Kelefa Sanneh w/ Carl Wilson, Major Labels: Popular Music in Seven Genres, PMBiP 10/11/21

In this session Kelefa Sanneh will unfold his approach to telling American popular music’s story, through the many stories of rock, R&B, country, punk, hip-hop, dance, and pop, with some notes of memoir along the way. His new book Major Labels (Penguin Press) begins only after the 1960s, which too many standard histories still treat as a singular peak. From there he keeps turning his attention to unexpected cases of "the excellent, the popular, and the interesting,” without much concern for the cool and canonical His underlying thesis is that genre makes the action happen. Contrary to the lionization of “post-genre,” he says that genres form and gather tribes, keep music evolving, and help people define themselves through opposition as much as affinity. Carl Wilson will join Sanneh for a conversation about the interacting forces of taste, identity, commerce, and disagreement through the past half-century of American noise.
