the coriolis effect

"For most teenagers....leisure means...having a good time- physically, irresponsibly, spontaneously.

For these young people music itself neither satisfies needs nor symbolizes values, it is simply the noisy and buoyant context for all the other activities ."
- Simon Frith, Sociology of Rock
