is particularly significant for music educators who strive to continue the advancement of the field through positive impact on students inside and outside of the school classroom.

Abstract:

This research study sought to examine if and how ten youth referred for being “at risk” at a high school in Johannesburg, South Africa could explore and express their autonomy through a music therapy process. Within this qualitative case study, video and focus group data were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s (2017) reflexive thematic analysis methods. Four themes emerged, namely adolescents’ formulation of their autonomy, navigating autonomy in context, opportunities to explore and express autonomy within the music therapy process specifically, and transfer and application into daily life. Autonomy was found to be both an individual pursuit and a relational process for these adolescents. Both of these aspects were explored in an integrated way through this group music therapy intervention. This indicated that music therapy is a useful approach for youth deemed to be “at risk” because the process can hold both the growth of an individual and their need for independence, whilst simultaneously offering belonging within a contained group process.

Wilkinson, Catherine. "Connecting communities through youth-led radio." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2015. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/2037460/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores the extent to which, and the ways in which, KCC Live, a volunteer youth-led community radio station situated in Knowsley, neighbouring Liverpool, UK, provides a space for young people to find and realise their voices. The body of geographical work on radio has predominantly focussed on large-scale geopolitical questions at the international scale. In particular, there has been a deficit of research considering community radio in the UK. Research from other countries is not easily transferable, due to the specific regulatory paradigms in different countries. This study takes a step towards remedying the neglect of community radio in geographical research in the UK. This research project adopts a participatory design in collaboration with young people at KCC Live. Mixed methods were employed, including: 18 months of observant participation; interviews and focus groups with volunteers; interviews with management at KCC Live and Knowsley Community College; a listener survey, listener diaries, and follow-up interviews. Accompanying this thesis are two co-produced audio artefacts: an audio documentary named ‘Community to me is…’, which explores young people’s musings on community, and a three-part radio series called ‘What we found’, which discusses the findings of this research in audio form. First, my research provides insight into a twofold vision of youth voice as both restricted and creative concurrently. This thesis shows that community radio is not a cure-all solution for disenfranchised and silenced young people, as young people at KCC Live work within a pre-censored idea of speech. Second, this thesis finds that young people conceptualise the KCC Live community in multiple ways. These include: friendships which constitute communities of choice; geographic communities within specific locales; the functioning of KCC Live as a community of practice; imagined communities of listeners; and virtual communities, formed through use of social media. This research therefore advances recent debates that shift notions of community away from static place-based understandings to more networked approaches. Third, this thesis demonstrates that young people are capable of learning skills, locating resources and building networks, thereby generating their own stocks of social capital. It therefore challenges the dominant perception within the literature of young people as receivers, rather than producers, of social capital.

Abstract:

My study seeks to fill a void in Cold War historiography by situating the emergence of 1950s youth culture in the context of containment culture, evaluating the form and extent of youth's cultural 'rebellion'. The pervasive cultural discourse of 'containment', which operated as both a foreign policy to restrict the Soviet Union's sphere of influence and a domestic policy to stifle political dissent, mandated that America propagate an image of social harmony and political plurality during the early years of the Cold War. Yet the emergence of a rebellious youth culture in the middle of the 1950s challenges the notion that America was a 'consensus society' and exposes the limitations and fissures of the white middle class hegemony that the containment narrative worked to legitimate. In examining the rise of rock n roll, the emergence of the drive-in theatre as a "teen space," and the significance of "style" to the galvanization of 1950s youth culture, this study examines the ways in which youth culture of the period variously negotiated, resisted, and accommodated containment culture.

Abstract:

This outcome study investigates whether music therapy can improve the emotional well-being of adolescents who are at risk of exclusion or underachievement. Specifically, it addresses music therapy’s impact on students’ self-esteem, anxiety, attitude towards learning, behaviour and relationships with peers. The setting for the research was a mainstream secondary school and its federated special school for students with emotional and behavioural difficulties. Over nineteen months, a mixed methods design was used to observe change in students before and after music therapy. One group received twenty, weekly, individual sessions, and the other formed a wait-list group for comparison and then received the same treatment. At four different times during the project quantitative data were collected from students, teaching staff and school records, and qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with the students before and after their period of intervention. The study found that music therapy made a positive difference. The high level of treatment adherence (95%) of all twenty-two students confirmed music therapy’s appeal to this client group. The majority of teachers (58%) reported improvement in students’ social development and attitude overall, and for some mainstream students (56%) recognition of self-concept increased. The conviction with which students conveyed their positive experiences of music therapy was striking. The study supports the author’s argument for therapeutic support to be made available at secondary schools and promotes a student-centred approach, as exemplified in the thesis. It concludes that music therapy can be effective for youth at risk but requires more participants in subsequent investigations for it to be proved statistically.

