    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.

What are important to this work are the contributions and influence of nightlife subculture to greater New York City history through fashion, music, and art. I intend to prove that, in combination with the city’s gradual revanchism of neighborhood properties, the self-destructive nature of this after-hours sector has led to its own demise.

  • Rush's Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation
    Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 7 (2016): Rush’s Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation Rush’s Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation: Extending “Freedom Songs” into the Progressive Rock Genre Brett A. Barnett Associate Professor of Communication Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania [email protected] Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 7 (2016): Rush’s Lyrical Rhetoric of Oppression and Liberation 2 On April 18, 2013, members of the Canadian power trio Rush were among the artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a well-deserved honor that was long overdue. Formed in August 1968, Rush would join artists like Pink Floyd and Yes in shaping the music movement that would come to be categorized as “progressive” rock, or “prog rock,” a rock music sub-genre that Rush. Photo credit: By Enrico Frangi (Uploaded by User:Jonasz) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons also developed in the late 1960s.1 As reflected in the music of Rush, progressive rock involves more advanced musical forms, including an expanded instrumental palette and increased com- plexity in terms of instrumentation, as well as more sophisticated lyrical themes ranging from unconventional subject matter to increased social commentary. After years playing on the Toronto music scene, Rush formed their own label, Moon Records, and shortly thereafter released their first album, Rush, in 1974.2 Rush’s self-titled debut album did not garner much attention until Cleveland’s WMMS (100.7 FM), widely regarded as one of the most influential rock radio stations in North America,

  • The Marriage of the Goth and EDM/Rave Scenes
    The Marriage of the Goth and EDM/Rave Scenes The intersection between the goth and EDM scenes is nothing new, and does not seem to be going away. From the onset of rave culture and tours, which really began in the UK, the artists and DJs who were involved had the tenacity, energy and rebellious attitudes that are also characteristic of the modern goth subculture. Among the most notable of these artists are The Prodigy. If you look at the themes of the very first series of NYC “Club Kids” parties, Michael Alig’s Disco 2000 nights, put on at The Limelight, Peter Gatien’s then-notorious nightclub, a pattern emerges. The commonality among those events (besides copious drug use), was their hosts’ and guests’ individualistic, expressive costumes, which often crossed into the gory, dark and freaky realm. In the mid-to late ’90s and into the 2000s, raves began to incorporate similar themes. Today, it is not unusual to see partygoers sporting gothic attire and accessories, or even straight-up frightening getups. In the local club scene, for 15 years Providence’s Club Hell was a beacon of joy for alternative nightclub enthusiasts, both for its solid array of dance and rock music, and its S&M-inspired vibe. Hell was a place where you could participate in flogging (or sensual whippings) on stage, if you so chose. If you weren’t into that, however, that was totally cool, too. In fact, when it closed in late 2011, the club was praised for its acceptance of people of all ages, backgrounds, sexual orientations and styles of dress.

  • The Electronic Music Scene's Spatial Milieu
    The electronic music scene’s spatial milieu How space and place influence the formation of electronic music scenes – a comparison of the electronic music industries of Berlin and Amsterdam Research Master Urban Studies Hade Dorst – 5921791 [email protected] Supervisor: prof. Robert Kloosterman Abstract Music industries draw on the identity of their locations, and thrive under certain spatial conditions – or so it is hypothesized in this article. An overview is presented of the spatial conditions most beneficial for a flourishing electronic music industry, followed by a qualitative exploration of the development of two of the industry’s epicentres, Berlin and Amsterdam. It is shown that factors such as affordable spaces for music production, the existence of distinctive locations, affordability of living costs, and the density and type of actors in the scene have a significant impact on the structure of the electronic music scene. In Berlin, due to an abundance of vacant spaces and a lack of (enforcement of) regulation after the fall of the wall, a world-renowned club scene has emerged. A stricter enforcement of regulation and a shortage of inner-city space for creative activity in Amsterdam have resulted in a music scene where festivals and promoters predominate. Keywords economic geography, electronic music industry, music scenes, Berlin, Amsterdam Introduction The origins of many music genres can be related back to particular places, and in turn several cities are known to foster clusters of certain strands of the music industry (Lovering, 1998; Johansson and Bell, 2012). This also holds for electronic music; although the origins of techno and house can be traced back to Detroit and Chicago respectively, these genres matured in Germany and the Netherlands, especially in their capitals Berlin and Amsterdam.

