Anthony Bellore Introduction Masculinity in Rock Music

How's it going, everybody?  Welcome to the blog of yours truly, Anthony Bellore.  Here I will be discussing the topic of masculinity in the Rock music genre.  Rock music has always been one of my favorite genres of music, and it's evident how rock has become gendered as being a masculine type of music, despite the fact that there are many woman musicians in the rock scene.

To go along with this, I will also be discussing the representation of the gay community in rock music.  Even though rock music is seen as a masculine genre of music, two of the most famous rockers of all time were gay; Freddie Mercury and Rob Halford.

Along with this, I'll be talking about the masculine dominant culture of southern rock music.  Southern rock has many rebellious lyrics that are anti-authority, dominant of women, and about fighting and drinking.  I want to talk about why their mindset is this way, and why they choose to act in such a manner.
