Subculture: The Meaning of Style is a 1979 cultural studies book by Dick Hebdige. It was one of the first books dealing with punk to offer intellectual content, referencing Althusser, Gramsci, Barthes and semiotics. Hebdige is concerned with the UK's postwar, music-centred, white working class subcultures, from teddy boys to mods and rockers to skinheads and punks.
