Abstract Details

2016, BA, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of History.
The growth and splintering of the heavy metal music industry resulted in the subgenre "lite" metal, who incorporated androgyny into their style and imagery. The androgyny of this subgenre, the emergence of Music Television resulting in questions of authenticity, and the masculinist culture surrounding heavy metal marginalized female musicians in the rock music industry. Female musicians do not receive credibility and respect as metal musicians unless they conform to the masculinist standards perserved by heavy metal audiences.
