In this talk to be held 9 April at 7:00 p.m. ET, Dipiero contextualizes the approach to studying indie rock before outlining some core examples from Big Feelings: Queer and Feminist Indie Rock After Riot Grrrl. Jump back in time to discuss the original indie music scene in the UK of the 1980s, and how gendered dynamics obscured the contributions of indie pop at the time. Discover the lasting impact of this movement on younger generations, where indie-pop languages mix together with a harder, alt-rock sound associated in public consciousness with white/male pain.
