Ethnomusicology and the Cultural Studies Boom

I started my academic career as a musicologist right yeah but I worked on very contemporary music. One of my professors even told me that there wasn't enough history to study Philip Glass or whoever you know which I thought was ridiculous because cultural studies is taking off. At some point I realized that the ethnomusicologists in my own department were studying contemporary music and just kind of contemporary music I studied. The new musicology became more sort of like a literary criticism literary theory which was an obvious move.
