Description

<i>Electronic Dance Music: From Deviant Subculture to Culture Industry </i>explores the subculture&rsquo;s emergence as a deviant subculture. This text analyzes how industry professionals, fans, and public officials helped usher in a new age of EDM, arguing that while the defining features of the subculture made it attractive, they also laid the foundations for outsiders to commodify the movement as a culture industry. Conner and Dickens explore the concept of &ldquo;commodified resistance&rdquo; as the mechanism by which the movement&#39;s politically dissident features were removed and its place as a multi-billion-dollar industry made possible. Ultimately, this text advocates the continued utility of the culture industry thesis through an empirical analysis of the EDM subculture.<br><br>Check out an interview with the author on the New Books Network podcast here: https://newbooksnetwork.com/electronic-dance-music
