I feel like you are just taking credit away from the artists and video directors because they aren't using sex appeal in the way you feel it should be used.
Similar to how I used to say Lil Wayne and Drake aren't real rappers just because I hate everything about them. They are rappers, they are creators, I just happen to disagree with the overall message of their songs and hate the art they create. That doesn't make them more or less creative than another artist.

My argument is that it is strictly being used to capitalize off of the sex market and I think since these singers are suppose to be "artists" they could be a little bit more creative with how they use sexuality in their songs and music videos.
All I see in these videos are half naked pop stars or naked pop stars and if that is how they choose to present themselves than that is fine but I personally would not call that "creative"
