What happens to punks; clubbers; goths; riot grrls; soulies; break-dancers and queer scene participants as they become older? For decades; research on spectacular youth cultures has understood such groups as adolescent phenomena and assumed that involvement ceases with the onset of adulthood. In an age of increasingly complex life trajectories; Ageing and Youth Cultures is the first anthology to challenge such thinking by examining the lives of those who continue to participate into adulthood and middle-age. Showcasing a range of original research case studies from across the globe; the chapters explore how participants reconcile their continuing involvement with ageing bodies; older identities and adult responsibilities. Breaking new ground and establishing a new field of study; the book will be essential reading for students and scholars researching or studying questions of youth; fashion; popular music and identity across a wide range of disciplines.

Love this funky book!By Minnesota readerI LOVE this book. While *I* wouldnt necessarily wear all of the projects in this book; I love them because they more closely fit my ideas for recycled clothing; than almost all of the other books of this genre that Ive seen. I adore the authors funky attitudes and approaches to style; and the encouragement and tips. I havent sewn much in many years; but am trying to improve my skills; and have a blast at the same time. My favorite project is the combo white shirt-denim puffy sleeves selection (so cute; I want to make a bunch).
