Sexual Misconduct and Accountability in Alternative Music

Often when allegations of sexual misconduct come out, it is reported on by the media and receives considerable backlash from the music community. In some cases, the community rallies together to dethrone the artists from their platform, in the case of PWR BTTM in 2017 and Burger Records in 2020. But in many cases, the artists are let off easily with a blanket apology and continue to release music with little effect to their career, like emo singer Front Porch Step.We take a deeper look into these cases and why sexual misconduct reoccurs at alarming rates in the music industry. What is the psychology behind this? How has this behavior been perpetrated across decades? How can this behavior be stopped and prevented? What is accountability and how do we apply it effectively?While it's a difficult conversation, it's imperative that we continue having it, not just when allegations come out, but year-round. If we are to truly change the music industry into a safe environment for all, then all sectors of the industry from artists to CEOs have a responsibility to learn, call out, make changes and educate their peers and employees at all levels.This is a music commentary podcast based on pre-existing knowledge and sources listed at Name3Songs.com If you'd like to discuss anything we talked about today in greater detail with us, you can find us on Twitter @Name3Songs or @sara_feigin & @jenna_million Learn more about your ad choices.

The Inescapable Misogyny in Songwriting

The number of times we've listened to a song, as female-identifying humans, and thought "wait... does this singer hate me..." are truly too many to count. So in this week's episode, we decided to look deeper into why misogyny in songwriting is so inescapable. From the crooners of the 60s, to the rockstars of the 80s all the way to modern times with pop-punk and emo music to popstars like Ed Sheeran and even Taylor Swift, you'll be hard-pressed to not find at least one song that's hating on women. From straight forward women-hating lyrics all the way to singers poetically waxing their way through hidden misogyny, it's inescapable. This conversation is just scratching the surface of all the ways songwriters have made sure to let their biggest fans know that they don't respect the women who love them with no abandon. This is a music commentary podcast based on pre-existing knowledge and sources listed at Name3Songs.comIf you'd like to discuss anything we talked about today in greater detail with us, you can find us on Twitter @Name3Songs or @sara_feigin & @jenna_million Learn more about your ad choices.

Just Being Miley: From Twerking to Rockstar Status

We finally decided to pass the Bechdel test and do an episode revolving around a woman in music. We thought it'd be fitting as mid-range millennials to discuss a major part of the pop-culture discourse over the past decade, Miley Cyrus. Miley's career began by being the poster child of Disney Channel, starring in one of their most beloved shows, Hannah Montana. As she became an adult her journey to finding herself was an uphill battle and a rocky road all in one. In this episode we dive deep into how Miley reached the rockstar heights she's reached today. Starting from her 2008 Vanity Fair cover "scandal" to the VMAs spectacle with Robin Thicke to appropriating hip-hop culture to finally finding her niche with rock music this year. Come for the scandal and stay for the growth we always love to see hear about.This is a music commentary podcast based on pre-existing knowledge and sources listed at Name3Songs.comIf you'd like to discuss anything we talked about today in greater detail with us, you can find us on Twitter @Name3Songs or @sara_feigin & @jenna_million Learn more about your ad choices.
