Description

Explore the complex relationship between musical expression and social commentary in This is the Sound of Irony: Music, Politics and Popular Culture. Part of the Ashgate Popular and Folk Music Series, this collection examines how irony functions within the music industry, performance, and political messaging. While composers and critics have used irony for centuries, its role in popular music is particularly significant because it is fundamental to how music is made, sold, and received. This scholarly work brings together various contributors to analyze irony found in musical notes, lyrics, and subtext. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how irony connects to comedy and tragedy through different lenses of reception and criticism. Whether you are studying the politics of pop culture or the technical aspects of musical performance, this book provides a detailed look at a concept that is pervasive across the modern musical landscape.
