comparison of contemporary and pre 2007 music videos and the representation of sex and gender


Music videos have changed drastically in regards to sexual content:


Britney Spears - Oops! I Did It Again (1999)

And now we have:


Nicki Minaj - Superbass

So what's the difference?

Well, back in the 90's, they thought that crop tops and  short skirts so whole legs were seenand laying on the floor dacing were being sexual, alongside jumpsuits and minute intimacy beteen a man and a woman the male giving the female a gift.

Now?

Nicki Minaj has taken these ideas to a completely different level, where the clothes are even more revealing and make the artist appear and act like dolls, they're dehumanised. Artists appear to be more materialistic and express wealth too, ( champagne, cars, explicitly show 'stacks of cash') There is more explicit sexual dancing between couples.
