Overview: At the dawn of the 1980s, the Clash urged punks to stand up to young Jamaican immigrant reggae-fans to put an end to discrimination and injustice. In France, in 1983, it was the march for equality and against racism that brought together an entire generation. At the beginning of the 1990s, a gap was widening between two youths, those from the ghettos and the others. Coming from the United States, hip hop became the voice of the suburbs and some people invented a universe with techno and raves. With the explosion of the Internet in the 2000s, young people are renewing their forms of protest. From the computer and cell phone to the street, youth is overthrowing dictatorships. These struggles are embodied in today’s uprisings: several movements are staging sensitivities that affect all generations.
