poptimistsYesterday on the sex discussion the Lex said some interesting stuff about how acts like Lil Kim were "important and subversive" for reversing real-world expectations of predatory/dominant men and weak females.
This specific example got a bit of comment but what interested me was the old buzzword "subversive" - do you think that pop can still (if it ever did!) act as a subersive space in which social norms can be reversed or otherwise played with? And if not pop, how about more subcultural musical areas?
