  • Today I'm responding to a wonderful thinkpiece Salon published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which claims that the seminal album forever ruined rock music for women. Brace yourselves, this might just be the foulest stinker yet.

    so the Beatles, by becoming more experimental and interesting, killed their female audience and became only for men? so is she trying to say that only men care about the art of music and women only like commercialized music? that's pretty insulting to women, tbh

      When marketing to the largest group of females one can get, the music quality is lacking and the singers must be good looking. Recent music trends toward females cut away the spectacular singing ability too so now every song now sounds like a camp fire song that anybody can sing and play. All of this has nothing to do with the Beatles.

I take pride in my music taste. Don't expect me to toss out albums "Whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not", "Unknown Pleasures" or "Doolittle" (to name a few) just because this backwards woman online says I should.

      The most painful thing is that people are antagonizing terms like feminism because some horrendous extremist use it as a flag to excuse their behaviour.
      It's really like forcing yourself into a place where you can act out the victim role which they think would give them a ton of priveledges.
      Of course the easiest thing is just to say you're always a victim because you're a woman or something.

      Exactly, I get it that there is more LGBT and women oriented music that is fun and vibrant. The thing is, the instrumentals and production are fun and vibrant, now the lyrics can be whatever: deep, shallow, happy, sad, etc. A lot of “very gay” songs actually are incredibly dark and deep.
      The cultural problem Amanda is trying to talk about is the diminishing of these types of music because of their main audiences, but she fails so much. Women and LGBT oriented music is not shallow and easy to listen, what kind of defines it is sounding flamboyant and vibrant (drag queeny). The fight is to prove how deep and nuanced this type of music can be, not attack deepness

      @janosmarothy5409 Před 7 lety +24

      the thing is, your sarcasm unintentionally(?) has a grain of truth and more worrying, there are actually really dumb classical snobs who would unironically agree with your post :/
      If you will allow me a music history ramble: the notion that we have to sit and contemplate a work of art on its own terms is actually a very modern one bound up with the emergence of capitalism and, with it, the commodification of art production. think about it: in Mozart's day, the opera hall was actually a very noisy space with lots of chatter and applause... now there's a whole stuffy etiquette about when one applauds and concert halls are meant to be as silent as the grave for Serious Contemplation. A cultural shift happened between then and now, expressive of deeper economic and political shifts.
      Mozart is a kind of "transition" between the composer as an ARTIST in the modern sense who produces independently for the market, and the composer as basically a really expensive songbird who is a member of the household of his aristocratic patrons. Beethoven is a handy historiographical milestone, roughly coinciding with the French Revolution, in marking the world-historic shift to ~**MODERNITY**~
      people seldom look at this critically, so once in a while some edgy wannabe know-it-all dismisses some of Mozart as "light and frilly" (and yes, effete) whereas Beethoven is more "serious" and "profound" (and yes, also "more manly")

    • @SayItAintTso
      @SayItAintTso Před 7 lety +12

      I totally agree with you--my teenybop/Mozart analogy was meant to reflect what I've heard other folks say (I'm majoring in music at a university, so I hear people talk about this all the time). I wanted to draw a comparison between the two arguments (and their ridiculousness). I actually think the lady in the original article brought up an interesting point about the cultural association between femininity and certain musical styles--but instead of criticizing the ridiculousness of this association and celebrating the progressive women who embrace and advance the more "serious" genres, she patronizes women by implying they are confined within these "light and frilly" styles.

    I just tried to read the original article and I couldn't make it past the "grunge" part. Grunge was literally the progressive reaction to the systemic misogyny that dominated the music scene at the time. Yeah, grunge knocked Michael Jackson off the charts. You know who else it knocked off the charts? "Cock-rock" hair bands. Kurt Cobain constantly spoke of feminist values, denounced "macho" douchebaggery, and wrote multiple anti-rape songs (happily risking the alienation of the frat bros in his audience). Eddie Vedder literally wrote "Pro-Choice" on his arm during a high-profile concert. How can a writer masquerade as a feminist while assuming women aren't capable of appreciating musical styles that don't cater to their man-assigned stereotypes??

      "The black labor organization, the A. Philip Randolph Institute, and Common Cause sued, saying the law was meant to discourage minority voters who overwhelmingly choose Democrats."
      And as an aside while we're on the topic: "[...]the elimination of the procedure would slow the voting process and create long lines in precincts where African Americans are most likely to vote."

You can tell she hasn't even listened to the album, she just saw "Sgt Pepper 50th" in the news and thought to herself "Hmmm, how can I be a victim of this??".

    I feel like Revolver would've been bigger than Sgt. Pepper's if John didn't make the "We are bigger than Jesus" comment in 1966. It took most of the attention away from the album. Focusing only on John's comments, which caused riots against The Beatles from hardcore Christians in the south. Revolver to me is actually more ahead of its time than Sgt Pepper's. Bands today still try to sound like the Beatles Revolver era.

    • @littlejimmyscumbag2551
      @littlejimmyscumbag2551 Před 7 lety +24

      I agree fully. Revolver was the most innovative album they ever made and had John not made the stupid statement it could have perhaps been looked at in that way. Instead the attention was on John's word rather than what remarkable album came out that year completely changing pop music and pop culture.

    The issue I feel with modern music journalism is either it being mind numbingly bland or it being a series of mind numbing attempts to gender, politicise and find problems for every record released. It creates a pressure for musicians (pop especially) to box themselves as being a sole 'political' movement.

    • @pietrayday9915
      @pietrayday9915 Před 6 lety +1

      Most of my experience with music journalism is with metal music journalism, and so I'll add to the list of complaints about it my complaint that modern music journalism - or at least modern metal music journalism - tends to be more about the journalist than the music. Maybe that's not just metal journalism - perhaps the fact that modern journalists are just talking about themselves, showing off, and patting themselves on the back contributes to the other problems with music journalism in general, specifically that it tends to be bland, mind-numbing, and focused on goofy identity-issues that the journalist can use to show off for the readers with?

    The great thing about the Beatles is that their musical style kind of grew alongside the development of their original teenage girl audience. A 14-year-old girl who stanned the Beatles in '64 would've been 17 by the time Sgt. Pepper's came out - between those ages most people change quite a lot and I can imagine a lot of those core fans would've seen their personal development during the growing pains of teenagehood reflected in the ever-changing musical style of their favourite band.

      Lucas It is true. So I guess you are claiming that a act has sold more albums? Care to name them?

    I love how she says EDM is a disco rip-off. There's an entire genre of electronic music called Nu-Disco which in some respect pays tribute to disco, when disco was at it's peak it contained for the most part almost no synthesizers or drum machines or samples. Plus, have you ever been to or watched footage of a live EDM show? There are as many women in the crowd as men often times.

    Beatles in 1965: "Guys, we've been appealing to all these women who've been buying all our records, we've got groupies chasing us around everywhere we go... Let's just chuck that all away because MEN, am I right?"

    I came across this article through a thread on /mu/. I was hoping it'd find its way to you and be worthy of doing a stink piece on. I love these stink pieces. Always insightful and entertaining.

    It's incredible how much she insults the capacity and intelligence of her fellow females in this piece. Apparently she thinks that "Great Art" and classy music with themes and expressions of a message are for males only, and that females are restricted to listening to repetitive poppy dance music because that's the extent of what they can comprehend.