Abstract:

This research looks at the feasibility of using repatriation as a tool for the revitalisation of indigenous music within a contemporary South African musical context. Using tracks from the International Library of African Music (ILAM), this investigation presents isiXhosa traditional and indigenous music to a group of musicians from a hip-hop background that would never have had access to this type of music before. The thesis then traces their creative use of the music within their own genres. Speaking to the legacy of the Hugh Tracey collection at ILAM and criticisms that have surfaced, this research also attempts to validate the efforts made by Hugh Tracey in collecting and documenting African music. Themes ranging from understanding the term “tradition” are addressed, as well as other technical terms in the vernacular while also exploring and analysing the results of the repatriation project. Practical issues regarding the sampling of indigenous music were interrogated carefully due to the fact that the complexity of African music was foreign to most of the participants. Their familiarity with the music, or lack thereof, either motivated or ended the musicians’ participation in the research project. An in-depth analysis of the results of the musicians’ interaction with the music is presented where this study finds, at the heart of this research, that the musicians performed as agents who easily took to revitalising the music.

Abstract:

The context of this study is the National Youth Development Outreach Project (YDO) situated in Eersterust, Pretoria. This study is conducted within a qualitative research paradigm. The data comprises of sentence completion exercises designed to elicit information regarding at risk adolescents’ attitudes towards music. The data is coded, categorized and organized into themes. The themes highlight five different life aspects through which these at risk adolescents identify with music. The study revealed that music therapy is an effective and appropriate way to afford at risk adolescents access to these identified life aspects and is able to facilitate the addressing of various issues within these life aspects.

Abstract:

Over the past decade, popular music in Iran has steadily gained recognition beyond its borders. The Western media has increasingly provided an idealised and romanticised view of music-making in the Iranian underground. These reports create an image of popular musicians united under the same political and social challenges, while struggling to be heard against an oppressive regime. Contrary to these often overly politicised accounts, the current Iranian youth generation continues to explore its identity through the creation of new hybridised forms of popular music. This dissertation utilises first-hand accounts of musicians and those involved in Iranian popular music to analyse the current state of popular music in Iran since 1979. By recognising the heterogeneity of the Iranian post-revolutionary pop world, this study distinguishes the individual voices and experiences that make up the dynamic and multifaceted popular music scene in young, urban Iran and the Iranian diaspora. Opening with a historical account of music’s fluctuating relationship with regime censorship, this dissertation illuminates the many contradictions of popular music practice in a controlled climate that are also embedded within youth identity. Dichotomies continually emerge during this discourse, including globalisation vs. localism, authentic vs. borrowed, and home vs. homeland. These themes are prolific throughout the discussions of the illegal underground music scene in Tehran, the complexities of music in exile, and the final discussion of the role of popular music in the 2009 presidential election and subsequent Green Movement. Popular music continues to serve as an outlet for pleasure and entertainment while simultaneously representing the diverse voices of the young generation of Iranians in the world, as they seek to assert their identity and establish a future of their own.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to identify pieces by Twentieth-Century Latin-American composers suitable for performance by Youth Orchestras in the United States. Scores available at the Indiana University Latin-American Music Center were primarily used. This allowed a more comprehensive search while limiting the scope of the study.Orchestral pieces were selected and examined for the study in order to provide insight into particulars of their individual styles and offer them together with pertinent information on the various composers.FindingsThe study identified five Latin-American composers who have written pieces suitable for performance by youth orchestras. The advantages of including Latin-American music in the repertoire of youth orchestras was demonstrated. Social, cultural and political as well as musical reasons for this inclusion were stated.Characteristics of the music of those countries that make it very attractive to young players were taken into consideration in the study, as well as the influence that hispanic traditions have exerted upon the culture of the United States for more than two centuries.It was demonstrated that this cultural interaction, stronger in certain regions of the country, offers added justification for the inclusion of Latin-American repertoire.The analysis of the works selected demonstrated the availability of works of quality that are suitable for performance by youth orchestras, even though they may not have been originally conceived with that in mind.Ancillary identification of information The nature and the author's knowledge of States.Theto the findings listed above was the of substantial omissions in primary sources and reference works consulted for the study. location of these omissions helped to confirm contention that there is very little general art music of Latin-America in the United study also revealed the need for updating current sources of information in order to include more references. The necessary might be to Latin-American composers and their music. project revealed that adjustments in some institutions, both in the United States and the neighboring countries, in order to promote better the music of Latin-American composers in this country. Also, in some cases, the standards of publication and/or copying of materials in the country of origin needs to be upgraded.

