The historical significance of music-makers, music scenes, and
music genres has long been mediated through academic and popular
press publications such as magazines, films, and television
documentaries. Media Narratives in Popular Music examines these
various publications and questions how and why they are
constructed. It considers the typically linear narratives that are
based on simplifications, exaggerations, and omissions and the
histories they construct - an approach that leads to totalizing
“official” histories that reduce otherwise messy narratives to
one-dimensional interpretations of a heroic and celebratory nature.
This book questions the basis on which these mediated histories are
constructed, highlights other, hidden, histories that have
otherwise been neglected, and explores a range of topics including
consumerism, the production pressure behind documentaries, punk
fanzines, Rolling Stones covers, and more.
