Description

This presentation aims to account for the changing class composition of members of the heavy metal subculture as the genre has globalized and developed stylistically. Blue collar values of inclusivity, heroic masculinity, and communal solidarity persist in a subculture that is increasingly defined by middle-class status; the presentation seeks to quantify and explain this shift.
