Popular music and masculinity have rarely been examined through the
lens of research into monstrosity. The discourses associated with
rock and pop, however, actually include more 'monsters' than might
at first be imagined. Attention to such individuals and cultures
can say things about the operation of genre and gender, myth and
meaning. Indeed, monstrosity has recently become a growing focus of
cultural theory. This is in part because monsters raise shared
concerns about transgression, subjectivity, agency, and community.
Attention to monstrosity evokes both the spectre of projection
(which invokes familial trauma and psychoanalysis) and shared
anxieties (that in turn reflect ideologies and beliefs). By
pursuing a series of insightful case studies, Scary Monsters
considers different aspects of the connection between music, gender
and monstrosity. Its argument is that attention to monstrosity
provides a unique perspective on the study of masculinity in
popular music culture.
