Hello Meryl, I don't have academic work in mind regarding this, but you can look for music critics such as Adam Harper ( http://dummymag.com/features/2012/07/12/adam-harper-vaporwave/), There have been some quite general commentary about seapunk, I found this one in my research history : http://flavorwire.com/346153/do-seapunks-have-a-right-to-be-pissed-at-rihann... . Also this New Yorker article on Harlem Shake has been raising the point of internet-centric aesthetics : http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/sashafrerejones/2013/02/shake-what-you... . Also, there are the old "month in : genre" columns on Pitchfork ( http://pitchfork.com/search/?query=month+in&min_year=1999&max_year=2008) and I have a Tim Finney article on the short path of "UK Funky" if that might be of some interest. We published the article in french for the music review I handle, Audimat, but I can look for the original english file in my files. I hope this helps. Keep me informed with what you find, as this is a topic of interest for me. In fact I have been reflecting on my own master thesis, a few years ago, about the dynamics of music genres using the work on litterature of Gerard Genette and Jean-Marie Schaeffer, among others.

Hi folks:
I got the following request from a colleague and all I could come up with was a few posts on Google Plus. If you can think of any references for my friend's students can you please email me off-list? If there is call, I will post whatever bibliography I come up with. ---------- I have an undergraduate student who is studying Seapunk, and I'm wondering if you have any good suggestions for texts or articles addressing fringe/edge contemporary genres almost exclusively linked to social media. I'm finding a handful of sources, but quite a few of them are uneven or more dated than I'd hoped. Any pointers you might have would be welcome! ------------------------
Thanks much!
Meryl
