Teenage

Teenage serves as a foundational text for understanding the historical context of youth culture, a theme Jon Savage explores in greater depth and with more specific focus in his later work, particularly his acclaimed book England's Dreaming, which examines punk rock.

This book is notable for its extensive archival research and its argument that the concept of 'teenage' was not a sudden post-war phenomenon but rather a gradual development with roots stretching back to the late 19th century. It provides a comprehensive pre-history of youth culture.
