Proceedings of the 17th Annual North American Conference of the International Business Schoo... Book

The first (and still only) book about punk subculture that moves beyond just analyzing band lyrics, and instead analyzing its cultural products, economics, and primary behaviors. Essentially examining what punks do and not just what punks say, which any participant in this subculture should realize can be very different. In a sense, it loses a little bit of the psychic sense of punk (alienation, personal charismas, gang mentalities, furious personal creativity and sacrifice) but its analysis of the social activity and production, and its attempt to impose objective/empirical research rules, was very thought-provoking.
