- Double-weighted statement
- This book proposes an entirely new theory: that sonic subcultures can be decoded through secondary literary artefacts rather than music. It was the result of a sustained, 10 year process of research and writing. A PhD thesis at the University of Leeds, which took 7 years, was the starting point. It involved many hours of primary investigation, interviewing a series of renowned and sometimes reclusive fiction writers, including Irvine Welsh. Their insights were assessed against complex theory from thinkers such as Mikhail Bakhtin. It took three more years to convert the thesis into a monograph using approaches from cultural theory.
