Sammanfattning: This is the first book to utilize performativity theory in relation to class and popular music. It is an original argument: claims that British popular music allows a space to perform classed identities outside of one's own direct experience. Three case studies trace the uses of class signification across folk rock, punk and indie rock. British popular music has had a major impact on popular music globally, so this book will appeal to scholars beyond the UK. It is a timely theoretical intervention, approaching class as a construction and arguing that it is essentially performative. Popular music studies is growing as a discipline.This new study of British popular music shows how it engages with class in mythical ways that allow audiences to perform class-based identities. Case studies on folk rock, punk and indie rock show how this performance works and explore the implications for listeners and audiences
