"Drawing on first hand case studies and interviews with musicians and producers, including Talvin Singh and Noel Gallagher, Rupa Huq re-examines the link between music and subcultures. As youth culture becomes more diverse and the effects of globalisation become stronger, the late twentieth-century definition of 'Generation X' is becoming redundant."--BOOK JACKET.
