-80's = literal (act out song)---Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (cyndi lauper)---written originally by Robert Hazard from a male p.o.v....later changed by cyndi---considered by many to be a feminist classic of the era She's a Rebel: The History of Women in Rock & Roll (2002), described the single and corresponding video as a "strong feminist statement", an "anthem of female solidarity" and a "playful romp celebrating female camaraderie."
-reached #1 in over 10 countries
-express yourself (madonna)--The song is one of female empowerment, urging women never to "go for second-best" and to put their love "to the test"
-over the top (hairspray/makeup/hair)
-hard rock dance hits (associated with electronic more rigid sound-age of computers
-introduction of hip-hop
-Madonna --> videos caused ALOT of controversy
*Talk about the good and the bad (evolution isn't always positive) -- change intro
NOTES 4 DOCUMENTARY:
-ask youtube guy if i could use his clip for my project
-include interview clips
NOTES FOR PAPER:
-not all artists portary women in such a way, but it had become so frequent and popular that the genre's reputation has greatly fallen
-It is also women's fault (parameter)
-rock/metal/rap all have degrading songs about women, but why does rap take center stage? (b/c its currently more popular)
