Hope I will get a chance to read it sometime and form my own opinion. On the topic of women, POC, and LGBT in industrial these folks spring to my mind and I hope their roles in the genre were discussed with attention to their marginalized identities: <br />- Sinan Leong Revell <br />- Shikhee D'iordna <br />- Genesis P-Orridge <br />- Lydia Lunch <br /><br />In addition to the artists I think it's very important also to acknowledge and discuss people involved in writing about the genre who play a vital and crucial role in the development of the genre: <br />- V. Vale who founded RE/Search magazine<br />- Nadya & Mer of Coilhouse magazine <br />- You! :) <br /><br />Thanks again for the article!<br />ChrThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17405512810290606110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591033401994133438.post-49336301800045244882015-06-28T05:20:05.649-07:002015-06-28T05:20:05.649-07:00PS quote in footnote #7 is the quote I've been...PS quote in footnote #7 is the quote I've been waiting for forever and is basically how I feel when I think about how we navigate the importance of expression vs when that expression is useless exploitation for the sake of histrionic attention.Corvus Strigiformhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669230784451094769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591033401994133438.post-33774433388942696602015-06-28T05:11:53.356-07:002015-06-28T05:11:53.356-07:00I want to say I am going to read this article bett...I want to say I am going to read this article better again after I am more recovered from surgery but a few things before that:<br /><br />1. Love that you analyzed this so well and in depth. I like that you talk about things you like while also being critical.<br /><br />2. Thou Shalt Not is either from my city or played here a lot when they first got started and so I've seen them from their tiny baby days. Not bad. And I also remember their gender expressionness being on the non-macho side which is good. Also, they would have experienced me when I was a teenager still on drugs and without radical analysis, which makes me think we've both changed a lot.<br /><br />3. S. Alexander Reed commenting here with humility and thanking for the critique brought a smile to my face for the possibility of learning new things and better future for this scene.<br /><br />4. Anarchiteutis (I probably spelled wrong) you are a gem in the world of feminist and radical thought I am so proud to share this blog with you.Corvus Strigiformhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669230784451094769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591033401994133438.post-30371703965086118862015-06-27T22:10:13.744-07:002015-06-27T22:10:13.744-07:00Many, many thanks for your really thoughtful revie...Many, many thanks for your really thoughtful review. You've clarified a variety of areas that could indeed stand to be improved—some of which I was somewhat aware of and a few that, as you suspect, I was (and probably mostly still am) blind to. Certainly, yours is the most engaging, thoughtful, informed, and useful critique of the book I've seen; I'm prepping a second edition, and I'd love to communicate with you a bit more, if you're interested.<br /><br />s.alexander.reed at gmail dot com.S.
