Artist: Kleenex
Song: Ain’t You Lyrics
Overview:
This analysis explores female-fronted punk/alternative rock bands and how their top song expresses emotions. I will be using The Sex-Role Perspective to examine what it means to be a woman according to women in a male-dominated genre. To best explore the Sex-Role Perspective, my analysis will consist of highlighting emotions that fall under stereotypically female and counter-stereotypical emotions pulled from Hyde (1995, p. 134).
Stereotypical emotions conveyed:
“Take your radio and your love”
- Breaking up (mostly female-led)
Contersterotypical emotions conveyed:
“Ain’t you wanna cut it out?”
- Aggressive
Conclusion:
This final post highlights someone telling a possible significant other to get out of their life after being caught in a lie and even though it is short, the tonation captures the anger the singer feels in learning that they lied.
