Summary
"This study explores garage rock as it evolved alongside mainstream music and examines how it reflects notions of self in prosperous postmodern times. With Detroit as the focus, the author examines how it reflects notions of self in prosperous postmodern times. With Detroit as the focus, the author examines the creation of the garage rock scene, the importance of relationships to the past and of dress and general appearance of the performers. He also analyzes the alliances and relationships to society that undergird contemporary garage rock and situate the music within postmodern society."--BOOK JACKET.
