IKE SEWELL Under the Direction of Dr. Marian Meyers ABSTRACT This ethnographic study compares and contrasts performative masculinities of the male- dominated heavy metal (HM) and hardcore (HC) subcultures. Conclusions derived from this research indicate the following: identities associated with HM and HC conflate masculinity with working-classness; HM and HC identities (and thus masculinities) are merging at present; participation in HM and HC enclaves can serve to symbolically marginalize constituents, and this symbolic marginalization can result in repercussions in the lived world outside of subculture; the hegemonic masculinity of HM and HC subcultures is double-edged masculinity , meaning that it supports the male-dominated structure of mainstream culture without empowering HM and HC males in an extra-subcultural sense; and that despite these negative ramifications, HM and HC participants still find the shared identities and community interaction of these enclaves to be empowering.

Ike Sewell 2012 “DOING IT FOR THE DUDES”: A COMPARATIVE ETHNOGRAPHIC STUDY OF PERFORMATIVE MASCULINITY IN HEAVY METAL AND HARDCORE SUBCULTURES by J. IKE SEWELL Committee Chair: Marian J. Meyers Committee: Tomasz Tabako Ted Friedman Patricia G. Davis Megan J. Sinnott Electronic Version Approved: Office of Graduate Studies College of Arts and Sciences Georgia State University August 2012 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Topmost on my thank you list is Dr. Marian Meyers, who was brave enough to step at a crucial juncture. Thank you, Dr. Meyers, for your righteous (but not self-righteous) insights, patience, accessibility and positivity through what may probably seemed an arduous and thankless undertaking. If karma points are ever handed out, you’ll get yours. But as we have already established, no good deed goes unpunished. Special thanks go to Dr. Tomasz Tabako, my first mentor at Georgia State who introduced me to rhetorical theory and inspired me to take a different academic direction at the beginning of my doctoral studies. Your intellect is so astounding that it’s almost scary—but you temper this daunting brainpower with charm and style. I’ll never meet anyone else who is even remotely like you, a stellar mind. Thanks goes to Drs. Patricia Davis and Ted Friedman, both of whom were willing to step in at the point where it was necessary to reconfigure the dissertation committee. I hardly knew either of you when I asked that you join the committee—and both of you have gone beyond the proverbial call of duty by joining. Your participation helped greatly to reinvigorate this project. I thank Dr. Megan Sinnott from Georgia State’s Women’s Studies Institute for joining the committee as an outsider. Your Feminist Theory class in 2009 was one of the most illuminating experiences of my time at GSU. In that class, I felt as if I had been given a special key to access women’s experience. I also especially appreciate your willingness to critique this dissertation while in Thailand on vacation. Once again, someone has overstepped the bounds of duty. v Special thanks go to my perfect parents, Rebecca and Ike Sewell. Both educators and scholars, you knew what a difficult task doctoral study would be and unselfishly lavished me with kind words and unending emotional support through this process. Thank you for your patience and eternal love. Of course, I would like to thank my perfect partner, Stacy Fentress. Without you I never would have even started graduate school, let alone enter a Ph.D. program. Like my perfect parents, you’re always there no matter what. Unlike my perfect parents, you’re a rock’n’roller, my punk rock queen. You rule. A host of individuals have somehow aided my writing this dissertation, many of whom will unfortunately go unacknowledged. Writing this work was a long and laborious process, and many who were not formally involved in this process such as library aides, Georgia State University Department of Communication staff, and just people who were nice to me in day-to- day interactions during the stressful period of writing this have somehow spurred me along my way. Thank you. I would like to thank all of the metal and hardcore kids who participated in this study. And I would like to thank all the dudes . Finally and eternally, And I would like to thank rock’n’roll itself, my power source. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .......................................................................................................... v LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................................ x 1.

