Soundings a journal of politics and culture |
In the 1990s the myth of a golden age of youth has become
tarnished. The late 1980s marked the advent of a new, and significant, political
and cultural gap between generations which has continued to grow. Young
people use a different political language from their parents. Innovations
in music, computers and media, and the emergence of new issues such as environmentalism,
have all served to move young people away from the political culture of
the older generation. Young Britain explores the nature of these generational
differences as well as similarities and connections.
