  • Masculinity in Emo Music a Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Arts and Social Science in Candi
    CARLETON UNIVERSITY FLUID BODIES: MASCULINITY IN EMO MUSIC A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCE IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC BY RYAN MACK OTTAWA, ONTARIO MAY 2014 ABSTRACT Emo is a genre of music that typically involves male performers, which evolved out of the punk and hardcore movements in Washington DC during the mid-80s. Scholarly literature on emo has explored its cultural and social contexts in relation to the “crisis” of masculinity—the challenging of the legitimacy of patriarchy through “alternative” forms of masculinity. This thesis builds upon this pioneering work but departs from its perpetuation of strict masculine binaries by conflating hegemonic and subordinate/alternative masculinities into a single subject position, which I call synergistic masculinity. In doing so, I use emo to explicate this vis-à-vis an intertextual analysis that explores the dominant themes in 1) lyrics; 2) the sites of vocal production (head, throat, chest) in conjunction with pitch and timbre; 3) the extensional and intensional intervallic relationships between notes and chords, and the use of dynamics in the musical syntax; 4) the use of public and private spaces, as well as the performative masculine body in music video. I posit that masculine emo performers dissolve these hierarchically organized masculinities, which allows for a deeper musical meaning and the extramusical signification of masculinity. Keywords: emo, synergistic masculinity, performativity, music video, masculinities, lyrics, vocal production, musical syntax, dynamics. ABSTRAIT Emo est un genre musical qui implique typiquement des musiciens de sexe masculine et qui est issu de movement punk et hardcore originaire de Washington DC durant les années 80.

  • Where Can I Download Dashboard Confessional Albums Did Dashboard Confessional Inspire This Taylor Swift Lyric? Let's Review
    where can i download dashboard confessional albums Did Dashboard Confessional inspire this Taylor Swift lyric? Let's review. On Friday, Taylor Swift surprise-dropped her eighth studio album, folklore, which sent fans into a delighted frenzy. Since the 16 new songs were released at midnight, Swifties have been parsing lyrics for romantic subtext, stoking the flames of those old Karlie Kloss rumors, and wondering if Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' third child is named Betty. folklore leaves much to digest, unpack, and savor, but I, for one, can't fully focus on doing that, because I can't stop thinking about a single lyric on Track 6, "mirrorball," that's straight out of a Dashboard Confessional song. Anyone who knows me knows I've been a hardcore, unwavering Dashboard fan since the early 2000s. This explains why I received the following text from my friend and fellow good music lover, Caitlin Healey, on Friday afternoon. Healy explained that when listening to "mirrorball" she couldn't help but think of a lyric from Dashboard's 2006 song, "Stolen." And as someone whose eighth grade MySpace song was "Stolen," I feel Caitlin came to the right place for this discussion. Image: screenshot / nicole gallucci. For those who need a refresher, in "mirrorball," Swift sings, "You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes / Spinning in my highest heels, love / Shining just for you." And in "Stolen," Dashboard's Chris Carrabba famously sings, "I watch you spin around in your highest heels." I was born to do many things in this life, and you'd better believe that opening my laptop on a Saturday to do a deep dive on Taylor Swift and Dashboard Confessional is one of them.

Jon Smith, PhD ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 2 An Internship with Kirvin Doak Communications I would like to thank my parents for their ongoing motivation to help me excel in not only in my education but also throughout life. Being the first generation student I never imagined attaining my master's degree, but here I am, thanks to you. Thank you for bringing me lunch when I was in elementary school, rides to the airport for undergrad sorority conferences, having patience with me when I was stressed about graduation, and most importantly for loving me unconditionally. I want to thank my gladiators (you know who you are) who reminded me as to why I was perusing this degree when all I wanted to do was give up. Helping me take notes, ask a question in class for me when I didn't understand a concept, bringing me an endless amount of coffee to ease the writing process and truly believing that I am going to be successful in the near future. And finally, I would like to thank my professors that I have had at Southern Utah University.
