This article argues that music criticism from the early 1990s was central to media backlash against feminism in this period. As Daphne A. Brooks has noted, music criticism remains widely untheorized, despite being so entangled with the sustainability of popular music. In this article, I give focused attention to a small body of critical writing, exploring the relationship between recordings and the reviews that describe and evaluate the music. I present a reading of backlash against the riot grrrl band Bratmobile from 1993 to 1994, including reviews from the zines Cake, Snipe Hunt, trust kill and Genetic Disorder as well as from Artforum, SPIN and Option. I apply Janice A. Radway’s concept of ‘rhetorical containment’ to this set of criticism, highlighting shared critical manoeuvres evident in the reviews. This builds on Peter Szendy’s idea of ‘punctuation’ as that which shapes phrasing in a dialogue; on one level, criticism of Bratmobile punctuated the musical releases by legitimizing them and by reinforcing key themes in the music. But the critics also undermined the band in ways both subtle and explicit. I conclude by suggesting that critical backlash against riot grrrl can be understood as a matter of power and solidarity, with every critical utterance containing elements of both.
本文认为,20世纪90年代初的音乐批评是这一时期媒体对女权主义的强烈反对的核心。正如达芙妮·a·布鲁克斯(Daphne A. Brooks)所指出的,尽管音乐批评与流行音乐的可持续性纠缠在一起,但它在很大程度上仍然没有理论化。在这篇文章中,我将重点关注一小部分批判性写作,探索录音与描述和评价音乐的评论之间的关系。我列举了1993年至1994年间人们对暴动女孩乐队Bratmobile的强烈反对,包括来自《Cake》、《Snipe Hunt》、《trust kill》和《Genetic Disorder》等杂志以及《Artforum》、《SPIN》和《Option》的评论。我将珍妮丝·a·拉德韦(Janice A. Radway)的“修辞遏制”概念应用于这组批评,强调评论中明显存在的共同批评策略。这是建立在Peter Szendy关于“标点符号”在对话中塑造措辞的观点之上的;在某种程度上,对《Bratmobile》的批评通过合法化和强化音乐中的关键主题来打断音乐的发行。但评论家们也以微妙和明显的方式破坏了乐队。我的结论是,对暴乱的批判反弹可以被理解为权力和团结的问题,每一个批评话语都包含了这两者的元素。

This interview contextualizes the music of two bands, Stress and Attrition, their relationship to time and place (Coventry in the early 1980s) and the zines produced at the time by both interviewees. Bowes and Rider consider DIY zine and tape culture, their bands’ relationship to punk, post-punk and indie labels, other contemporaneous music which was often the focus of the music press’ interest in the city, as well as their current music and publishing activities.
