‘Speaking of Youth Culture’: A Critical Analysis of Contemporary Youth Cultural Practice
Youth Cultures Transitions and Generations, 2015Co-Authors: Andy BennettAbstract:For a number of years, theorists have suggested that the term ‘Youth Culture’ corresponds with particularized forms of Youth cultural practice clustered around the more spectacular manifestation of the consumption of music, style, and associated objects, images, and texts. However, such a focus serves to close off any discussion of ‘ordinary’ Youth, that is, those young people who are not obvious, card-carrying members of style-based Youth Cultures. With the increasing turn in academic research to issues of Youth leisure and lifestyle in more mundane contexts, combined with a growing body of work focusing on Youth’s online practices, questions now need to be asked about the value, and validity, of focusing on ‘Youth Culture’ as this term has hitherto been defined and applied in sociology, cultural/media studies, and other academic disciplines interested in the cultural practices of Youth. Aligned with this is the blurring now evident between Youth Culture as an age-specific practice and as a series of discourses through which individuals who are far beyond any categorization as ‘Youth’ based on age continue to invest in ‘Youth cultural’ identities. For example, many adults identify as punks, hard-core, or dance music fans, while simultaneously engaging with adult responsibilities and leading adult lives. This chapter will examine these and other challenges to our understanding of the term ‘Youth Culture’ and consider whether the latter continues to be a valid conceptual and analytical category.

researching Youth Culture and popular music a methodological critique
British Journal of Sociology, 2002Co-Authors: Andy BennettAbstract:In this article I argue the need for critical evaluation of qualitative research methodology in sociological studies of the relationship between Youth Culture and popular music. As the article illustrates, there is currently an absence of critical debate concerning methodological issues in this field of sociological research. In the first part of the article I begin to account for this absence by illustrating how early research on Youth and music rejected the need for empirical research, relying instead on theories and concepts drawn from cultural Marxism. The second part of the article illustrates how the legacy of this early body of work in Youth and music research manifests itself in current research which, although empirically grounded, is characterized by an almost total lack of engagement with methodological issues such as negotiating access to the field, management of field relations and ethical codes. Similarly problematic is the uncritical acceptance on the part of some researchers of their insider knowledge of particular Youth musics and scenes as a means of gathering empirical data. In the final part of the article I focus on the issue of insider knowledge and the need for critical evaluation of its use as a methodological tool in field-based Youth and music research.

attitudes of college music students towards noise in Youth Culture
Noise & Health, 2009Co-Authors: Kris Chesky, Marla Pair, Scott Lanford, Eri YoshimuraAbstract:The effectiveness of a hearing loss prevention program within a college may be dependent on attitudes among students majoring in music. The purpose of this study was to assess the attitudes of music majors toward noise and to compare them to students not majoring in music. Participants ( N = 467) filled out a questionnaire designed to assess attitudes toward noise in Youth Culture and attitudes toward influencing their sound environment. Results showed that students majoring in music have a healthier attitude toward sound compared to students not majoring in music. Findings also showed that music majors are more aware and attentive to noise in general, likely to perceive sound that may be risky to hearing as something negative, and are more likely to carry out behaviors to decrease personal exposure to loud sounds. Due to these differences, music majors may be more likely than other students to respond to and benefit from a hearing loss prevention program.

Youth Culture, media and sexuality: what could faith communities contribute?
HTS Teologiese Studies Theological Studies, 2012Co-Authors: Anita Louisa CloeteAbstract:This article provided an overview of Youth Culture and how the media shapes Youth Culture today. Its specific aim was to focus on the access to sexual content that the different forms of media provide and the possible effect that they have on Youth Culture today. The sexual development of teenagers is one of the most important areas of their journey into adulthood and can easily be influenced by media messages on sex and sexuality. As such, the sexual behaviour of teenagers mostly seems to demonstrate a misconception on sex and sexuality. The author argued that sex and sexuality can also be viewed as theological issues and concluded by offering a few suggestions on how faith communities can become a more relevant and effective partner in fostering a theological understanding of sex and sexuality, especially to the Youth.

telling tales in school Youth Culture and conflict narratives
Law & Society Review, 2000Co-Authors: Calvin Morrill, Christine Yalda, Madelaine Adelman, Michael Musheno, Cindy BejaranoAbstract:This study departs from mainstream criminology to approach Youth conflict and violence from a Youth-centered perspective drawn from cultural studies of young people and sociolegal research. To access Youth orientations, we analyze experiential stories of peer conflict written by students at a multiethnic, low-income high school situated in an urban core of the western United States. We argue that Youth narratives of conflict offer glimpses into how young people make sense of conflict in their everyday lives, as well as insights as to how the images and decisional bases embedded in their storytelling connect to adult-centered discourses found in popular media and formal education. Our analyses identify a range of story types (tales), each marked by a different narrative style, that students fashion as they write about peer conflict: action tales, moral tales, expressive tales, and rational tales. In our study, students wrote a majority of stories in the action-tale narrative style. We propose three alternative explanations for this pattern using class code, moral development, and institutional resistance perspectives. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and policy implications of our work and raise questions for future research
