Feminism In Music Industry

Hi guys today we are taking things from the feminism perspective. Tune in to voice out your opinions about being a woman mind you not just being a woman but how being used as a beneficiary hence you are woman affects you. This brings in lots of arguments such as “is the music by women, for women, and about women (Garofalo 1992:242)”.Not really, seems like they the focal point though because by the looks of things  they the ones who keep the wheels rolling. Looks like every time you look at a music video all you ever see is woman showing off their skin.

Having done research a study shows that when men are shown in the background of a video, they are most often fully clothed. But when women are in the background, approximately half the time they are dressed in ways that expose or focus on their breasts and rear ends (Children Now, Boys to Men: Media Messages About Masculinity, 1999).

I understand we all have our differences about the world and how it operates but how fair is this on woman why should they be used as ways to sell off music. Could they perhaps be objects let’s find out what these guys have to say.

In our blog we are going to talk about sex and music. No no no not in that manner baby, we are going to focus on how sex sells music. Looking at the current lyrics and music videos you would pick up that you are either very embarrassed or very excited by what you see or here, your reaction will mostly depend on the way you were socialised. However most youth today are inspired by these kind of videos, for instance even if you are stuck at a music shop and then you happen to see some flesh you are immediately attracted to it which brings you to the fact that sex does sell music, OK away from the covers, now just take a look at these lines from an arguably one of the best RnB crooners of all time R. Kelly "I got your ass rolling back finger nails in your spine (sex in the evening, sex all night)
we never had a sex session like this one in your life (sex in the evening, sex all night)". I'm sure you might somehow relate to these lyrics,  you know artists have  a way of communicating to us through music and they probably  thought  it was best for them to sell their music through sex and it seems to be working. Because we want you to catch a drift of what my partner and I are on about we posted this link so you can find out what other people think.  The blogger is thirdeyeblindislit
