Although many observers still assume that rock 'n'roll is essentially a feature of youth culture, the author argues that it is a key feature of adult culture and a primary source of everyday meanings for the first generation raised on it. The concept of the existential self, which focuses on the situational and evolving aspects of individuality in a rapidly changing social world, informs several qualitative studies to produce the following ways to characterize personal rock 'n' roll experiences: the e-self, the self as lover, the self as parent, the self as believer, and the self as political actor
