Ventsel provides a functional overview for those who do not know much about punk (music) or the (life-)style quoting the varied studies on the subculture...[His] profound exploration of a specific scene of grown-up punks and their life plans is an asset. He offers a detailed description of the microcosm that is GiG with its protagonists, their families, housing situations, and their jobs-mainly in construction or service industries, or off the grid altogether. He embeds his observations in a broader context of location, 'Ostpunk' identity, and gender roles. These insights are only sharpened given the harsh contrast to the bourgeois mainstream. * German Studies Review [This book] is really interesting, provides fascinating insights and presents questions for the scholarship and future study. * Matthew Worley, University of Reading
