  • “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson
    The Interplay of Authority, Masculinity, and Signification in the “Grunge Killed Glam Metal” Narrative by Holly Johnson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music and Culture Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Holly Johnson ii Abstract This thesis will deconstruct the "grunge killed '80s metal” narrative, to reveal the idealization by certain critics and musicians of that which is deemed to be authentic, honest, and natural subculture. The central theme is an analysis of the conflicting masculinities of glam metal and grunge music, and how these gender roles are developed and reproduced. I will also demonstrate how, although the idealized authentic subculture is positioned in opposition to the mainstream, it does not in actuality exist outside of the system of commercialism. The problematic nature of this idealization will be examined with regard to the layers of complexity involved in popular rock music genre evolution, involving the inevitable progression from a subculture to the mainstream that occurred with both glam metal and grunge. I will illustrate the ways in which the process of signification functions within rock music to construct masculinities and within subcultures to negotiate authenticity. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my academic advisor Dr. William Echard for his continued patience with me during the thesis writing process and for his invaluable guidance. I also would like to send a big thank you to Dr. James Deaville, the head of Music and Culture program, who has given me much assistance along the way.

    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • Emo Teens and the Rising Suicide Rate in SA
    Emo teens and the rising suicide rate in SA An alarming number of South African teens not only harm themselves, they are actively contemplating suicide. One group that's especially at risk is the subgroup known as Emos. "I could have stopped it… she was my best friend. I never thought it was this bad. You know… we all have problems. I thought it was just another bad day." These are the words of a young grade-10 learner who recently lost her best friend due to suicide. Suicide is the cause for almost one in 10 teenage deaths in South Africa and there is growing evidence that social media sites are in part to blame for this ever increasing figure. One group of teen 'outsiders', known as Emos, and who primarily use the Internet to connect with like-minded others, seems to be particularly at risk of suicide and suicidal behaviour such as self -harming. According to a 2012 Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) study that analysed the content of “Emo” teenage groups on Facebook they found there is indeed a connection between teen use of social media and the 'glamourisation' of suicidal behavior. Who are these emo kids? The Emo phenomenon (emo is an abbreviation for emotional) began in the U.S. in the 1980s and spread across the world, from the US to Europe, Russia, the Middle East and South Africa. It is a largely teenage trend and the members are characterised by depression and self harming - self-harm includes attempted suicide and what's known as self harming or non-suicidal self- injury (NSSI), along with the glamourisation of suicide.

Formados en 2006, y tras dos estupendos discos ("Makes You Look Around" y "House To House"), The Tripwires presentan ahora su tercer álbum bajo el título de GET YOUNG. Los componentes de THE TRIPWIRES son parte de la aristocracia musical de Seattle, veteranos supervivientes de la gran explosión sónica de su ciudad en los años 90s, que se mantienen saludablemente en activo haciendo la música que quieren. Grandísimos músicos que son o han sido parte fundamental de bandas de tanta calidad como YOUNG FRESH FELLOWS (Jim Sangster), MUDHONEY (Dan Peters), MODEL ROCKETS y THE MINUS 5 (John Ramberg), la banda original de NEKO CASE o MAGGIE BJÖRKLUND (Johnny Sangster), y muchas otras (y si es cuestión de dejar caer nombres ¡el batería Dan Peters tocó y grabó con los mismísimos NIRVANA!) Las principales señas de identidad de THE TRIPWIRES, muy patentes en “Get Young”, son la extraordinaria capacidad de John Ramberg para escribir inusuales pero pegadizas melodías (algo que ya hizo fantásticamente al frente de los Model Rockets), el talento de Johnny Sangster como guitarrista, arreglista y productor, y la delicada orfebrería vocal de sus canciones. Con influencias de bandas de los sesenta y los setenta (como The Zombies, The Hollies, Big Star, Brinsley Schwarz...), y el mejor power-pop nuevaolero (The Beat, The Knack, Squeeze), el rock&roll y el pop se dan la mano en “Get Young”.
