Description

Oh Boy! explores how masculinity has shaped popular music from the blues era through modern pop, examining performers from Muddy Waters and Elvis to Freddie Mercury, Jeff Buckley, and Justin Timberlake. The book traces the evolution of gendered personae in popular music, from the dominance of the classic blues singer to the emergence of the sensitive singer-songwriter movement. It analyses how male artists adopt and adapt various masculine identities as a form of artistic expression, and how these personas sometimes shift with age, cultural attitudes, and changing musical landscapes. Other times, performers become locked into rigid masculine archetypes that define their public image. This critical study by Routledge examines the intersection of gender performance and musical identity, revealing how popular music has both reflected and challenged conventional notions of masculinity across decades of cultural change.

Key Features

The book examines how masculinity operates as a performative element in popular music expression and artistry.

Routledge's analysis traces shifts in masculine personae as artists age and musical trends evolve over time.

The work explores the tension between authentic identity and the constructed masculine masks performers adopt for audiences.
