• This essay explores how the vampires Spike and Angel in the television program Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) offer new ways, including feminist readings, within which to reappraise the Rebel without a Cause archetype. Areas discussed include the juvenile delinquent as 'monstrous other' in today's society, youth culture's perpetual quest for meaning and identity, and associated popular music narratives.
