Pop Con 2020 - Alanis Morissette, Suburban Youth, and the Politics of Consumer-Friendliness
“Take that, Tipper Gore”: Alanis Morissette, Suburban Youth, and the Politics of Consumer-Friendliness
The commercial appeal of Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill (1995) was used to undermine its impact as critics set Morissette at odds with riot grrrl’s legacy of overtly-political musical narratives of girlhood. In this presentation, I argue that Morissette’s commercial appeal did not negate her music’s political saliency, but rather functioned as a political tool that allowed Jagged to circumvent 1990s suburban censorship and present girls with feminist practices in which they could viably participate.
