"Man You've Been a Naughty Boy, You Let Your Face Grow Long": On the Celebration of Negative Affect in Adolescence
Cooper, Paul; Kakos, Michalis
International Journal of Emotional Education, v5 n1 p3-16 Apr 2013

The authors consider the significance of this in relation to the history of melancholy and theories of identity formation.
