Gender Representation in Music Videos

In class, we looked at a music video by The Pussycat Dolls called "Buttons." Upon looking at the music video clearly, we noticed that there were a lot of aspects to the music video that could perhaps be "sexist" due to the provocative dance moves and mysterious facial expressions whilst Snoop Dogg overlooks them which relates back to the "male gaze."



After the lesson, I went off on my own and investigated other genres apart from the pop/hip hop genre that represented. US Pop/Rock band "Boys Like Girls" have a music video for their song "Love Drunk" which features Ashley Tisdale. The music video shows boys staring at the girls, as if she is an object.
