Stylish podcast from Deutschlandfunk about the tension between mainstream, art, and subculture using Metal and Hip-Hop as examples, featuring Deichkind and Lemmy among others. Nice!
While sensationalist media prefer to focus on sexism and glorification of violence in gangsta rap or satanism and right-wing ideologies in heavy metal – which certainly exist – this program aims to explore the growing progressive and emancipatory potential of these scenes. Metal musicians draw from the legacy of classical music, and the lyrics of rappers are published in anthologies. Virtuoso math-core bands like The Dillinger Escape Plan connect to the complexity of jazz.
