Sommario/riassunto |
|
Geek Rock: An Exploration of Music and Subculture examines the relationship between geek culture and popular music, tracing a history from the late 1960s to the present day. This collection of essays explores the evolution of "geek rock" from songs about cars and girls to monster movies, outer space, and what it means to be "white and nerdy." |
