SEXISM Ongoing in Music Industry

                      Sexy is OK, Slutty is not.

How is Miley Cyrus? 

Miley Cyrus. Once a cute Disney Hanna Montana girl is now called as a 'slut' towards people. She totally took off her cute image and wore an image of an adult having fun in life, without caring anything. This big change has brought her fame, but at the same time a lot of criticisms. Having most attention in her life, which isn't pretty positive at all, Miley is feeling great and wants this attention to go long. To all the worries and concerns from people, Miley's reaction is as if she does not give a sh** about them. 

Many singers and music-related people are showing up some concerns and criticisms, but Miley is responding through mocking the concerns that truly came from their hearts. Her attitude is just not right. If she had made all audiences to get attention to her, she should have responsibility at least to what she has done publicly. 

Is it only Miley? 

It is no longer time of unfairness of females. However, gender inequality problem is still happening in the music industry. It is not only Miley Cyrus. It is not only in US. But, it is happening in the most part of the world, through female singers. Executives in music industry want the young girls, who are almost at the same age with me, to take off their clothes more and more. Of course, their full interest is on getting people's attention. But is it only 'STRIPING' that can catch people's attention? I guess not. Look at Taylor Swift. Did she ever do 'twerking' in front of audiences and fans? Without any slutty actions, she is still remaining her fame. Being sexy is fine for everyone, if the singers understood that the  meaning of 'sexy' is different with the meaning of 'slutty' well enough.

             As Charlotte Church stated in her lecture, music industry is dominated by males. It means that those music videos with naked females are mostly directed by males. They say stripping can bring the singers fame. However, Charlotte Church, who had an experience to strip off in her music video, lost her popularity that she had made through her beautiful voice. Her talent was buried by just one music video. A young girl, with full talent, lost her dream just by the delusion of the male directors that all people would like Church her body shown. She just followed them, because they convinced her to be popular with more revealing clothes. Until now she has this slutty image which disturbs her to resume her music life. It is not a rare experience.  It is not the singer's fault. It is the fault of the music industry.

The problem is their wrong concept that all people would like those naked girls. It is true that beautiful girls wearing revealing clothing takes a lot of attention from the people. However, will that attention go for a long time? Singer's job is to sing, not showing their body. It is not only the problem of US music industry. It is also
happening in Korea. In Korea, grouped singers are catching young teen's attentions, whose average age is 19. Despite their age, they wear extremely short pants, tight dress, or erotic costumes and sing songs that attract the males. Isn't this insane? Can’t the executives try really hard to come out with concepts that will emphasize the talents of the singers more dramatic? Audiences, want singers to sing well instead of twerking or wearing slutty clothes. The first ability of the singer is to sing well. It is just not right to use someone’s desire, and dream to be popular singer, by their tool to solve theirappetite through letting them more and more naked. It is true that taking clothes off will take audiences’ attention. That’s all. What singers earn through taking off their clothes is the cheap image which hinders their music life. What the singers really want is not a temporary attention from the audiences, but love towards their music.

Apparent from the music industry, the problem is us. Now I am 17. May be I am too old to be called a teenager enjoyng the entertainment world, where gossips and rumors flourish. But what the media shows are all that stimulating things that grab attentions of us, teens, who are curious about those sexual things. It is normal for us to be inquisitive. But it is not normal for the adults to produce those sexually revealing videos to us, who are yet immature and inexperienced of those things! It is not the only problem of singers who show their body themselves, but also the fault of music industry that has made young singers, who are at the similar age with me to take off their clothes.

 Some people say that it is an  overstatement to say that teenagers  actually get affected by the music.  However, the answer is easily figured  out through looking around us.  Compare teenager’s outlooks nowadays  to few years ago. The skirts got shorter,  and tighter, showing up their body  shapes. Among the teenagers, it has  been a 'cool' thing to be aware of sexual t hings and wearing revealing clothes. Can  you say that this isn't the effect of the  media? It is so obvious that the  atmosphere and the trend among the  people constantly changes, through the  effect of the media and the one who  actually cares a lot about the trend is the teenagers and young women. The  problem is that nowadays, the trend  shifted into inappropriate way that those  young females should not follow  through. 

OK. What so then?

 Singers need to at least have some talents, instead of beautiful face and sexy body. I know it is not the fault of the singers who are forced to get off their clothes. However they should also recognize the fact that being ‘erotic’ will never last their fame for a long time, and stop being used by the male executives. It is even worse when talented singers like Miley decided to go for the erotic side even she has opportunity to earn fame through her beautiful voice. Without any erotic actions, she is still beautiful. Also the male directors who think being sexy is the only advantage of the female singers, should change up their minds by looking at singers who focus more on their ability sing, not being erotic.





The concept contained in male executives in the music industry that female can only appeal themselves through sex, comes to me that SEXISM has taken part deep inside their minds.
