Books by Steve Redhead

This is the definitive account of the shift in popular music and youth culture that took place in the 1980s. It draws on interviews with DJs, record company bosses, musicians, producers and fans to outline a transition in pop thinking from the obsession with style and packaging to content, socially conscious lyrics and a new authenticity. -- .

This book sets out a variety of reasons why we should move away from seeing the recent era as 'postmodern' and our culture as 'postmodernist' through a series of analyses of contemporary culture.

In this timely and important contribution to the field of popular cultural studies, Steve Redhead looks at the way youth culture is being reshaped by media culture in its various aspects at the end of the millennium.
