Rude Boys Girls: Las mujeres en el hardcore punk

Abstract

Hardcore punk began to sing mainly to the political ideas of anti-Machism, anti-fascism, anarchism, anti-sexism, and anti-capitalism (Inquiry & Winter, 2017). In the same way, it began to be considered a countercultural movement that went against everything that affected society and that, also, as the name says, goes against "traditional" culture. It is considered a countercultural movement that benefits everyone, thus treating all types of gender oppression and eliminating the traditional norms of the same society. (Griffin, 2012). However, this scene has been hypermasculinized and women have been seen not as active participants but as sexual objects. It is for this reason that, as Naomi Griffin mentions in her text Gendered performance and performing gender in the DIY punk and hardcore music scene of 2012 in this music scene, women are completely excluded since sexism and the negative front continue to appear. to the women involved in the scene. This same refusal is permeated by the sXe (Straight Edge) movement where women do not have as much participation and are forced to be excluded from the same scene that claims to welcome themselves as equals. (Haenfler, 2004) Additionally, sXe women recognize that their first approach is through their partner who encourages and invites them to be sXe (Mullaney, 2007). Similarly, this movement continues to speak of the inclusion of gender and female freedom. It is for this reason that the work aims to examine the role of women in the hardcore punk music scene, in a qualitative and journalistic analysis the gender stereotypes specified in women within the hardcore punk scene of Bogotá will be identified, to determine how the roles The traditional genres that women experience in their daily lives continue to be replicated within hardcore punk and will also allow us to define how in the hardcore punk music scene of Bogotá a distance between its founding discourse and the practice of its participants is deepened.
