Plus, isn't trashing noobs less original than the OP's post?

Funny, I think this is the first time I've seen you post too. I never thought someone would take my comment to an extent that you did, so good for you. Now I've got a great impression of what you're other posts are probably like.

Continue on with the topic of the thread people.

I don't remember anyone asking you to do that. I'm glad you're true to your username though. Enough is enough, let this thread get back on topic.

They seem to be done with their assignment and there doesn't really seem to be anything else to say.
I suppose the music industry could be criticized because most female artists seem to have to be a high level of attractiveness in order to achieve mainstream success, but then I would have to take down the entire music industry in general. And besides, I would say that roughly half of the super mainstream male artists need to meet a certain aesthetic guideline and the other half play into subcultures to appeal to young audiences.
Although music videos are an art form, I'm pretty much only describing super popular music. I reread all this and if I say the word mainstream again, I'm going to eat my computer monitor.

yeah, i agree. mainstream singers both male and female have to appeal to a certain demographic. i can think of plenty of female musicians in bands that we here would consider respectable who, let's say, are not supermodels.

the VAST majority of the representations women in music videos are all the same, either...

A - trophies (whore, princess, or 'ugly' duckling doesn't matter)

B - that they cannot stand on their own two feet without a group of men to support them.

which then in turn leads to a bunch of angry 'grrrls' screaming about how much they don't need men to make music that sounds exactly like the stuff made with 100% pure testosterone. or the belief that any music made solely by a woman needs to be all acoustic guitars, pianos, and fluffy strings. saddest thing is that even the good ones get shafted with either option A or B or a combo of both.
