Beschreibungen/Notizen
[...]the series is an interesting hybridisation of genres that include Gothic horror, soap opera, teen romance, situation comedy and 'coming of age'. Kathryn Hill examines the proclivity of TV to use specific musical genres to stereotype narrative genres. Since Buffy deals with vampires, then the audience might expect Gothic music, and more specifically 'Goth' rock music to perpetuate that genre stereotype. [...]in a tour de force finale, Paul Attinello puts the Buffy musical squarely in the context of its contemporaries: such animated musicals on episodes of TV programmes like The Simpsons, Family Guy and South Park. [...]these perspectives are: music has meaning outside of its own syntactical language (laying to rest that argument, just in case it has not already been laid to rest!); and that TV has the luxury of bricolage that film does not always have; that TV in general, and TV music specifically, can draw from many intertextual sources: film, other TV genres, music (both popular and classical), narrative forms and popular culture, and can twist these conventions and influences in new and interesting ways.
