This context limits the construction of significant projects outside the market and consumption logics. Through a field research that includes in-depth interviews with five youngsters, as well as informal conversations, participant observation, analysis of the movement’s cultural productions, and the involvement of one of the authors of this text as a member of the movement, we found a tension between resistance and criticism of the system and the necessary linkage to the cultural market in order to publicize their messages and practices. There are some way outs to this tension, which lead to an entrepreneurship that does not deny criticism and resistance. El objetivo de este artículo es explorar la experiencia de algunos jóvenes integrantes de la cultura Hip Hop dentro de un contexto neoliberal que restringe sus oportunidades educativas y laborales. Dicho contexto impide la construcción de proyectos significativos fuera del mercado y del consumo. A través de un trabajo de campo –que incluye entrevistas a profundidad realizadas a cinco jóvenes, así como conversaciones informales, observación participante, análisis de producciones culturales propias del movimiento, y la implicación de uno de los autores de este texto como integrante del movimiento–, se observa una tensión entre la resistencia y la crítica al sistema, y la necesaria vinculación al mercado cultural con el fin de dar a conocer sus mensajes y sus prácticas. Se observan salidas que apuntan a un emprendimiento que no niega la crítica y la resistencia.
