Week 7, Barker Chapter 13

Youth, Style, and Resistance. I think what was helpful in this chapter was understanding that Youth Culture resistance is taking place "inside the whale" or within capitalism and not outside of that arena. What seems to be happening is that instead of youth cultures out and out rejecting of capitalistic enterprises...MTV, coca-cola, Levis, playstation, have infiltrated youth culture.

In response, youth culture has used capitalism to support or resist these various enterprises and thereby used commerce to create their own set of signs, codes, identity.
