The end-of-the-century party: Youth, pop and the rise of Madchester

By Steve Redhead

This is the definitive account of the shift in popular music and youth culture that took place in the 1980s. It draws on interviews with DJs, record company bosses, musicians, producers and fans to outline a transition in pop thinking from the obsession with style and packaging to content, socially conscious lyrics and a new authenticity.
