R and B videos have really been the most watched mainstream videos, especially amongst teenagers, both white and black. The question is whether or not the stereotypes presented in these videos are taking a negative toll on the viewers, or worse, whether they are sending the wrong message about the culture of black artists who produce these videos. Depending on the viewer the message can be construed in widely different ways: depending largely on whether the viewer ‘can relate’ to the material, or whether they are helplessly clueless and never come in contact with anyone of black culture and watch the videos.

It actually seemed somewhat realistic in terms of many other videos, because this involved the male cheating, and for that she was very angry. But all ended well, with them together, staying very passionate with each other. The main difference between male and female videos that I noticed was the overuse of sex in male videos and the slight underplay of it in women’s videos. Both liked to use jewels and nice clothing pretty equally, none were very modest about boasting their wealth.
As for how those unfamiliar and ignorant with black culture depicted on the television through thes
