The construction of youth identity through music
Abstract
The paper shows the basic guidelines of a research which tries to analyse the complex relationship between popular music and youth culture. Music appears as a social construction. The growth of a huge youth music market relies in the articulation of economic and social factors (post-industrial economy, affluence, post-war consensus...) with ideological factors (a new hedonistic spirit). In that sense, youth people construct their identity using the youth market commodities and sometimes produce new cultural styles using the same products. This dynamic could be described by the paradigmatic example of youth subcultures. Finally, the paper suggests some future research orientations.Downloads
