Abstract

Youth cultures and music connections have long since been studied from a ritual perspective. Drawing on extensive fieldwork on the Lisbon underground music scene in the 2000s, the author departures from metaphorical meaning to focus on the patterned practice and interaction settings of music making. Schemes to engage and sustain such a precarious aesthetic activity are defined as procrastination rites and discussed as a liminal cultural form in contemporary post-industrial societies.
