Abstract: | This paper uses 20 in-depth interviews with individuals who formerly identified as straightedge to explore a largely overlooked
but potentially important dimension of youth subcultures: life after subculture. Interviews illustrate the potential importance
of life after subculture for gaining a fuller understanding of subculture and indicate that residue from former subcultural
affiliation can be a marker of a group’s relative substance. Interviews additionally underscore problems with prevailing theoretical
models of subculture and support the claim that approaches to and conceptions of subculture should attend to phenomenological
levels of analysis and potentialities. |
