Abstract
This paper explores the emergence of freak culture within the present generation of middle class youth at this point in time, and some of the implications of the freak value system and life style for societal change. An empirical description of freak culture is presented, based on ethnographic and survey data. The content of freak culture is related to distinctive generation-based experiences of middle class youth born after World War II, the first middle class generation which consumed on the open market long before it earned or produced. Those who as students established their own residences discovered that they could be “real persons” independently of their families, while not having an occupational identity—a critical and novel discovery for middle class males. Isolated from previous generations and ghettoized, some middle class members of this generation undertook a self-transformation, and in the process formulated and lived out new conceptions of society (especially with respect to work, consumption, and achievement) which were consistent with their own distinctive experiences.
