Abstract
Themes of patriarchy, music, and activism can be found in Chapter 4, “From Lady Gaga to Consciousness Rap: The Impact of Music on Gender and Social Activism.” Adrienne Trier-Bieniek and Amanda Pullum analyze songs by Beyoncé, Lupe Fiasco, and Ani DiFranco in order to demonstrate the ways music has become a tool for feminist consciousness-raising. Counter to Thicke’s “Blurred Lines," the artists covered in this chapter seemingly want to create music that will challenge patriarchal standards while also being aesthetically pleasing to listen to.
