Name of student: Claudia Gielis MA Thesis Advisor: Dr. M. Roza MA Thesis 2nd reader: Prof. Dr. F. Mehring Gielis /2 ENGELSE TAAL EN CULTUUR Teacher who will receive this document: Dr. M. Roza and Prof. Dr. F. Mehring Title of document: It’s Not a Fashion Statement. An exploration of Masculinity and Femininity in Contemporary Emo Music. Name of course: MA Thesis North American Studies Date of submission: 15 August 2018 The work submitted here is the sole responsibility of the undersigned, who has neither committed plagiarism nor colluded in its production. Signed Name of student: Claudia Gielis Gielis /3 Abstract Masculinity and femininity can be performed in many ways. The emo genre explores a variety of ways in which gender can be performed. Theories on gender, masculinity and femininity will be used to analyze both the lyrics and the music videos of these two bands, indicating how they perform gender lyrically and visually. Likewise a short introduction on emo music will be given, to gain a better understanding of the genre and the subculture. It will become clear that the emo subculture allows for men and women to explore their own identity. This is reflected in the music associated to the emo genre as well as their visual representation in their music videos. This essay will explore how both a male fronted band, My Chemical Romance, and a female fronted band, Paramore, perform gender. All studio albums and official music videos will be used to investigate how they have performed gender throughout their career.

  • This Ain't a Scene, It's a Buzzer Race.Pdf
    This Ain’t a Scene, It’s a Buzzer Race Sadboys are temporary. Sad trumpets are forever. Written by Brian Luong Tossups: 1. This band’s extensive and impressive merchandise catalogue can be attributed to guitarist Nick Steinhardt’s side occupation as a graphic designer. A live EP following this band’s sophomore studio album was titled Live on BBC Radio 1 and featured vocals from Jordan Dreyer of La Dispute. It’s not Red Hot Chili Peppers, but this band’s distinct asterisk-shaped logo was meant to evoke converging road markings leading to a sunset, and was first used in promotional artwork for the band’s second album, with that album’s initials “PTSBBAM” arranged in the negative spaces of the logo. This band’s 2016 single “Palm Dreams” was described by their frontman as a song about his inability to ask his mother about why she moved to California after she passed. The album from which that single is taken, as a whole, deals with themes of frontman Jeremy Bolm grieving the loss of his mother due to cancer. For 10 points, give the name of this Los Angeles-based post-hardcore band, which you may know from the albums Parting the Sea Between Brightness and Me and Stage Four. ANSWER: Touché Amoré 2. This website once hosted a stand-up and sketch comedy tour titled All Comics Are Bastards. This website’s sister site was also responsible for the creation and management of the Twitter account of Ace Watkins, whose bio reads, “The only Gamer running for President of the United States”.

    IASPM 2018 Nashville Conference Program ABSTRACTS 1 IASPM-US 2018 Annual Meeting Abstract Program Date/Time Time Panel Number and Title Panelists Location THURSDAY MARCH 8 Thursday, 9:00am- IASPM Board Meeting Room March 8 Noon 11670 Thurs March 8 2:00-3:30pm PL1: Plenary Organizer: Toby Seay Turner In the round: Nashville Moderator: Anthony Kwame Harrison Hall songwriter culture The songwriting industry that was previously driven by large publishing companies, such as tin pan alley, et al, has largely given way to producer led teams, where songs are written for a specific project with the inclusion of the recording artist. While publishing continues to be a major point of commerce within the music industry, the model of writing large pools of songs and then shopping them to potential music artists and producers has diminished, while shopping songs to film and video has increased. However, the Nashville songwriting culture maintains an industry of songwriter-led creation, while struggling with changes in the industry and modes of production. While the Nashville market is undergoing change, this performance will be in the traditional “songwriters in the round” setup in order to display the songwriter culture that has persisted in Nashville since the beginning of the recorded music industry. One round of songs by each songwriter will be followed by a moderated discussion concerning the creative process, the signifiers of Nashville musical output, and how the changes in monetary compensation impacts their art. A selection of up to three songwriters will be chosen for this performance/discussion.
