Points I was not aware of in the presentations:
Youth Subculture:
1) The values of a youth subculture: Attitude, conformity and rivalry
2) There are different views on what makes subcultures different from each other, e.g. CCCS believes they are all similar as they all follow a sense of rebellion from mainstream, but Grant McCracken believes that each subculture has its own beliefs and origins which cannot be generalized
3) There isn't a defined mainstream any more, there are too many subcultures and streams to name one as 'mainstream'
History of the Music Press:
1) In the mid-70s there was a split in the music press between 'Music Journalism' and 'Political Journalism' focusing on the politics and beliefs of artists
2)In the late 70s, style was more important than content in music magazines
3) Fanzines were first produced in the 80s, they looked very handmade but they inspired a great wave of interest in journalism, writing and drawing