  • Heavy Metal and Classical Literature
    Lusty, “Rocking the Canon” LATCH, Vol. 6, 2013, pp. 101-138 ROCKING THE CANON: HEAVY METAL AND CLASSICAL LITERATURE By Heather L. Lusty University of Nevada, Las Vegas While metalheads around the world embrace the engaging storylines of their favorite songs, the influence of canonical literature on heavy metal musicians does not appear to have garnered much interest from the academic world. This essay considers a wide swath of canonical literature from the Bible through the Science Fiction/Fantasy trend of the 1960s and 70s and presents examples of ways in which musicians adapt historical events, myths, religious themes, and epics into their own contemporary art. I have constructed artificial categories under which to place various songs and albums, but many fit into (and may appear in) multiple categories. A few bands who heavily indulge in literary sources, like Rush and Styx, don’t quite make my own “heavy metal” category. Some bands that sit 101 Lusty, “Rocking the Canon” LATCH, Vol. 6, 2013, pp. 101-138 on the edge of rock/metal, like Scorpions and Buckcherry, do. Other examples, like Megadeth’s “Of Mice and Men,” Metallica’s “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and Cradle of Filth’s “Nymphetamine” won’t feature at all, as the thematic inspiration is clear, but the textual connections tenuous.1 The categories constructed here are necessarily wide, but they allow for flexibility with the variety of approaches to literature and form. A segment devoted to the Bible as a source text has many pockets of variation not considered here (country music, Christian rock, Christian metal).

  • Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal *
    Compound AABA Form and Style Distinction in Heavy Metal * Stephen S. Hudson NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: hps://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.21.27.1/mto.21.27.1.hudson.php KEYWORDS: Heavy Metal, Formenlehre, Form Perception, Embodied Cognition, Corpus Study, Musical Meaning, Genre ABSTRACT: This article presents a new framework for analyzing compound AABA form in heavy metal music, inspired by normative theories of form in the Formenlehre tradition. A corpus study shows that a particular riff-based version of compound AABA, with a specific style of buildup intro (Aas 2015) and other characteristic features, is normative in mainstream styles of the metal genre. Within this norm, individual artists have their own strategies (Meyer 1989) for manifesting compound AABA form. These strategies afford stylistic distinctions between bands, so that differences in form can be said to signify aesthetic posing or social positioning—a different kind of signification than the programmatic or semantic communication that has been the focus of most existing music theory research in areas like topic theory or musical semiotics. This article concludes with an exploration of how these different formal strategies embody different qualities of physical movement or feelings of motion, arguing that in making stylistic distinctions and identifying with a particular subgenre or style, we imagine that these distinct ways of moving correlate with (sub)genre rhetoric and the physical stances of imagined communities of fans (Anderson 1983, Hill 2016).

Electronic Theses and Dissertations, 2004-2019. 2277. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/etd/2277 THEMATIC PATTERNS IN MILLENNIAL HEAVY METAL: A LYRICAL ANALYSIS by EVAN CHABOT B.A. University of Florida, 2011 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Sociology in the College of Sciences at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Fall Term 2012 ABSTRACT Research on heavy metal music has traditionally been framed by deviant characterizations, effects on audiences, and the validity of criticism. More recently, studies have neglected content analysis due to perceived homogeneity in themes, despite evidence that the modern genre is distinct from its past. As lyrical patterns are strong markers of genre, this study attempts to characterize heavy metal in the 21st century by analyzing lyrics for specific themes and perspectives. Citing evidence that the “Millennial” generation confers significant developments to popular culture, the contemporary genre is termed “Millennial heavy metal” throughout, and the study is framed accordingly.

