Mortality and Music: Popular Music and the Awareness of Death - Bloomsbury Studies in Religion and Popular Music
Partridge, Christopher (University of Lancaster, UK)
"Mortality and Music examines the ways in which popular music has responded to our awareness of the inevitability of death and the anxiety it can evoke. Exploring bereavement, depression, suicide, violence, gore, and fans' responses to the deaths of musicians, it argues for the social and cultural significance of popular music's treatment of mortality and the apparent absurdity of existence.
