The Politics of Post-9/11 Music: Sound, Trauma, and the Music Industry in the Time of Terror
Brian Flota
Seeking to extend discussions of 9/11 music beyond the acts typically associated with the September 11th attacks?U2, Toby Keith, The Dixie Chicks, Bruce Springsteen?this collection interrogates the politics of a variety of post-9/11 music scenes. Contributors add an aural dimension to what has been a visual conceptualization of this important moment in US history by articulating the role that lesser-known contemporary musicians have played?or have refused to play?in constructing a politics of protest in direct response to the trauma inflicted that day. Encouraging new conceptualizations of what constitutes 'political music,' The Politics of Post-9/11 Music covers topics as diverse as the rise of Internet music distribution, Christian punk rock, rap music in the Obama era, and nostalgia for 1960s political activism.