    PERPETUAL CONVERSION: 30 Years and Counting in the Life of Metal Veteran Dan Lilker Dave Hofer Click here if your download doesn"t start automatically PERPETUAL CONVERSION: 30 Years and Counting in the Life of Metal Veteran Dan Lilker Dave Hofer PERPETUAL CONVERSION: 30 Years and Counting in the Life of Metal Veteran Dan Lilker Dave Hofer Perpetual Conversion traces the career of bassist Dan Lilker from 1981, the year he co-founded Anthrax, through 2011, and details numerous influential bands he founded or joined, including the groundbreaking Stormtroopers of Death (S.O.D.), thrash legends Nuclear Assault, grindcore trailblazers Brutal Truth, and one of the earliest US black metal bands, Hemlock. Although known among die-hard, underground metal fans, Lilker's influence has been significant across many genres. From his signature heavily distorted bass tone to his unquenchable thirst to create forward- thinking, aggressive music, Lilker's musical drive has seen him at the forefront of New York hardcore, crossover, thrash, grindcore, and black metal. Perpetual Conversion is culled from extensive interviews conducted by author Dave Hofer with Lilker, his family, his peers, and his bandmates past and present, including personal accounts from Craig Setari of Sick of It All, Barney Greenway of Napalm Death, Dave Witte of Municipal Waste, Scott Ian of Anthrax, Gene Hoglan of Death/Dark Angel, Kevin Sharp of Brutal Truth, Digby Pearson of Earache Records, Fenriz of Darkthrone, Chris Reifert of Death/Autopsy, rapper Necro, Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Jacob Bannon of Converge, and many others. In addition, the book is supplemented with excerpts from historic interviews, key reviews, and dozens of previously unseen images.

  • Exploring the Chinese Metal Scene in Contemporary Chinese Society (1996-2015)
    "THE SCREAMING SUCCESSOR": EXPLORING THE CHINESE METAL SCENE IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE SOCIETY (1996-2015) Yu Zheng A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS December 2016 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Esther Clinton Kristen Rudisill © 2016 Yu Zheng All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This research project explores the characteristics and the trajectory of metal development in China and examines how various factors have influenced the localization of this music scene. I examine three significant roles – musicians, audiences, and mediators, and focus on the interaction between the localized Chinese metal scene and metal globalization. This thesis project uses multiple methods, including textual analysis, observation, surveys, and in-depth interviews. In this thesis, I illustrate an image of the Chinese metal scene, present the characteristics and the development of metal musicians, fans, and mediators in China, discuss their contributions to scene’s construction, and analyze various internal and external factors that influence the localization of metal in China. After that, I argue that the development and the localization of the metal scene in China goes through three stages, the emerging stage (1988-1996), the underground stage (1997-2005), the indie stage (2006-present), with Chinese characteristics. And, this localized trajectory is influenced by the accessibility of metal resources, the rapid economic growth, urbanization, and the progress of modernization in China, and the overall development of cultural industry and international cultural communication. iv For Yisheng and our unborn baby! v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr.

  • Uses and Perceptions of English in Budapest's Rock
    HUNGARIAN HARDCORE: USES AND PERCEPTIONS OF ENGLISH IN BUDAPEST’S ROCK SCENE By John M. Brezny Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: Professor Jean-Louis Fabiani Professor Balazs Vedres CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2013 CEU eTD Collection Abstract This thesis focuses on the way that English is used and perceived within Budapest’s contemporary rock scene. It ultimately portrays the rock scene in a way that splits it into thee typological segments, which are respectively punk rock, cover bands, and standard rock. Above all, these divisions highlight the multitude of ways in which English functions in Budapest’s rock scene overall. In the analysis of punk rock, emphasis is put on the practicality of using English as a means of transmitting ideologies of resistance. The section on cover bands shows English as a medium through which bands recreate the object of the cultural idol. Finally, the section on standard rock focuses upon English as a way of producing a cultural European citizenship, which largely avoids being restricted by the boundaries of the nation-state. The primary conclusion of this thesis invokes the idea that the presence of English in Budapest’s rock scene is ultimately a way in which Hungarian rockers have adapted to their perceptions of what constitutes modernity. Key Words: Hungary, Rock Music, English, Autonomy, Cultural Exchange, Normalization CEU eTD Collection i Acknowledgements I would like to thank Central European University’s Sociology and Social Anthropology Department for providing me with the theoretical tools necessary for the intellectual success of this paper.
