Boy Bands and the Performance of Pop Masculinity provides a history
of the boy band from the Beatles to One Direction, placing the
modern male pop group within the wider context of twentieth- and
twenty-first-century popular music and culture. Offering the first
extended look at pop masculinity as exhibited by boy bands, this
volume links the evolving expressions of gender and sexuality in
the boy band to wider economic and social changes that have
resulted in new ways of representing what it is to be a man. The
popularity of boy bands is unquestionable, and their contributions
to popular music are significant, yet they have attracted
relatively little study. This book fills that gap with chapters
exploring the challenges of defining the boy band phenomenon, its
origins and history from the 1940s to the present, the role of
management and marketing, the performance of gender and sexuality,
and the nature of fandom and fan agency. Throughout, the author
illuminates the ways in which identity politics influence the
production and consumption of pop music and shows how the
mainstream pop of boy bands can both reinforce and subvert gender
and class hierarchies.
