Exploring the resurgence of anarchist sensibilities, the book delves into the history of US punk, hardcore, queercore, and riot grrrl movements, highlighting their role in contesting financialized capitalism. Johanna Isaacson introduces the concept of expressive negation, which captures the desire for change while acknowledging the complexities of contemporary politics. Through personal experiences and interviews, she examines the spatial, ludic, and sexual dynamics within these subcultures, ultimately crafting a new narrative of underground utopian politics.
