abstract="The literatures on social movements, the media, and the sociology of culture have addressed how ideological frames are imposed on social events and cultural texts. I extend this work on &quot;social framing&quot; by describing the construction and selection processes that explain why media writers appropriate some frames but not others, and why some frames &quot;resonate&quot; with broad cultural beliefs. I analyze the rhetoric in media accounts from 1985 to 1990 of the dangers posed to children and society by heavy metal music and rap music. I also examine the images used to amplify each genre of music. Although both genres have lyrical and performance elements focusing on sex and defiance of authority strong enough to evoke a moral outcry, they evoke quite different reactions. I argue that the racial composition of the music's audiences and producers shape the way the two genres are perceived. (abstract Adapted from Source: American Sociological Review, 1993.
