“…It is an excellent metaphor that summarizes the internal struggles of his life and his constant battle against a contradictory and dismal world. Quadrophenia marks a milestone in the rise of an urban subculture, and it has served as “a catalyst for subsequent generations to revisit and revive Mod styles and customs” (Glynn 129).…”

“…The earliest sustained narrative about youth subcultures is Bronco Bullfrog (1969). Like the films discussed in this article, it employs a New Wave aesthetic (Glynn, 2014).

Film scholars have argued that the British social realist films of the late 1950s and early 1960s reflect the concerns articulated by British cultural studies during the same period. This article looks at how the social realist films of the 1970s and early 1980s similarly reflect the concerns of British cultural studies scholarship produced by the University of Birmingham’s Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies during the 1970s. It argues that the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies’ approach to stylised working-class youth subcultures is echoed in the portrayal of youth subcultures in the social realist films Pressure (1976), Bloody Kids (1979), Babylon (1980) and Made in Britain (1982). This article explores the ways in which these films show us both the strengths and weaknesses of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies’ work on subcultures.
