N2  - How can the youth’s crave for Zouglou music be accounted for ? Why are poli- ticians, the almighty media, and the entertainment industry all inculcating the youth such stupid music? Aren’t they leading the youth to being passive? Aren’t they handing them over to the watchdogs of capital? This text is offering a different explanation. In Côte-d’Ivoire, there is no one single youth; there are rather multiple and differentiated youth. It is not only an object, but also a subject. It is not always irresponsible, as some think.
