Ospita l'imponente University of Florida, e in passato è stata nota come la Berkeley del sud-est statunitense, rimanendo poi al centro del "feudo" G è democratico che Alachua County. La fama musicale di Gainesville parte da lontano, Tom Petty in primo luogo, metà formazio- ne degli Eagles (ahimè), e persino il defunto River Phoenix con i suoi Aleka's Attic. E poi, finalmente, il punk rock. Against Me!, Less Than Jake, Hot Water Music, Asshole Parade, Radon, Gunmoll..., tutti di Gainesville, tutti nel catalogo di No Idea Records, che nel 2010, con 15 anni di storia alle spalle, è decisamente tra le etichette più attive e longeve d'oltreoceano. Celebrando se stessa, No Idea organizza The Fest, ormai giunta all'ottava edizione e trasfor- matasi, almeno dal punto di vista organizzativo, in un vero mostro: tre giorni, 300 gruppi, 12 locali; punk rock, post-punk, hardcore, stoner, power violence..., niente metalcore, quello pare che non piaccia proprio a nessuno! Folgorato dalla programmazione e fomentato da un inaspettato compagno di viaggio, niente meno che in occasione del concerto bresciano di Jello Biafra, ho deciso di fare il tentativo. PRE THE FEST pt. 1 A beneficio di chi vorrebbe andare a The Fest in futuro, e ammesso che tutto si svolga nelle stesse date di quest'anno (30/31 ottobre, 1 novembre), segnalo che prima di Gainesville potete fare un divertente fuori program- ma a Key West, la punta meridionale degli Stati Uniti. Da Miami sono 300 km verso sud, direzione opposta rispetto a Gainesville. Se ci arrivate potete partecipare al Fantasy Festival, un po' street parade un po' mardi gras, che prevede sostanzialmente un marea di gente nuda nel centro di Key West. Immaginate di esserne all'oscuro, di essere al Green Parrot con una birra in mano aspettando che si esibiscano i Red Elvises (improbabili sin dal nome, di origine russa e autori di Surfing in SIberia!) e di iniziare ad avvistare 50/60enni molto discinti. Lo stupore non è poco, ed è destinato ad aumentare nel giro di 2/3 ore. Il premio (nostro) alla fine è andato a una coppia d'oro, lui sacerdote con bibbia in mano, lei interamente scoperta nella sua tutina di rete con taglio strategico... Un paio di giorni dopo ci descriveranno Key West come la meta dei "burned out hippies with money", e a posteriori scoprirò che Fantasy Fest è ben più longeva di The Fest e che nel 2009 ha celebrato “30 anni di dissolutezza e depravazione”! PRE THE FEST pt. 2 Nei giorni precedenti The Fest le maggiori città di accesso a Gainesville ospitano numerosi concerti di apertura. Giovedì 29, nel retro dello skatepark di Tampa, quello che ospita un paio dei contest statunitensi più importanti, c’erano ad esempio una ventina di gruppi. I Casting Out di Nathan Gray (ex Boy Sets Fire) facevano tappa a Jacksonville. Ma forti di un piano ben preciso siamo saliti via Orlando, per incrociare il tour Bridge 9 che sarebbe poi stato smembrato all’interno del festival ufficiale. Orlando vive su Disneyland e altri 100 parchi simili nelle vicinanze, la città non sembra meritare una visita troppo approfondita e quindi ci si divide tra l’esposizione di Peter Beste, il fotografo del black metal scandinavo, e The Social, dove i Ruiner aprono la serata con puntualità disarmante. Hardcore punk piuttosto quadrato e una certa attitudine alla Rollins sul palco. Seguono i Crime in Stereo, più orecchiabili e veloci, che mitigano la propria aggressività con delle aperture (fin troppo) melodiche, e poi i Polar Bear Club, headliner morali della serata. Dalla loro parte hanno il pubblico, un ottimo frontman e soprattutto le canzoni; favoloso l’ultimo Chasing Hamburg, che viene rifatto in buona parte, a partire da Living Saints, con la sua derivazione Hot Water Music arricchita di una notevole vivacità. Jim- my Stadt non si concede pause e trascina l’intero club per una buona mezz’ora, sempre con il sorriso stampato in faccia. Già a Milano, di spalla ai Gaslight Anthem, se ne poteva intuire il potenziale, non a caso a Gainesville saranno i protagonisti di una serata cui però non parteciperemo. A chiudere, gli Strike Anywhere che in 10 anni di vita sono già veterani, sempre divertenti sul palco, onestissimi e un po’ intrap- polati nel loro hardcore melodico. Oserei dire che Thomas Barnett indossa la stessa maglietta dei Clash ogni volta che lo vedo, ma l’applauso lo merita sempre, essendo tra l’altro uno dei pochi che cerca di dire due cose intelligenti tra un pezzo e l’altro. 6 7 Matt Smith, chitarrista - Strike Anyhwere mero dei gruppi.

