Joan Jett was recognized mostly in second wave feminism. This was around the 1980's when women where making a statement that they could be punk rockers too. She was just one example of women "sticking it to the man". In this blog i will be discussing many women and gay men who wear their gender and/ or sexuality proudly. I will cover from the around the 1980's to present day, and we'll discover how gender and sexuality has changed rock and roll through out the years.
Out of all genre of music I believe that rock and roll is the most rebellious. A rock and roll artist is usually trying to get across that they are different and they could care less about what anyone thinks about it. When women started doing rock and roll around the late 70's early 80's, things where a little bit different. Unlike men, women had to change themselves to be in this type of business. Lots of women lost their fiminity when they decided to be rock stars because they had to compete with the hard core boy and no one was going to listen to a soft spoken little girl. So women had to talk just as dirty and be just as tough as the guys. Now moving closer to the present rock and roll has become more divers in sound and in people.
