Data for the field study was obtained from unstructured interviews with 35 members of the subculture and field notes on their activities, interactions, and physical appearance. Interview questions pertained to goals, school, family, political attitudes, subcultural style, music, and status. The results of this study show that age and generational effect of youth employment opportunities partially account for the evolution of this classless delinquent youth culture. In addition members of this subculture display attitudes of resistance to current cultural goals, school, and family which are gender related. Political attitudes as well as style reflect a libertarian outlook. Status is achieved through feeling of superiority towards others, selective initiation, member's support, and participation in violence. 11 notes and 106 references
