Driven by their thirst for art and music, and their environment, young people combine their inspirations with the innate desire to rebel, resulting in a defiant subculture; and mainstream society runs to catch up, to co-opt it, and drag it to the mainstream. Lindy Hoppers of the 1930s, greasers of the 1950s, Rude Boys of the 1960s, glam rockers of the 1970s, club kids of the 1980s: there are countless subculture styles that were born from resisting authority.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCOOL: Style, Sound, and Subversion\u003c\/i\u003e is equal parts historical chronicle and handbook of the myriad subcultures—most unknown to mainstream culture—that have influenced style. Authors Greg Foley and Andrew Luecke have compiled a comprehensive list of subcultures that have evolved over more than one hundred years, taking a look at the fashion, the art, the films, the books, the music, and historical context of these style movements, many of which came to influence conventional culture and eventually became a norm. Lavish with original illustrations, \u003ci\u003eCOOL\u003c\/i\u003e references a wealth of ephemera—including a timeline, zeitgeist films, ’zines, secret music scenes, art collectives, and over one hundred music playlists tied to specific subcultures through the years—to give the reader a thoroughly vibrant picture of each movement and their sub-movements. \u003ci\u003eCOOL: Style, Sound, and Subversion\u003c\/i\u003e is sure to appeal to fashionistas, culture mavens, and pop culture fans alike.\"Worth a look for the illustrations and playlists of influential songs alone.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eLe Miami Blog : The Shift\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A thorough, global taxonomy to the style subcultures that have gone against the grain over the past century: from flappers to riot grrrls to Harajuku to oogles.”\u003cbr\u003e —\u003ci\u003eVogue \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Required reading . . .
