In a fragmentation and large-scale social crisis context, this volume takes up the debate between punk and metal and class belonging, showing us the interrelations between practices and their determination by social belongings. A vital feature of the book is the demonstration of the self-renewal of punk and metal. The irreverence, resistance, and personification of subaltern and paradoxical identities portrayed here represent a step forward Paula Guerra, KISMIF Co-Convenor, University of Porto, Portugal
Early analysts of both punk and metal have shown their continuing popularity for segments of the public who were often considered in the 1970s and 1980s as losers of globalization despite the level of fragmentation of these scenes, the diversity of their audiences backgrounds, and their constant evolution and re-invention. This volume aims to stimulate and contribute to debates on the social class and economic and cultural change, through both international contemporary and historical approaches, mainly focused on Britain and France.

This is a sound contribution to the study of popular music, and it will soon find its place in the bibliographies of numerous books and articles in that field. The variety of approaches (from sociology to cultural studies) and the diverse contexts present in this collection (from Northern Ireland to Australia) will no doubt make this volume indispensable to numerous scholars working in various fields.
