Radiohead and the Journey Beyond Genre traces the uses and
transgressions of genre in the music of Radiohead and studies the
band's varied reception in online and offline media. Radiohead's
work combines traditional rock sounds with a unique and
experimental approach towards genre that sets the band apart from
the contemporary mainstream. A play with diverse styles and
audience expectations has shaped Radiohead's musical output and
opened up debates about genre amongst critics, fans, and academics
alike. Interpretations speak of a music that is referential of the
past but also alludes to the future. Applying both music- and
discourse-analytical methods, the book discusses how genre
manifests in Radiohead's work and how it is interpreted amongst
different audience groups. It explores how genre and generic
flexibility affect the listeners' search for musical meaning and
ways of discussion. This results in the development of a
theoretical framework for the study of genre in individual popular
music oeuvres that explores the equal validity of widely differing
forms of reception as a multidimensional network of meaning. While
Radiohead's music is the product of an eclectic mixture of musical
influences and styles, the book also shows how the band's
experimental stance has increasingly fostered debates about
Radiohead's generic novelty and independence. It asks what remains
of genre in light of its past or imminent transgression. Offering
new perspectives on popular music genre, transgression, and the
music and reception of Radiohead, the book will appeal to
academics, students, and those interested in Radiohead and matters
of genre. It contributes to scholarship in musicology, popular
music, media, and cultural studies.
