This paper explores, through biographic memories, the genesis of the youth cultures new wave and punk in Chile into the context of the military dictatorship. By testimonies -triangulated with several oral and documentary sources-, it carried out an unprecedented process of the rediversification of youth identity in the country, which made it possible to identify the movement of young people to alternative groups from the "loyal" and "integrated" youth population that was organized or promoted by the Pinochet regime. The article argues that punks and new waves are agents of a type of multiple and symbolic resistance, marked by the deployment of a dissenting expressiveness that distinguishes them from "militant" and "militarized" youth and whose impact is evidenced, among other phenomena, in their dissemination that breaks traditional class boundaries.

Keywords : youth; cultural identity; dictatorship; Chile.
