The three CDs that come with Women Take Back the Noise all have flowers on them and are organized by theme. the entire visual aspect of the compilation toys with the idea of gender and femininity. Noise + flowers = why the hell would you think that noise is for boys?
At the same time that the floral motif deconstructs gender and highlights sexism in musical genre, it also reinforces certain notions of gender and femininity, by referencing the symbols, it acknowledges a certain validity, at the same time as questioning it. Is this an example of camp?
Anyway, I didn't participate because I'm a boy.
