      abstract = {The apocryphal story of punk and hardcore is narrated as a  history of young rebels united by shared interests, values  and a sense of equality. Through the example of the scene  of Buenos Aires, Ingo Rohrer demonstrates that this unity  is fragile and requires different practices of maintenance  to ensure the cohesive continuity of the community.  Friendship is the focus of these efforts, but at the same  time it is also a point of vulnerability where the group's  dissolution and disappointment about the scene germinates.  Ingo Rohrer examines how a local scene's quest for cohesion  is concurrent with tensions and contradictions. Beyond the  attention put on the friendship in the local scene, the  author asks what role friendships play in the local  lifeworld of neighborhoods and in the globalized punk and  hardcore scene. Based on rich empirical data, the author  suggests new perspectives on group processes and  local/transnational relations with relevance far beyond the  realm of these vibrant music scenes. Der Inhalt Punk and  Hardcore - an Introduction Anthropology and Youth  Theorizing Friendship Die Zielgruppen Scholars and students  of sociology, cultural studies and anthropology Fans of  hardcore and punk music, looking for an academic approach  to the scene.
