Popular Music, Critique and Manic Street Preachers

More about the book

Focusing on the lyrical content of the Manic Street Preachers, this book examines how their music critiques political, social, and economic systems. It argues that the band's provocative messages are not only conveyed through lyrics but also reinforced by their sleeve art, body art, video clips, clothing, interviews, and performances. By prioritizing these elements, the author highlights the band's unique ability to engage with and challenge societal norms through their art.
