Women In Music Videos

“Sweat until my clothes come off,” “It’s getting’ hot in here, so take off all your clothes,” and “Baby don’t you wanna dance up on me,” are all lyrics from popular songs in today’s pop culture. These are just a few of the very many risqué lyrics to today’s most popular songs amongst teenagers. Not only are the lyrics very suggestive, but also some of the videos for these songs are downright raunchy. Popular music videos portray women in a very negative way. Music videos fling messages to young women that say that it is “cool” to dress provocatively and be promiscuous. Women are rarely ever showed in a decent and good-natured manner in today’s music videos, not to mention fully clothed. One video in particular would have to be Christina Aguilera’s video for her song “Dirrty,” the video itself could almost be considered a soft-core pornographic video. And then there is the second pop princess, Britney Spears, “all grown up” in her video for “I’m a Slave for You,” where Britney bears all. In addition to the pop stars of today, the rappers in the media also display women as just merely objects. One that sticks out in particular is Nelly’s video for “Hot in Herre.

Pop stars aren’t the only people in the music industry that have portrayed women negatively. Women in rap videos have been depicted very disapprovingly for many years. One rap video in particular shows women as simply sex objects. The video is “Hot in Herre,” by the rap artist Nelly. The music video is chock full of scantily clad women, grinding with other men on the dance floor. The song encourages women to get naked, “Its getting hot in here/So take off all your clothes,” with a female singer responding with “I am getting so hot/I wanna take my clothes off.” At this point in the video, women begin taking their clothes off. The song just says to take your clothes off, but you notice that only women take their clothes off, and women are the only ones encouraged to take off their clothes.

Christina Aguilera isn’t the only pop princess who’s all grown up, Britney Spears is also making her fair share of crude music videos. She started off with “…Baby One More Time,” where she was wearing the “private school girl gone bad” uniform, while telling her male audience to “hit me baby one more time.” But compared to her latest risky video “I’m a Slave for Y
