| Sumario: | The image of the aging rock-and-roller is not just Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger on stage in their sixties. In this book, a cultural sociologist explains how people move on from youth and effectively grow older with popular music. For many aging followers of rock, punk, and other contemporary popular genres, music is ingrained in their identities. Its meaning is highly personal and intertwined with the individual's biographical development. The author studies these fans and how they have changed over time - through fashions, hairstyles, body modification, career paths, political orientations, and perceptions of and by the next generation. |
