*‘Doing metal, being punk, doing punk, being metal: hybridity, crossover 
and difference in punk and metal subcultures.’*

*Punk Scholars Network 5^th Annual Conference and Postgraduate Symposium.*

/De Montfort University Leicester, December 13-14^th 2018/

Hosted by the Punk Scholars Network in conjunction with the 
International Society of Metal Music Studies, the /Journal of Punk and 
Post-Punk/, the /Journal of Metal Music Studies/, Media and 
Communication Research Centre and Intellect Books.

Metal and punk cultures have long shared musical and cultural 
similarities. From Motörhead’s ubiquitous global presence, and the 
complex amalgam of Thrash Metal, Doom Metal, American Hardcore, Straight 
Edge, Japanese-based Burning Spirits, Black Metal, and DiY cultural 
production, one can see a plethora of hybridised and reinterpreted 
global music scenes. Indeed, the pervasive influence of metal and NWOBHM 
from the mid-1980s onwards has had an irreversible and notable effect on 
both punk and metal musical and cultural aesthetics (see Glasper, 
forthcoming, 2018).

In spite of their broadly separate academic literatures, from their 
competing inceptions in the mid to late-1970s, punk and metal music 
studies have shared common historical theoretical and methodological 
approaches; yet no significant critical reflection of these research 
crossovers has been undertaken to date. The principle aim of this 
interdisciplinary conference is to critically reflect upon points of 
similarity, difference and hybridity in global punk and metal subcultures.

The Punk Scholars Network and The International Association of Metal 
Music Studieswould like to invite new and established scholars in punk 
and metal music studies to critically interrogate such similarities and 
differences and to share their research: not every paper needs to 
discuss both punk and metal but simply by presenting research on the 
same panels to a mixed audience will allow a unique opportunity for 
researchers to cross perceived genre boundaries and learn from each 
others methodologies and trajectories.
