The »Ultra« scene is regarded as the fastest growing youth-centered subculture in Germany – what characterizes it, and how can it be placed with respect to other subcultures? This book analyzes and scientifically questions the Ultra phenomenon in the context of subculture theory. Its focus lies on interdependencies with other subcultures such as hip-hop, punk, and graffiti. Interviews with scene members and qualified experts (among them Jan-Henrik Gruszecki, Sven Brux, James M. Dorsey and Kai Tippmann) complement the analyses of the respective subcultures and guarantee this volume's authenticity and close-up view.
