Description: Youth subculture in 20th Century Britain was a unique phenomenon. Throughout the decades, young people sought to define themselves, reflecting their identity in terms of regionalism, class and crucially, musical taste, through their clothes. This book is a comprehensive survey of over 50 underground 'tribes' that roamed the streets of the UK from the '60s to the '90s.
