Major Labels : A History of Popular Music in Seven Genres
Music Genre History - Book - by Kelefa Sanneh
(2021)
From his own adolescence, when his allegiance was to punk rock, to his
work as one of the essential voices of our time on music and culture at
the New York Times and the New Yorker, Kelefa Sanneh has made a deep
study of how our popular music unites and divides us. Distilling a
career's worth of knowledge, Sanneh explores the tribes music forms, and
how its genres, shape-shifting across the years, give us a way to track
larger forces and concerns. He debunks cherished myths, reappraises
beloved heroes and upends familiar ideas of musical greatness, arguing
that sometimes the best popular music isn't transcendent: it expresses
our grudges as well as our hopes, and is motivated by greed as well as
inspiration.
Throughout, race is a powerful touchstone: just as
there's always been a 'Black' audience and a 'white' audience (with some
overlap) there is Black music and white music and a whole lot of
expropriation. This is a book to shock and awe the deepest music nerd,
and at the same time to work as a heady gateway drug for the
uninitiated.
