The young Europeans of the third millennium are the inheritors of a society that is defined in terms of consumption and opulence. These are young people who have been born into a society of well-being in which leisure and entertainment have assumed a hegemonic position among the various criteria that govern contemporary social structure. But leisure has also been assimilated by the market and is defined by consumption-related criteria that have given rise to an active, well-established and growing recreational industry, which is playing an active role in the creation of lifestyle criteria. More than almost any other social group, young people have truly made leisure spaces their own. The preferred time for engaging in these recreational/fun (and consumer) practises is the evening/night. Against this background this research project looks at the association between ecstasy (and other synthetic drugs), certain types of music (house, for example), the rave circuit, a young lifestyle and a particular view of the world.

Palavras-chave : New drugs; lifestyle sectors; reflexivity of consumption; cultivated risk.
