Abstract
Chapter 4 surveys three other DC hardcore bands— State of Alert, Government Issue, and Faith, focuses on how their music constructs—and at times, complicates—conventional representations of (white, privileged) masculinity. The chapter looks at the texture, timbre, volume, and lyrical content of S.O.A., GI, and Faith’s combined five albums through the lenses of hegemonic masculinity: anger and aggression, emphatic sexuality, and the privilege of power and control.
