Description
Table of Contents
Google Preview: As a music scene, punk rock faces an unfortunate stereotype which often assumes an overwhelming presence of aggression and indifference. Using interviews and personal experience, Ellen M. Bernhard argues that contemporary punk scenes are more than just music and mohawks-they operate as sites of autonomous practice and networked communities where a tireless pursuit for social action is amplified by the platforms and forces that exist within the scene today. Contemporary Punk Rock Communities explores current trends within the punk rock community and concludes that today's scenes are spaces of autonomy and commitment where inclusiveness and diversity are prioritized. While self-sufficiency is preferred, scene-related practices are influenced and affected by the larger forces that exist within society today.; Chapter One: A Brief History of Contemporary Punk Rock and an Overview of the Theoretical Considerations on Subcultures Chapter Two: A Community of Punks Chapter Three: The Contemporary Punk Rock Identity: Early Introductions, Values, and a Dedication to the Scene Chapter Four: DIY and Its Role in Today's Scenes Chapter Five: Support Your Local Scene: Participatory Culture, Consumption Practices, and Navigating Involvement in the Scene Today Chapter Six: God Save the Scene: Concluding Thoughts and the Future of Contemporary Punk Scenes in America; Google Preview content
