Opening up the dialogue between popular music studies and aging
studies, this book offers a major exploration of age and popular
music across Europe. Using a variety of methods to illustrate how
age within popular music is contingent and compelling, the volume
explores how it provokes curation and devotion across a variety of
sites and artists who record in several European languages, and
genres including waltz music, electronica, pop, folk, rap, and the
French 'chanson.' Visiting the many ways in which age is
problematized, revered, and performed within Europe in relation to
popular music, case studies analyze: French touring shows of
popular music stars from the 1960s; Andre Rieu's annual Vrijthof
concerts in the Netherlands; Kraftwerk and Bjoerk's appearances at
renowned art museums as curated objects; queer approaches to
popular music space and time; British folk music inheritances;
pan-European strategies of stardom and career longevity; and
inheritance and post-colonial hauntings of race and identity. The
book works with the notion of travelling, across borders, genres,
sexualities, and media, highlighting the visibility of the aging
body across a variety of European sites in order to establish
popular music through the lens of age as a positive methodology
with which to approach popular music cultures, and to offer a
counter-narrative to age as decline. This book will appeal to
scholars of popular music, popular culture, media studies, cultural
studies, aging studies, and cultural gerontology.
