what is the most masculine genre of music?

Women's intuition

she had a rag of scarlet cloth that assumed the shape of the letter "A"

plenty of chicks at the primordial gig i went to see. thing is extreme metal styles are pretty theatrical on the whole, with bands like cradle of filth attracting a large female following (maybe one of the reasons they're generally shunned by "true" metal fans).

went to an immortal show this week and was surprised at how many women were there. was expecting an all dude affair.

the only two ppl i know went for sure to see immortal in ny were chix.

nyhc is def the most masculine shit ever. i have my radio show every week after a few old nyhc dudes from like the cro mags & murphy's law or w/e. they are super macho, masculine dudebros. they drink corona and slap each other on the back, talk about hahdcaw.

If you're talking about audiences, in my experience, improv tends to be pretty masculine: assuming there's anyone there at all!

hahaha.

with bands like cradle of filth attracting a large female following (maybe one of the reasons they're generally shunned by "true" metal fans).

More likely because they're a joke tbh ;)

in general, the noise and idm shows I've been to have had fewer women attending than metal shows

I remember calling no fun fest "no girls fest" when describing it to people one year

Was at a Peter Brotzmann gig the other week and there were three women there, I thought that was a pretty good turn out by the ladeez

^ not NYCHC but UKHC

too british. not masculine enough.

Bet you wouldn't say that to their face..

What does Bill Magill have to say on the matter

I look forward to the STOMP, STOMP, LEFT, STOMP, STOMP, RIGHT, I'LL BOX IN YA FACE TILL THERES NO TEETH LEFT! choreography being used by Simon Cowell for his next XFactor winner. Think the dance could take off?

shouldn't have thought so

daf

the amount of girls who show up to something isn't exactly any indication of whether something is "masculine" or not tho

I could see it working on the school playgrounds during a game of British Bulldog

Im a fan of bands like Alice Cooper and Blue Oyster Cult, who didnt have to be "masculine" to be fucking badass, so anytype of hyper-masculinity is unimpressive to me. That being said, Pantera, COC and some of those southern metal dudes maybe could be candidates for this thread.

Metal, prog and jazz require a some pencil-armed dude who's spent time practicing scales 'n shit, time that could have been better spent playing street hockey and eating Dunkin Munchkins and trimming your fingernails far past the cuticle.

this might be some subgenre of atonal music with an autistic fixation on complexity above all else, maybe idm or death metal or mathrock or something, with more performatively masculine genres often veering into kitsch

lumpen provincial hxc or thrash would win in terms of simple aggressiveness or misoygny though

misogyny, maybe

Orthrelm's OV is pretty masculine by your criteria

so uh by some of your definitions masculine=technical? because that seems weird to me.

yeah you should elaborate on that

something like

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_male_brain

i suppose? the privileging of internal logic over, you know, more obviously meretricious elements of music like tunes or w/e

I realise it's inevitable to an extent but there's def some conflation of 'masculinity' and 'things prominently practised by guys' here

^^^tip of hat to that DN, gotta say

by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy by men for men in a manly male ecstasy

idk, i think that resigning the idea of technicality to some sort of masculine trait is prob more sexist than most anything else on this thread. its prob something that hits me in the wrong spot in particular tho, because i spend lots of my time at work trying to dispel the whole "girls are only allowed to play strummy acoustic guitar" stereotypes.

not trying to be mr dude feminist here or anything

"by men for men in a manly male ecstasy" sounds v

like i said

ha, I didn't read the thread past that phrase. you otm.

I thought there would have been more comments on this part:

In pop music, unisex is unusual. Hip-hop, for example, includes a ton of women—but most of them are background singers or R & B vocalists making guest appearances. Female MCs often rap about subjects rooted in femaleness: wearing lip gloss, being ultrahot, screwing or not needing to screw guys. Women in hip-hop also tend to be glammed up like Foxy Brown, so you can't miss the important bits—if they dress like Missy Elliot, they come across as deliberately butch. Even in a genre like grunge, which has roots in metal, gender differences remain important—which is why the awesomely guttural early-90s Sub Pop band Dickless named themselves Dickless and wrote songs with names like "The C-Word" and "Saddle Tramp."

i think everybody is comfortable assuming that this guy doesn't understand hip hop and moving on

I assumed everybody did some quick math and decided that a misogyny in hip hop thread isn't gonna be much fun or at all productive

ha

have never thought of missy as butch

being ultrahot is also a difficult requirement for femaleness

i think everybody is comfortable assuming that this guy doesn't understand hip hop and moving on

I think you might be right there

I'm tempted to thrown on 'Male Stripper' right now so I can sing the above over "I was a male stripper in a gogo bar"

Okay I sort of skimmed through this thread and didn't really read it but at what point did we switch from talking about masculinity to talking about misogyny? Like, is it actually impossible to do identify something as "masculine" that isn't also dismissive of/belittling towards women, and isn't that kind of super depressing if it's true?
