The evidence of death and dying has been removed from the everyday
lives of most Westerners. Yet we constantly live with the awareness
of our vulnerability as mortals. Drawing on a range of genres,
bands and artists, Mortality and Music examines the ways in which
popular music has responded to our awareness of the inevitability
of death and the anxiety it can evoke. Exploring bereavement,
depression, suicide, violence, gore, and fans' responses to the
deaths of musicians, it argues for the social and cultural
significance of popular music's treatment of mortality and the
apparent absurdity of existence.
