  • PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 and 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate
    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Hz So Good to List All the Way-Over-The-Top Sexual Boasts
    How Beyoncé Reinvented Sex (on record, anyway) “Fighting to Stay Free” * (WAY MORE THAN) DOUBLE ISSUE * #187...October-November 2014 And now, ladies and gentlemen… The final installment of… A History Of Sex In Pop Music …because we may as well go all the way…to 2014. The 1990s ROAM – B-52’s (1990) The beginning of the 1990s may have marked the end of the age of subtlety. When was the last time someone said to you (or vice versa), “Oh, yeah – that song’s about sex”? Could have been when this was out. JUST A FRIEND – Biz Markie and THE HUMPTY DANCE – Digital Underground (1999) Along with “Wild Thing” a year earlier, set the bar for sex in rap: edgy then, closer to comedy now. WHIP APPEAL – Babyface (1990) Only in the early 90s could an R&B ballad have whip appeal. I actually still have no idea what that is. WILD WOMEN DO – Natalie Cole (1990) “…and they don’t regret it.” Probably the nastiest song she ever did, all the more interesting seeing as the next time we heard from her, she was duet-ing with her dad’s ghost. U CAN’T TOUCH THIS – M.C. Hammer (1990) Because it was re- purposed as a song about sex. If you were dating around this time, you know what I’m talking about. ALL I WANT TO DO IS MAKE LOVE TO YOU – Heart (1990) Heart deserved better than this four-minute version of a daytime soap, where woman has all-night sex with handsome stranger to get preggers as hubby couldn’t get the job done.
