Abstract:

This talk examines music theory memes and their power to spark conversations and spread information and misinformation. As acts of ordinary creativity and indicators of trends, memes offer a window into music theory in the digital age, as well as what it means to be a music theorist. Previous research on music theory’s internet presence has examined a range of topics and scenes, including the formation of global communities around music theory, the rise of “music theory clickbait,” and the propagation of different kinds of music theory memes. Still, scholars have only begun to scratch the surface of music theory as it appears online. In this talk, I go deeper into the subject of memes, approaching them as sites of (mis)information about music theory that have circulated among digital publics, as well as examples of people experimenting with what it means to be a music theorist.
