  1. MUSIC AND IDENTITY: CONNECTIONS BETWEEN MUSIC AND IDENTITY FORMATION IN TEENAGERS By Carly Haines & Nadine Schneider BTMM 8441; Prof. Lombard April 23, 2009

  2. Marilyn Manson: Pure Evil or Pure Genius • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6O4sw4NmMM

  3. Theories of Music Influences • Social Learning Theory: Children and teenagers take what they see and use it as a reference for later actions. By identifying with different media or performers and the content, the consumer takes the information from the content and and make into their own. • Excitation Transfer Theory: Suggests media are stimuli that excite the potential aggression or violent behaviors that might lead teens to interpreting these expressions in harmful or destructive ways. • Displacement Theory: Used to understand the way audiences transfer and change their media patterns once a new medium is introduced. They pass the way they use one media as a guide on how to use the other.

  4. Social Uses of Music • clubbing, partying, and in the ritual of preparing to go out. Music sets the mood. • “As a medium, music provides a prime example of the cultural and social shifts between the private space of the bedroom and public spaces such as the pub or club” (Lincoln, 2005, p.403).

  5. Self-Expression and Identity • “Music is a key vehicle for the expression and contestation of cultural identities at both a collective and personal level” (Baker, 2001, 360). • Genres of Music: goth, punk, heavy-metal, gangsta rap, hip-hop, folk. • Gangsta Rap: Snoop Dogg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6TUhx2wX0M • Heavy Metal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8F_KaILW6g&feature=channel_page • http://yourhereblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/costa500.jpg

  6. Emo: A Culture of Its Own

  7. Emo Examples: Emo: What it really is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxG7SQTRTec&feature=related Some call this Emo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtzNeSiVQeQ&feature=related “Mainstream” Emo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLlOxxfWXxw&feature=channel

  8. Politics and Music • “Our kids will probably protest too. Protest is an old thing. There is always a need for protest songs. You just gotta tap it.” --Bob Dylan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCDNaP11hwM • Examples of Music and Politics: Live AID 1985/2005; Vietnam War Woodstock 1969 Green Day’s American Idiot Inauguration 2009 concert • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLKKGHrGMxQ&feature=related

  9. Politics and Music continued… Inauguration 2009 “This Land is Your Land” -song by Woody Guthrie -performed in the 1960s by Bob Dylan and many others -Woody Guthrie used music as a form of activism (in the 1930s - 1950s) and his songs “…reflect his desire to give voice to those who had been disenfranchised”http://www.woodyguthrie.org/biography/biography3.htm • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5KnYADCSms

  10. Women in Music Riot grrrl was a manifestation of the feminist movement within the music industry to address “the threat of sexual violence, the need for spaces of creativity and communication, [and] the exclusivity of male subcultures” (Moore, 2007, p. 463). The presence of women in music gives girls the opportunity to see themselves as musicians and artists. Politics and Music continued… http://www.learntheguitarnow.com/img/public/courtney-love.jpg Music & Identity

  11. Behavior and Music • Columbine High School Massacre April 20, 1999 • The shootings by Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were blamed on their outsider status and violent media. Specifically, some accused Marilyn Manson of having a negative influence on these two kids. • After the shootings, some schools became hyper vigilant with banning anything “goth”, and this caused some discrimination (Goldberg, 1999). • A recent article (that talks about a new book on the subject) focused on the idea that their plans were so far reaching and elaborate that the only plausible explanation is that Harris and Klebold were psychologically disturbed (Toppo, 2009). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90xJVOUuV-I

  12. Questions • Does music affect teenagers? Or do the music preferences of teenagers reflect the identity they wish to project to the world? • Were you ever restricted in the types of music you could listen to? • Did anyone listen to Marilyn Manson or other artists who are considered “taboo”? What was your reason for listening? The music (beat, tempo, instruments) or the lyrics (relate to the feeling and themes presented)? • Is the research overlooking any aspect you think is pertinent to the study of music and children? • Does our culture need pop (mainstream) music as a way for large groups of people to share music together? • Does an artist lose credibility when his or her music reaches mainstream status? If so, why?
