“Oh, they were like contraband, magic secret things,” Ryann Donelly sighs over the phone. We’re discussing music videos, the subject of her first book, Ryann combines her PhD on sexual subversion in music videos with a tender girl-in-the-band style memoir which charts the author’s own sexual coming of age.coming in really fuzzy, totally snowy, on the TV. I vividly remember that and No Doubt’svideo.
These were the 90s, the pre-YouTube years, when music videos had truly come into their own as an art form hybrid of music and film. It was these years spent sitting in front of the TV, waiting for that one Hole video or one No Doubt video to come on every few hours, that turned Ryann into something on a music video aficionado. It also kick-started her own music career as the lead singer of the alt punk Seattle band, Schoolyard Heroes.
As someone who was put in music videos herself, Ryann brought her own experience to her analysis of the form: in the memoir, she voices frustrations she felt as a young artist being filmed as a sexual object, something her male peers didn’t have to go through. “To me, subversion is an act of protest but it’s quiet and it replaces the thing in question violently, and in that way, it really strips it off its power,” she explains.
Ryann considers this subversion to be the reason why women and queer people have historically been at the forefront exploring what music videos can do as an art form. “It’s really hard to get cis men to play with gender identity,” she laughs. “I really didn’t find strong iterations of that. There’s a few exceptions in the goth genre but even within that, they’re not challenging to patriarchy or challenging to – there’s just not a lot of rewriting.”Ain’t 2 Proud 2 Begvideo when it first came out.
