Abstract
In this paper the authors explore the phenomena of positive attitudes towards negative affect among young adolescent as reflected in the appearance and behaviours of ‘radical peer crowds’, such as Punks, Goths and Emos. The authors consider the significance of this in relation to the history of melancholy and theories of identity formation. Copyright © 2013 EDRES/ENSEC.
