From the Back Cover
Youth music is the most creative and contested location on the cultural landscape. It is a vehicle for generational moods and aspirations, a public refuge for fantasies outlawed in daily life, a testing ground for technical ingenuity, an enormously profitable commercial channel for main stream narratives of thought and behavior, and one of the corporate state's main theaters for national moral panic.
