Description
Media Narratives in Popular Music examines how music is represented in various media publications. It challenges the way these narratives are constructed and the histories they create. These mediated histories often rely on simplifications, exaggerations, and omissions, resulting in one-dimensional interpretations of music scenes and genres. This book questions the basis of these constructions, highlighting alternative perspectives that have been overlooked. The book explores a range of topics, including consumerism, documentary production, punk fanzines, and more, to shed new light on the complexities of popular music.
