This book is the first in-depth, ethnographic study of the Dutch
punk scene. It questions the artificial boundaries of
subcultural research, calling for a critical analysis of the
distinctions drawn between subcultural and everyday lives,
and between localised and globalised subcultures. The
everyday experiences of punk are framed within the mobile and
connected global subculture of which they are a part. It
traces its emergence in the 1970s and its development
through to 2010, with chapters that map Dutch punk historically
and spatially. Further chapters explore the meanings and
practices attached to punk by its participants before
focusing in particular on the political affiliations of punks.
This book argues for an approach to social research that
recognises the ‘messiness’ and the ‘connectedness’ of punk
and of the social world.
