The notion of punk and post-punk as (a) revolutionary postmodern social movement(s)-- supported by Curry Mallott and Milagros PeΓ±a, among others--provides a template for understanding the negotiatory tactics employed by adherents to punk ethos. This thesis, then, will explore one of those tactics--the attempt to synthesize ostensibly Hindu elements and punk identity/ies--along the way illustrating punk/alternative subcultural modalities--practical and ideological--which have coalesced in such ways as to dovetail with existing, negotiated, or perceived Hindu religious worldviews. In so doing, this thesis will further support extant theories regarding postmodern approaches to religion via illustration of (re)negotiation of identity via religious tropes, and expose the practices and ideologies of a small but vibrant, religious subculture.;ABSTRACT: Although there has been a great deal of academic analysis of both the punk/alternative subculture(s) and western (re)interpretation of Hindu religious traditions, to date no major work has delved at length into the intersection of these strains of thought and practice save the recent analysis of one element of the Hindu-oriented punk and post-punk subculture(s), the 'Krishnacore' phenomenon, currently being carried out by Associate Professor of Religious Studies Sarah Pike, at California State University at Chico.
