| Abstract | This chapter argues that the iPod and similar digital accoutrements of youth operate as a simulacrum of 'youth-ness'. Represented in the mass-communication networks of contemporary Western locales, 'youthness' maintains a set of specific thematic tropes repeated throughout the cultural network. Using the iPod as a symbolic representation of youthful 'hipness', ideas of youth-ness as commodified through mass communication networks are deconstructed. |
