Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Youth Political Engagement: Why Rock the Vote Hits the Wrong Note Those who employ a generational theory of political participation stress the importance of attachments to the political process citizens develop early in life. In other words, alienation from politics can become a lifelong phenomenon. Such generational concerns were, ostensibly, behind the creation of Rock the Vote (RtV), a non-profit organization aiming to "politically empower youth." With links to MTV and the recording industry, the effort has attracted attention from some in the political establishment who see it as a means of reaching alienated young people as well as a vehicle for reducing youthful voter apathy. Rock the Vote�s message is that entertainment is the way to get the young interested. Officially non-partisan, RtV concentrates its efforts on registering young people, reporting over three million new enrollees between 1992 and 2004. In partnership with the corporate sector, the organization�s tactics combine music concerts, events co-sponsored with local radio stations, bus tours of celebrities and activists, a 1-800 telephone number, the Internet, and �community street team� volunteers. But does the group's consumer-oriented corporate roots and connections cast doubt on its ability to have a significant impact? How many of today's media and marketing savvy youth reject the collusion of politics and big business and easily detect the hollow prudence of keeping things apolitical?