Abstract:

This thesis concerns musical identities and how they affect health as young people make the transition to adulthood. The primary focus is on music listening, since this is widely reported to be a key feature of adolescents’ and young adults’ leisure time (Roe 1999; Tarrant, et al 2000). Previous studies have investigated the links between specific musical genres and problematic behaviour (Klein 1993), suicidal risk (Lacourse 2001), and emotional turmoil (Roberts 1998), however there is a lack of both longitudinal and qualitative evidence in support of these findings. A number of assumptions are made regarding ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ musical preferences although causal links between music and health are still not clear. Similarly, the extent to which musical behaviour is related to other demographic features (e.g. sex, social class, education) and whether this changes over the lifecourse have yet to be fully investigated. The principal aim of the thesis is therefore to identify how musical identities relate to health and wellbeing over the youth-adult transition. In order to meet this aim a number of objectives have been devised, these are; to trace the development of musical identities and investigate the structure of music preference; to highlight associations between musical identity and risky health behaviours; to study the relationship between musical identities and emotional wellbeing; and to address the significance of musical identities in transitions to adulthood. A dialectical methodology was adopted which synthesises quantitative and qualitative methods. The former involved statistical analysis of a large-scale longitudinal dataset (The West of Scotland Twenty-07 Study). The latter was a qualitative sub-study with 18 participants from the Twenty-07 Study, designed and analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Combining methods in this way allowed for philosophical pluralism in the methodological design, as well as for different aspects of the research aims to be addressed. Musical preferences were found to change over the youth-adult transition for most people, and this affected the links between musical identity and health. The overriding distinction was between participants who perceived a strong musical self-identity, and those who claimed a more limited identity. This was evidenced in both quantitative and qualitative findings. The former group were more likely to engage in risky health behaviours, but also indicated a more sophisticated use of music for therapeutic purposes. The latter group were less likely to engage in risky health behaviours, but did not tend to use music as a well-being resource like their strong-identifying peers. Strong musical identities are associated with higher levels of risky health behaviours, but this is also largely limited to a specific period of youth. Many practices associated with maintaining a strong musical identity in youth are limited by the onset of adult responsibilities, and structural identities. The emotional benefits associated with a strong musical identity, however, remain alongside adult identities. Ultimately, the associations between music listening and health are mostly influenced by strength of identity, and the current academic literature highlighting ‘problematic’ genres should be considered with this in mind. The implication of this work is that common sense assumptions about the corrosive nature of certain musical identities and youth cultures should be tempered by an acknowledgement that music tastes, associations, and identities are subject to change, often over very short periods of time.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the politics of popular music and youth culture in two geographically close but socioculturally distinct Indian Ocean islands: Réunion (a French overseas département) and Mauritius (independent from Britain since 1968). Neither island has an indigenous, pre-colonial population: the respective societies have thus formed through successive waves of immigration, including the importation of slaves and indentured workers from Madagascar, Africa, and Asia, resulting in extremely ethnically diverse populations, on both a communal and individual level. The island societies both began the twentieth century as sugar-producing plantation colonies, but by the beginning of the twenty-first century, their socioeconomic landscapes had been dramatically transformed: independent Mauritius was proclaimed as an ‘African tiger’ thanks to astute state management of limited resources, and Réunion became a French département d’outre-mer, with living standards now similar to those of metropolitan France. Although both island societies experienced dramatic and rapid transformation, however, modern-day Réunion and Mauritius have come to represent opposing postcolonial experiences. This has resulted in the adoption of opposing approaches to the question of ethnic and racial difference: whereas the Mauritian Constitution officially acknowledges the existence of ethnoreligious ‘communities’, ethnic difference is not officially recognised in Réunion due to colour-blind French Republican policy. The following analysis seeks to show that the study of contemporary popular culture can provide particular insights into the workings of these two creolised, postcolonial societies. Considered here principally through the lens of popular music and youth culture, it will be argued that contemporary Réunionese and Mauritian popular music and youth cultures engage with political and social issues specific to each context. This is discussed in Part II in relation to Kreol language politics, which shows that popular music can be said to work towards changing mentalities still influenced by colonial language prejudices; and in Part III as concerns popular culture’s engagement with discourses of inclusion and exclusion within the national community.

Abstract:

This paper concerns processes of youth identification and formation of lifestyles in relation to the recent British music genre 'dubstep'. The music style is viewed as a modern youth leisure practice which construct social meaning and belonging in an urban translocal environment. The research, based on analytical data and qualitative interviewing, has proven that modern youth lifestyles can not be analysed through the theoretical scope of subcultures, as these tend to be homogeneous and out dated. Therefore, a postmodern approach has opened up to possibilities to understand youth identification as fragmented and interrupted processes, influenced by a hybrid of transnational cultural meanings and spaces. The paper also discusses the role of media and the growth of consumerism in relation to youth identifications, and it suggests that the dubstep scene can be viewed as a respond to, and sometimes a borrowing of, the representation of the modern urban youth which can be found in newspapers, as well as fashion and music magazines. Furthermore, several postmodern youth studies has celebrated the rejection of old unequal categories of gender and class when analysing the way contemporary youth socialise and create belonging. However, my study questions this notion and claim that structural power relations still exist and to a certain extend determine lifestyles, behaviour and motivation among different youth.
