    Genders OnLine Journal - "I Want It That Way": Teenybopper Music and the Girling of Boy Bands 1/16/12 11:22 PM Genders 35 2002 Copyright ©2002 Ann Kibbey. "I Want It That Way" Back to: Teenybopper Music and the Girling of Boy Bands by GAYLE WALD You are my fire The one desire Believe when I say I want it that way. - Backstreet Boys, "I Want It That Way" [1] Among recent trends in youth music culture, perhaps none has been so widely reviled as the rise of a new generation of manufactured "teenybopper" pop acts. Since the late 1990s, the phenomenal visibility and commercial success of performers such as Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, and 'N Sync has inspired anxious public hand-wringing about the shallowness of youth culture, the triumph of commerce over art, and the sacrifice of "depth" to surface and image. By May 2000, so ubiquitous were the jeremiads against teenybopper pop performers and their fans that Pulse, the glossy in-house magazine of Tower Records, would see fit to mock the popularity of Spears and 'N Sync even as it dutifully promoted their newest releases. Featuring a cover photo of a trio of differently outfitted "Britney" dolls alongside a headline reading "Sells Like Teen Spirit"--a pun on the title of the breakthrough megahit ("Smells Like Teen Spirit") by the defunct rock band Nirvana--Pulse coyly plotted the trajectory of a decade's-long decrescendo in popular music: from the promise of grunge, extinguished with the 1994 suicide of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, to the ascendancy of girl and boy performers with their own look-alike action figures.

  • Swedish Pop Mafia: How a Culturally Conservative Effort in the 1940S Backfired to Create the Greatest Engine of Pop Music in the World
    Swedish Pop Mafia: How a culturally conservative effort in the 1940s backfired to create the greatest engine of pop music in the world BY WHET MOSER • March 24, 2014 • At some point over the last 15 years—sometime, say, between the 1999 release of “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys and last year’s “Roar” by Katy Perry—it became an inescapable fact that if you want to understand American pop music, you pretty much have to understand Sweden. Songwriters and producers from Stockholm have buttressed the careers of Lady Gaga, Madonna, Usher, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, The Backstreet Boys, Pitbull, Taylor Swift, One Direction, Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, and any number of other artists you’ve probably listened to while dancing, shopping, making out, or waiting on hold over the past decade. (And it’s not just American pop music that has Scandinavian fingerprints all over it: When Azerbaijan won the Eurovision contest in a 2011 upset, they did it with a song written for them by two Swedes.) If Americans are aware of this phenomenon, it is probably because they’ve heard about the legendary Swedish producer and songwriter Max Martin. There are any number of ways to express Martin’s ubiquity, but here’s one: From 2010 to 2011, the pop idol Katy Perry spent an unprecedented 69 consecutive weeks in the Billboard top 10, surpassing the previous record-holder, the 1990s Swedish group Ace of Base, by four months. But the milestone was far more of a testament to Martin’s staying power than Perry’s: Not only did he help produce and write all but one of Perry’s record- breaking string of hits, but he began his career as a producer for Ace of Base.

Kim-Trang Tran Professor Jonathan M. Hall “I enjoy gawking and admiring the architecture of the male form. Sue me. Women have spent centuries living in atmospheres in which female sexual desire was repressed, denied or self-suppressed, and the time has come to salivate over rippled abdominals, pulsing pecs and veiny forearms. Let's do it. Let's enjoy it while it lasts.” --Dodai Stewart, “Hollywood Men: It's No Longer About Your Acting, It's About Your Abs” December 11th, 2015 Bailey 2 Abstract: In the traditionally patriarchal Hollywood industry, the heterosexual man’s “male gaze,” as coined by feminist film theorist Laura Mulvey, is the dominant viewing model for cinematic audiences, leaving little room for a negotiated reading of how visual images are created, presented, and internalized by male and female audiences alike.

  • Bad Blood APPEARS in ROCK & POP 2018
    ACCESS ALL AREAS... bad blood APPEARS IN ROCK & POP 2018 Released: 2015 Album: 1989 Label: Big machine, Republic ABOUT THE SONG ‘Bad Blood’ — from Taylor Swift’s Grammy award- winning 2014 album 1989 — was a worldwide hit, reaching No. 1 in the USA, Australia, Canada, Israel, CAUSE BABY NOW WE’VE GOT New Zealand and Scotland. Written and performed by Taylor Swift, Max Martin and Shellback, the remixed single version was released on 17 May 2015 with added verses by rapper Kendrick Lamar. Inspired by the pop BAD BLOOD scene of the 1980s, Swift described 1989 as her ‘first “ documented official pop album’. YOU KNOW IT USED TO BE Like many of her songs, Taylor Swift draws on her own experiences for inspiration in ‘Bad Blood’. The song describes the betrayal of a close friend, and the resulting breakdown of the friendship. Despite intense speculation that the friend involved could be another well-known MAD LOVE artist, Swift has always refused to name them.
