Running head: SEXISM ACROSS MUSICAL GENRES 1 Sexism Across Musical Genres: A Comparison Sarah E. Neff Western Michigan University SEXISM ACROSS MUSICAL GENRES 2 Abstract Music is a part of daily life for most people, leading the messages within music to permeate people’s consciousness. This is concerning when the messages in music follow discriminatory themes such as sexism or racism. Sexism in music is becoming well documented, but some genres are scrutinized more heavily than others. Rap and hip-hop get much more attention in popular media for being sexist than do genres such as country and rock. My goal was to show whether or not genres such as country and rock are as sexist as rap and hip-hop. In this project, I analyze the top ten songs of 2013 from six genres looking for five themes of sexism. The six genres used are rap, hip-hop, country, rock, alternative, and dance.

  • The Perfect Society
    BOSTER, EMILEE Emilee Boster Age: 17, Grade: 12 School Name: Hartselle High School, Hartselle, AL Educator: Dyroma Burroughs Category: Science Fiction & Fantasy The Perfect Society Goodness looked at the enormous clock sitting on the wall. It stared at her at every minute. Sometimes she thought it would stop, just for a moment, as if to tell her a secret. But she always kept walking. There was no time for stopping. She soon stood in front of room 205, her assigned sleeping room. A short blonde woman reached over Goodness’s shoulder and unlocked the door. Her room was bare since it only held three things: a bed, a suitcase, and a sink. She pulled her suitcase from under the bed and changed into her social time gown. She had sewn the long white dress years ago when all the girls on floor 2 were ordered to sew social time gowns. Before then, she only had one gown, but after that, she had two, so she was happy. She slipped on her straw sandals, clasped the suitcase back, and shoved it under the bed. She heard a knock at the door. Goodness smoothed down the top of her long strawberry blonde hair and took one step to touch the door. Curious stood there smiling. “Social time.” He said with no emotion. Goodness shut the door behind her, and they walked to the end of the hallway. They went down the set of stairs to the basement where social gatherings were held. Strict walked to the front of the room and led an exercise while Goodness and Curious moved chess pieces across the board.

Drake's fourth album sounds claustrophobic and too long and weirdly monotonous, yet a few great moments are triggered by the occasional tweaks in the mix. On July 31, 2015, the track was recorded by Nineteen85 as the album's lead single "Hotline Bling" was released. 'Hotline Bling' was included as the bonus track on the record, despite the song being released as the official lead single for Views. VIEWS is the name of the record, but its viewpoint is distinctly singular. In a recent, toothless interview, Drake told Zane Lowe, differentiating VIEWS from his previous work, "This album, I'm very proud to say, is just, I feel like I told everyone how I really feel." This may sound like a ludicrous distinction, but it's appropriate, and it suggests why this album sounds more like a claustrophobic mindfuck than a communal catharsis. There's never any doubt that Drake is the star of his own show. Artist: Drake Album: Views (2016) Genre: Hip-Hop. Track list: 01. Keep the Family Close 02. 9 03. U With Me? 04. Feel No Ways 05.

  • FADER OVO Golden Child VICE PARTYNEXTDOOR Is OVO's Next
    FADER OVO golden child VICE PARTYNEXTDOOR is OVO’s next experiment for how to make the music industry work. This plan of releasing songs, touring, and not doing much else is ambitious in a music landscape that seems to demand artists always stay in the spotlight, but it’s also working. There’s very little money to be made in the music industry in 2014 outside of touring, selling your talents as a featured artist, and having your music licensed for car commercials. The team over at October’s Very Own know this, and they’re priming Brathwaite to be a valuable part of their label by adopting a perfected version of a blueprint that has failed them before with The Weeknd and the XO collective. PartyNextDoor carries on this trend of singing about the darker aspects of life, but aims his focus on the violent and romantic life of gang parties instead of after parties, putting the narrative on the drug dealer instead of the drug taker. NEW YORK TIMES A burlier, less emotionally icy version of the Weeknd THE WASHINGTON POST PartyNextDoor has explored the type of sullen, synth‐swaddled R&B mastered by Drake and his former collaborator the Weeknd. This sense of musical deja vu dominated the night, whether in lyrics about popping champagne, blowing money fast and riding through the city, or in samples of Miguel and Dru Hill. GRANTLAND It’s fitting, then, that Brathwaite is our first truly post‐Weeknd artist, doubling down on the bone‐chilling Toronto nihilism that catapulted Abel Tesfaye to PBR&B stardom in 2011.

  • Jon Augustyn's Amazing Story of Survival
    1 Jon Augustyn’s Amazing Story of Survival The following biography written by Sarah Newton is based on six interview sessions with Jon Augustyn during the summer of 2012. The biography was last updated in November 2016. Next time you walk up Third Street East, poke your head under the hedge just before you reach Mackenzie. You will find a neatly organized vegetable and flower garden, and most likely, you will see Jon Augustyn working. There is a lot more to this man than his garden. He holds much wisdom and history. Many parts of his soul have been left in desolate parts of Russia, North Africa, Asia, and Italy. His story is one of miraculous survival. Jon, born in 1919, is 97 years old and lived through the great depression, was a prisoner in communist Russia and a soldier during WWII. His life is a story of survival during one of the most terrifying and dangerous eras of modern history. In 1939 when WWII war started, Jon was in the Polish cadets, and wasn’t qualified to go to the frontline. Instead he was made a soldier on the Russian border, only two kilometres from his house. Very soon after the war started, the advancing Russians took Jon prisoner. This began a harrowing trip that was months long and of nightmarish proportions. Something worse happened soon after his own capture. In January 1940, the advancing Russian troops then took his parents and all his siblings prisoner and ordered them into boxcars for a brutal three week trip to slave labour camps in Siberia.
