Frith (1985), "Afterthoughts"

Frith's (1985) follow-up to his 1978 essay with McRobbie qualifies the claim that rock is inherently masculinist. Instead, Frith (1985) argues that rock should be studied within the cycle of production. Masculinist leanings in rock are part of a cyclical ideology. Frith (1985) therefore argues that analyses of rock and its audiences should be mindful of the ideological context in which production and consumption take place.
