A Business Perspective Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Business Administration International Business and Logistics 1405484 22nd March 2018 Abstract Author(s) Jose Dailos Cabrera Laasanen Title Is Rock Music in Decline? A Business Perspective Number of Pages 45 Date 22.03.2018 Degree Bachelor of Business Administration Degree Programme International Business and Logistics Instructor(s) Michael Keaney, Senior Lecturer Rock music has great importance in the recent history of human kind, and it is interesting to understand the reasons of its de- cline, if it actually exists. Its legacy will never disappear, and it will always be a great influence for new artists but is important to find out the reasons why it has become what it is in now, and what is the expected future for the genre. This project is going to be focused on the analysis of some im- portant business aspects related with rock music and its de- cline, if exists. The collapse of Gibson guitars will be analyzed, because if rock music is in decline, then the collapse of Gibson is a good evidence of this. Also, the performance of independ- ent and major record labels through history will be analyzed to understand better the health state of the genre. The same with music festivals that today seem to be increasing their popularity at the expense of smaller types of live-music events.

  • Psychobilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease in Athens
    IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies Volume 5 – Issue 1 – Spring 2020 Psychobilly Psychosis and the Garage Disease in Athens Michael Tsangaris, University of Piraeus, Greece Konstantina Agrafioti, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The complexity and the bizarre nature of Psychobilly as a music genre and as a music collectivity make it very convenient for reconsidering several views in relation to subcultures, neo-tribes and scenes. More specifically, the case of Greek Psychobilly can categorically present how subcultural trends can be disseminated across gender, social classes and national borders. This study aims to trace historically the scene of Psychobilly in Athens based on typical ethnographic research and analytic autoethnography. The research question is: Which are the necessary elements that can determine the existence of a local music scene? Supported by semi-structured interviews, the study examines how individuals related to the Psychobilly subculture comprehend what constitutes the Greek Psychobilly scene. Although it can be questionable whether there ever was a Psychobilly scene in Athens, there were always small circles in existence into which people drifted and stayed for quite a while, constituting the pure core of the Greek Psychobilly subculture. Keywords: psychobilly, music genres, Athens, Post-subcultural Theory 31 IAFOR Journal of Cultural Studies Volume 5 – Issue 1 – Spring 2020 Introduction According to the American Countercultures Encyclopaedia, Psychobilly is a subculture that emerged in the 1980s from the unlikely combination of rockabilly and punk rock. The provocative and sometimes outrageous style associated with psychobillies (also known as “psychos”) mixes the blue-collar rawness and rebellion of 1950s rockabilly with the confrontational do-it-yourself style of 1970s punk rock, a syncretism infused with themes from monster and horror films, campy sci-fi movies, and even professional wrestling” (Wojcik, 2013, p.

    37079_u01.qxd 4/2/08 2:22 PM Page 11 chapter 1 The Expressive Vernacular What we call the common tongue is that which we acquire without any rule, by imitating our nurses. Dante Alighieri, On Eloquence in the Vernacular (De vulgari eloquentia) At the beginning of the fourteenth century Dante proposed—radically, for his time—that not only classical Latin but vernacular languages as well might serve as agents for eloquent and even elevated poetic expres- sion. Even if his case was strategic, since he intended to promote his na- tive Tuscan idiolect as the most “literary” among the many forms taken by what we now call Italian, his methodology foreshadowed in a general way the enterprise of modern sociolinguistics. In his unfinished treatise on the eloquent vernacular, the medieval poet attempted to describe broadly and systematically how language is acquired, and how it strikes the ear. Suggesting that some languages and their verbal forms and ges- tures could provide models for meaningful imitation or refashioning out- side their original ethnic and cultural environments, he argued that the expressive features of a language resided in its sound, and might even be grasped without command of its grammar, a “second” and less essential form of language. His observations constituted a watershed of cultural practice: vernacular literature would soon take off, not only in Italy but in France and England, where poets like Machaut and Chaucer were ready to embrace Dante’s modernist perspective. Dante’s sense of how language works is especially relevant to musical media repertories of the twentieth century (including some of the mon- ster hits of rock and pop), in which concert hall music, as it was popu- larly imagined and characterized by those whose experience lay prima- –s rily outside the walls of “classical” music venues, played a significant –o 11 Copyrighted Material 37079_u01.qxd 4/2/08 2:22 PM Page 12 12 Registering the Classic expressive role even though its musical grammar did not.
