At the surface, Dick Hebdige’s Style in Revolt: Revolting Style resembles an informative piece on punk culture. I believe that he wrote the article to take power away from the punk movement. However, he did it in a passive aggressive way. By writing in a passive aggressive way it goes against the punk scene because punks are resembled as openly opinionated. Hebdige does this by making his piece seem unbiased since it seems as though it is only for informational purposes. Hebdige wants to inform people because it causes the punk movement to lose power. The information given ruins the punk movement because he is giving form to, what should be, the formless and is quelling the fear that the punk movement needs.
