- Description
- What role does taste play in contemporary youth culture? How do young people reproduce, or alternatively, reject gender norms? Using research and the work of theorists such as Judith Butler and Pierre Bourdieu, the author argues that popular culture affects young people's experiences of masculinity and femininity and forces them to navigate a social minefield in which they are pressured to display tastes deemed appropriate for their gender.
