[Studi ini memberikan pemahaman bagaimana perempuan melakukan adaptasi di dalam subkultur musik cadas sebagai ranah maskulin. Penelitian ini juga memberikan pemahaman mengenai alasan di balik adaptasi yang dilakukan oleh penggemar perempuan tersebut. Penelitian mengenai adaptasi perempuan di dalam ranah maskulin dilakukan terutama karena adanya kuasa laki-laki sebagai bentuk hegemoni maskulinitas di dalam ranah-ranah tertentu yang membuat identitas mereka menjadi norma. Subkultur musik cadas di Indonesia menggambarkan adanya kuasa laki-laki tersebut, baik sebagai musisi maupun sebagai penggemar. Padahal, subkultur ada sebagai ruang perjuangan melawan nilai-nilai dominan, namun kenyataannya subkultur justru melanggengkan patriarki sebagai budaya dominan. Dalam menganalisis mengenai adaptasi perempuan terhadap maskulinitas, peneliti menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif serta menggunakan teknik wawancara mendalam dan observasi partisipan. Penelitian kritis ini berhasil membuktikan bahwa perempuan di dalam subkultur musik cadas mengakui, mengizinkan, dan justru turut melanggengkan dominasi laki-laki sebagai bentuk hegemoni maskulinitas. Maskulinitas kemudian menjadi norma dalam hierarki identitas. Perempuan di dalam subkultur musik cadas pun melakukan adaptasi perilaku dan gaya berpakaian agar menyesuaikan dengan penggemar laki-laki di dalam subkultur musik cadas.;This study provides an understanding on how women adapt in a rocksubculture as a masculine terrain.
