Sirc, Geoffrey. "Never Mind the Tagmemics, Where's the Sex Pistols?" CCC 48.1 (1997): 9-29.

Abstract:

Sirc uses composition's relationship with pop culture music to expose the swing in composition's vision from libratory and avante garde in the 1960s-early 1970s to "Righting Writing" as academic and taxonomical in the late 1970s-early 1980s. He links the former with composition's embrace of activist pop music of that era, and the later with its complete silence on Punk Rock in that era. He suggests that composition's retreat into traditional (academic) values was exactly what Punk Rock pushed against, making the inclusion of Punk in the field's purview impossible, exposing the hypocrisy of the field's continued profession of a liberatory stance.
