As time is passing, I find more and more of the 'popular' music which is released has been getting more and more sexist, especially in devaluing the female population.
A good example of this is the questionably popular 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke, Pharell and T.I., which contains enough sexual references to make anyone cringe or at least feel uncomfortable. Not only is the video awfully explicit, but the lyrics are as well, for example 'I know you want it' which is repeated many times throughout the song, and, although somewhat vague, anyone with half a brain can work out what he is implying.
It's not only the 'male' artists which are doing this, but it seems the female artists are beginning to do it themselves, for example Miley Cyrus' 'We can't stop' and 'Wrecking ball' are just as bad at portraying women, and it just begs the question: Why?!
