Resumen

El objeto de este artículo es analizar la música popular en el cine hooligan contemporáneo británico en tanto que proyección de una mirada romántica y nostálgica al fenómeno de la violencia en el fútbol, susceptible de neutralizar la estigmatización mediática tradicional. El sentido épico de la banda sonora derivado de sus connotaciones bélicas contribuye a exorcizar los miedos sociales despertados por el hooliganismo. Concluyo afirmando que el acompañamiento musical cinematográfico tiene por fin tanto establecer un correlato exacto y legítimo de la historia cultural británica de los años ochenta, cuanto revisitar la desolación general que sociólogos e historiadores asocian a ella.
