Description
Using David Brackett's notions of genrification and iterative emergence from his book Categorizing Sound (2016) and his introductory essay to the 2023 special issue of Volume! « La fin des genres musicaux ? », I begin with counterarguments to discourses that proclaim the notion of musical genre to be obsolete or dead in some way. I then show through two case studies--efforts at taxonomizing extreme metal vocal styles and empirical studies of fan responses to sound clips of extreme metal vocals--that genre is a fruitful theoretical lens for maxing sense of empirical data and unifying existing theories of musical expression.| Period | 5 Nov 2025 |
