The paper discusses the so-called "post-Birmingham approaches" to analyzing the relationship between youth, music and style. Three especially pertinent theoretical approaches are presented: Sarah Thornton’s research based on the concept of "subcultural capital", the concept of "scene" developed by Keith Harris and Will Straw, and "neo-tribalism" borrowed from M. Maffesoli and applied to youth studies by Andy Bennett. All these concepts are based on a critique of subcultural theories conceived and elaborated at CCCS in Birmingham. The author stresses theoretical contributions of the new concepts and through critical insight argues that the notion of subculture is no longer capable of explaining contemporary social reality