  • The Direct Action Politics of US Punk Collectives
    DIY Democracy 23 DIY Democracy: The Direct Action Politics of U.S. Punk Collectives Dawson Barrett Somewhere between the distanced slogans and abstract calls to arms, we . discovered through Gilman a way to give our politics some application in our actual lives. Mike K., 924 Gilman Street One of the ideas behind ABC is breaking down the barriers between bands and people and making everyone equal. There is no Us and Them. Chris Boarts-Larson, ABC No Rio Kurt Cobain once told an interviewer, “punk rock should mean freedom.”1 The Nirvana singer was arguing that punk, as an idea, had the potential to tran- scend the boundaries of any particular sound or style, allowing musicians an enormous degree of artistic autonomy. But while punk music has often served as a platform for creative expression and symbolic protest, its libratory potential stems from a more fundamental source. Punk, at its core, is a form of direct action. Instead of petitioning the powerful for inclusion, the punk movement has built its own elaborate network of counter-institutions, including music venues, media, record labels, and distributors. These structures have operated most notably as cultural and economic alternatives to the corporate entertainment industry, and, as such, they should also be understood as sites of resistance to the privatizing 0026-3079/2013/5202-023$2.50/0 American Studies, 52:2 (2013): 23-42 23 24 Dawson Barrett agenda of neo-liberalism. For although certain elements of punk have occasion- ally proven marketable on a large scale, the movement itself has been an intense thirty-year struggle to maintain autonomous cultural spaces.2 When punk emerged in the mid-1970s, it quickly became a subject of in- terest to activists and scholars who saw in it the potential seeds of a new social movement.

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.

  • American Punk: the Relations Between Punk Rock, Hardcore, and American Culture
    American Punk: The Relations between Punk Rock, Hardcore, and American Culture Gerfried Ambrosch ABSTRACT Punk culture has its roots on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite continuous cross-fertiliza- tion, the British and the American punk traditions exhibit distinct features. There are notable aesthetic and lyrical differences, for instance. The causes for these dissimilarities stem from the different cultural, social, and economic preconditions that gave rise to punk in these places in the mid-1970s. In the U. K., punk was mainly a movement of frustrated working-class youths who occupied London’s high-rise blocks and whose families’ livelihoods were threatened by a declin- ing economy and rising unemployment. Conversely, in America, punk emerged as a middle-class phenomenon and a reaction to feelings of social and cultural alienation in the context of suburban life. Even city slickers such as the Ramones, New York’s counterpart to London’s Sex Pistols and the United States’ first ‘official’ well-known punk rock group, made reference to the mythology of suburbia (not just as a place but as a state of mind, and an ideal, as well), advancing a subver- sive critique of American culture as a whole. Engaging critically with mainstream U.S. culture, American punk’s constitutive other, punk developed an alternative sense of Americanness. Since the mid-1970s, punk has produced a plethora of bands and sub-scenes all around the world. This phenomenon began almost simultaneously on both sides of the Atlantic—in London and in New York, to be precise—and has since spread to the most remote corners of the world.

  • Leila El Bashir Serious Listeners of Music Often Talk About Their Favorite Songs and Bands in Terms of Their Favorite Genres, Ho
    THE DEATH OF PUNK: REINCARNATION OF A DEAD GENRE Leila El Bashir Serious listeners of music often talk about their favorite songs and bands in terms of their favorite genres, however, most listeners do not have a clear conception of what it means for a piece of music to be categorized in a specific genre. Genre is a form of classification that most people correlate strictly with musical style, that is, the way a song sounds. People do not realize that genres today are becoming more like artificial categories defined by the music industry and popular culture to commodify and commercialize music. This popular culture can be summed up to what Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer, in The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception, terms the culture industry. They suggest that culture and its products, such as music, are being commodified and that culture as a common denominator already contains in its embryo that schematisation and process of cataloguing and classification which bring culture within the sphere of administration (7). In this way, genres can be viewed as a branch of the culture industry, being a form of classification that can be managed by culture administration. Therefore, one can see how culture and genre interact. Furthermore, David Brackett in his article, Musical meaning: genres, categories, and crossover, suggests how genres are more than musical style: Genres bring with them connotations about music and identity which may encode specific affective qualities such as conformity, rebelliousness, commercialism, selling out, art for arts sake; and may encode a whole variety of social characteristics (66).
