Popular music first emerged as of intellectual interest within traditional academic disciplines such as sociology and English studies in Britain and the United States in the 1970s. This was at first driven by enquiries about consumption and embodied attachment: the role of music in everyday leisure contexts; how it is situated within the household, etc. Subsequent studies provided useful insights into the different uses of popular music, forming an important component of ‘subcultural studies’ and other contextualized forms of identity construction.
