Boys and girls came out to play

Article Abstract:

It is widely believed that youth culture was created in the mid-1950s with James Dean in 'Rebel Without a Cause' and Elvis Presley's first hits. In fact, the first portrayal of teenage rebellion was the character of Holden Caulfield in J.D. Salinger's 'Catcher in the Rye,' which was published in serial form between 1945 and 1946. Caulfield is the first teenage witness of the Atomic Age, moving towards adulthood in a critical period. He emerges as a teenager at at time when one era is coming to an end and another is beginning.

Protests from the edge

Article Abstract:

Someone who is perceived as an intellectual can find it hard to gain acceptance in pop culture, according to writer Jon Savage, who first came to public attention in 1991 with the publication of 'England's Dreaming,' a biography of the Sex Pistols. However, he has since then written on music and style in a number of different specialist and general publications. He is shortly to publish 'Time Travel,' his collected essays and journalism for the period 1977-1996.

Great idea. Let's run with it

Article Abstract:

The most successful television advertisements are now those which are based on direct references to films, pop songs or other advertisements. Advertising now focuses on bringing together and reusing elements of contemporary culture, rather than on simply portraying the virtues of a particular product. Viewers are intended to recognise the source material of the advertisement, thus giving the advertised product greater meaning and glamour.
