`Drawing on ambitious ethnographic research with over 100 British youth, Victoria Cann explores how taste articulation functions to regulate and reproduce gender norms within teenage culture in the UK. Through her astute analysis of gendered tastes from football to One Direction and gendered practices from shunning to fangirling, Cann guides the reader through the halls of the contemporary high school, interrogating the relationship between gender, youth, and cultural tastes that play out there. Indeed, Girls Like This, Boys Like That reminds us that youth taste matters, and that we should be paying more attention'. - Jessalynn Keller, Assistant Professor, Department of Communication, Media and Film, University of Calgary
