Description

Uncompromising and innovative, hardcore punk in Washington, DC, birthed a new sound and nurtured a vibrant subculture aimed at a specific segment of the city\x27s youth. Shayna L. Maskell explores DC\x27s hardcore scene during its short but storied peak. Led by bands like Bad Brains and Minor Threat, hardcore in the nation\x27s capital unleashed music as angry and loud as it was fast and minimalistic. Maskell examines the music\x27s aesthetics and the unique impact of DC\x27s sociopolitical realities on the sound and the scene that emerged. As she shows, aspects of the music\x27s structure merged with how bands performed it to put across distinctive representations of race, class, and gender. But those representations could be as complicated and contradictory as they were explicit. A fascinating analysis of a punk rock hotbed, Politics as Sound tells the story of how a generation created music that produced\-\-and resisted\-\-politics and power. About the Author Shayna L. Maskell is an assistant professor in the School of Integrative Studies at George Mason University.