  • "Ersatz As the Day Is Long": Japanese Popular
    “ERSATZ AS THE DAY IS LONG”: JAPANESE POPULAR MUSIC, THE STRUGGLE FOR AUTHNETICITY, AND COLD WAR ORIENTALISM Robyn P. Perry A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2021 Committee: Walter Grunden, Advisor Jeremy Wallach © 2021 Robyn P. Perry All Rights Reserve iii ABSTRACT Walter Grunden, Advisor During the Allied Occupation of Japan, Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers (SCAP) Douglas MacArthur set forth on a mission to Americanize Japan. One way SCAP decided this could be done was by utilizing forms of media that were already popular in Japan, particularly the radio. The Far East Network (FEN), a network of American military radio and television stations in Japan, Okinawa, Guam, and the Philippines, began to broadcast American country & western music. By the early 1950s, Japanese country & western ensembles would begin to form, which initiated the evolution toward modern J-pop. During the first two decades of the Cold War, performers of various postwar subgenres of early Japanese rock (or J-rock), including country & western, rockabilly, kayōkyoku, eleki, and Group Sounds, would attempt to break into markets in the West. While some of these performers floundered, others were able to walk side-by-side with several Western greats or even become stars in their own right, such as when Kyu Sakamoto produced a number one hit in the United States with his “Sukiyaki” in 1963. The way that these Japanese popular music performers were perceived in the West, primarily in the United States, was rooted in centuries of Orientalist preconceptions about Japanese people, Japanese culture, and Japan that had recently been recalibrated to reflect the ethos of the Cold War.

Introduction There are many beginnings to the history of Electronic Dance Music (EDM). It would be a mistake to exclude the impact that disco had upon house, techno, acid house, and dance music in general. While disco evolved mostly in the dance capital of America (New York), it proposed the idea that danceable songs could be mixed smoothly together, allowing for long term dancing to previously recorded music. Prior to the disco era, nightlife dancing was restricted to bands or jukeboxes, which limited variety and options of songs and genres. The selections of the DJs mattered more than their technical excellence at mixing.

  • The Media Coverage of Chicago‟S Public Housing Transformation
    Friend or Foe? The Media Coverage of Chicago‟s Public Housing Transformation Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Schoene, B.A. Graduate Program in Sociology The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Dr. Rachel Dwyer, Advisor Dr. Andrew Martin Dr. Claudia Buchmann Copyright by Matthew Schoene 2011 Abstract How does the newspaper participate in public housing reform battles? Contemporary urban theory suggests that the local media tends to support elite actors in their quest for urban growth and redevelopment, but social movement research demonstrates that the press has the power to either help or harm groups. For low-income groups, media attention plays an especially important role. This question has consequences for both urban theory and social movement tactics, but it is unclear if media coverage is biased in any way, what factors motivate the media to pay attention in the first place, and how these factors contribute to both supportive and unsupportive coverage. This paper conceptualizes housing battles as a social movement and focuses on Chicago‟s Plan for Transformation, the most radical example of public housing reform to date. A content analysis of a sample of Chicago Tribune newspaper articles indicates that newspaper coverage was skewed towards the pro-development side, but only slightly. Negative binomial regression then indicates that case-specific group actions rather than contextual, city-level issues better explain variation in both supportive and unsupportive coverage of the issue. Implications for urban theory, social movement strategy and future research are discussed.

A lot of kids seem to worship Micahel Alig without knowing who or what they are idolizing. The real deal was not very charming and few people I know have anything nice to say about him. It is a documentary of the times, when parties would spring up at a moments notice and the most commonplace could become a happening. The creativity and fun drained out as the Party Monster: A Fabulous But True Tale of Murder in Clubland took over. The glamour had faded and it became messy, inchoherent and just plain sad. Still, James St. James manages to tell it all, honestly and with a sense of elan. Since the death of "Downtow" there has never been a thing to ever replace it. It was a time and a place that so many cling to though media representations. You had to be there or you will have never understood it. James St. This story is smart, witty and shockingly TRUE.

HERE, THERE & EVERYWHERE Rock music, mass culture & the counter culture Rock music has always been at odds with mass culture. It is at the same time one of its essential components and among its most vocal critics. Rock benefits from mass culture's economic framework and in return feeds it with its remarkable energy. But musicians and fans alike have repeatedly expressed feelings of uneasiness or even downright rejection at this close interdependence. It is precisely such tensions that give rock music its momentum. The ambivalent nature of rock music as regards mass culture stems in fact from a well known dichotomy that permeates most 20th- century analyses of cultural productions. For Marxian or Veblenian1 criticism, the ideological contents of rock music derive from its economic status.
