Through a glass darkly: How Goth reflected and reimagined the Sixties
When Goth emerged as a post-punk music genre and subcultural style in the late 1970s and early 1980s, its references to the past included nineteenth-century Gothic literature and classic Hollywood ‘monster movies’ such as 1931’s Dracula starring Bela Lugosi. Less discussed, however, is Goth’s inclusion of 1960s culture into its repertoire. While the 1960s are often synonymous with the Mod joys of ‘Swinging London’ and the cheerful flower power of…
From Girl Germs to Garage Shock: Charting Olympia and Bellingham, Washington's music scenes in the shadow of grunge, 1988–1994
Between the late 1980s and early 1990s, the rock music genre which became known as ‘grunge’ put Seattle, Washington in the cultural limelight. However, it had been since the late 1970s that independent music – much of it emanating from scenes in American ‘college towns’ – had been shaping the underground musical landscape of the United States. This meant that while Seattle captured the global imagination by 1991 with its hard-hitting punk-meets-m…

‘Become what you are’: Subcultural identity and ‘insider teaching’ in youth studies
This article responds to a trend of people pursuing academic careers after, or alongside, participation in popular music scenes and subcultures, applying scholarly perspectives on how identity can inform teaching and recognising the pedagogical benefits of teachers drawing on their multifaceted lives. The authors reflect critically on their pedagogical approach in teaching a youth studies sociology course and consider how their respective musical…
Women's History of the Beatles
A Women’s History of the Beatles is the first book to offer a detailed presentation of the band’s social and cultural impact as understood through the experiences and lives of women. Drawing on a mix of interviews, archival research, textual analysis, and autoethnography, this scholarly work depicts how the Beatles have profoundly shaped and enriched the lives of women, while also reexamining key, influential female figures within the group’s his…
Back to the future: Mapping a historic turn in youth studies
Traditionally, the study of youth culture has been dominated by contemporary, sociological accounts of young people's leisure pursuits and identity-laden social practices. However, in recent years, it has become evident that there is an emergent scholarly interest in examining youth culture history. While many historians and sociologists situate the birth of youth culture as a post-WWII phenomenon, this essay contends that scholars from varying d…
Making Space for Youth Culture History: Berlin’s Archiv der Jugendkulturen
Berlin’s Archiv der Jugendkulturen (Archive of Youth Cultures) was opened in 1998 to provide scholars, journalists, students, and other interested parties with a dedicated space to research youth culture topics. Founder and journalist Klaus Farin, frustrated with the often negative depictions of young people in the mainstream media, hoped the archive’s materials would act as a corrective to such stereotypes. However, the archive has come to mean …
Medusa’s on Sheffield, 1983–1992: Chicago’s Alternative All-Ages Nightclub in History and Memory
Medusa’s, Chicago’s most well-known all-ages nightclub, provides a vibrant case study of how music venues have played a vital role in the longstanding relationship between young people and popular music. The club’s unusual mix of music (from post-punk to house) drew unconventional teenagers to its doors every weekend. While popular memory of Chicago’s ’80s-era youth culture is often conflated with depictions in John Hughes films, which were shot …
Lost Histories of Youth Culture
From Beatles Fans to Beat Groups: A historiography of the 1960s all-girl rock band
While much is written about the cultural influence of the vocalist-driven girl groups and female singers of the early-to-mid-1960s, an air of mystery continues to shroud this era's all-girl rock bands—in the UK, US, and worldwide—that performed, recorded, and often wrote their own material. Influenced by the Beatles and the British beat boom that followed, these bands are an important missing link in rock music history, as they epitomize a less o…
