![]() ![]() ![]() In A Clockwork Orange (1962) Anthony Burgess isolates the tribal, antisocial elements of youth culture in a dystopian fable of violence as leisure. The most memorable fictional treatment of youth culture in the 1960s, however, puts a very different construction on the changing balance of power. The sense of a newly empowered sector of society is conveyed principally by the new spending power of young people, and the emergence of mainstream youth-related cultural forms, especially pop music, that quickly become significant components of the economy. For example, one of the key social changes of the 1960s is the emergence of 'youth culture'. This is certainly a simplification, but it does help pinpoint some of the more dramatic changes that may have been longer in the making. The decade in which post-war social change is felt to have been concentrated is the 1960s. ![]()
