Australian Hip Hop as a Subculture

Abstract

Hip hop can be regarded as a global youth subculture; however, academic writing about Australian hip hop makes little reference to subcultural theory. Mitchell suggests that postmodern discussions of 'subcultural capital' do not fully describe hip hop, and that despite being 'out of fashion', Birmingham school concepts such as 'bricolage' and 'homology' can be usefully applied in an examination of Australian hip hop. Using these concepts, Mitchell discusses 10 subcultural aspects of Australian hip hop and concludes that 'hip hop' exhibits many of the 'classic' features of a youth subculture.
