  • 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.

Rhymes and Linkin Park recently collaborated on “We Made It,” the first single and video from Rhymes’ upcoming album, Blessed. By touring together, Linkin Park & Busta are taking a cue from the chorus of their song: “…we took it on the road…”. As recently pointed out in Rolling Stone’s “Summer Tour Guide,” the tour will see nine acts joining rock superstars Linkin Park, who are also offering concertgoers a digital souvenir pack that includes a recording of the band’s entire set. As the band’s co-lead vocalist Mike Shinoda told the magazine, “That puts extra pressure on us to make sure our set is different every night.” The fifth installation of Linkin Park’s raging road show will see them headlining an all-star bill that features former Soundgarden/Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell, electro-rockers The Bravery and Ashes Divide featuring Billy Howerdel, known for his work with A Perfect Circle.

One of most respected bandleaders/musicians in the country, damien sneed, will conduct a choir and band for a program titled We shall over- come: a Celebration of dr. Martin Luther King J r. , Saturday (Feb. 22), at Laxson auditorium. The show is billed as “a living lineage of music and culture” that will “showcase a repertoire from across the African-American music traditions that electrified generations of civil rights activists and defenders with interwo- ven spoken word from Dr. King’s recorded speeches.” The prodution is part of a tour to coincide with the release of Sneed and company’s We Shall Overcome compilation Damien Sneed of songs across many genres—jazz, gospel, classical, Broadway tunes, pop—that are featured in the show (check the groovy rendition of simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”). HITTING THE MARKS Congrats to Chico High school theater students for picking up awards at the Junior Theater Festival in Sacramento earlier this month (Feb. 7-9). A press release for the event announced that the Chico High group brought “fantastic energy, specific and honest storytelling, and fun choreography” to its performance of Legally Blonde The Musical JR., winning the Excellence in Acting award, while student Brenna Murray took home Outstanding Performance by an Individual Performer. And though cheerleading isn’t normally on my radar, I want to give a shout out to the crosstown Pleasant Valley High squads for getting second place in both a national varsity competition in Orlando, Fla.
