Growing Up Punk: Commitment Careers in a Contemporary Youth Culture

A 27 year-old graduate student named Lester says, "It was all about people that didn't have jobs; no prospects in life. Or they did have opportunities but they could see that careers and all that middle class stuff was bullshit. But it seemed like around my second year of college, there were all these little kids around fifteen and sixteen years old that were getting into punk because they were rebelling against their parents and not because they wanted to change anything. It was better in the beginning." It seems as if the idea of "selling out" or "poseurs" is popular throughout all music scenes--as certain types of musical youth movements gain popularity, the ideals shift and the foundations are changed and redefined bye each person. Is there any youth culture that you can think of that didn't change with popularity? Is there a community that doesn't have an a stigma towards "poseurs" or "sell-outs?"
