Being a real man is probably one of the most common expectations that boys face. And certainly, it is also a desire for many of them. But what exactly is a man, a real one at that? Is it a cool guy who knows the way? A tough character who has guts? Someone who can dish it out but can also take it? A person who stands their ground when necessary: at any cost? Or is it something entirely different? Does one have to be an understanding of women? Is a balance of emotion and toughness required? Youth scenes offer templates, sometimes even blueprints for notions and practices of masculinity. Street cultures, right-wing scenes, autonomists, as well as emos, transgender individuals, and other youth and popular cultures provide answers to questions like those mentioned above. They describe in what form they do this and for whom they hold appeal.
