Vulgarity in music video songs - Page 6

Well, you have to look at the context...and you did but in a dirty minded way which mind you makes you a perv.

Not a problem. I can be perverted at times, and am not ashamed to admit it. After all slash is worth its salt. Although I wanted to clarify, I did take the song in whole context. When I first heard it, I thought it was a very cutesy childish song. As I heard more and noted some of the references, I figured otherwise. I do not think the 'not so innocent' lyrics make the song 'dirty' at all. Music is about expressing a variety of personal emotions in an artistic sense. Colbie Caillait manages to keep the aesthetics, which some artistes and videos fail miserably in.

And you said grunge usually covers people up...grunge also involves mini skirts (skirts that mostly end where the thigh starts) AND crop tops (shirts that only cover the chest)...

Authentic grunge is jeans (preferably frayed, ripped etc) or cargoes (zipped, baggy) with tees (dark/earth tones, not tucked, at least till belt of pants).

The leather/plaid mini skirts are more to do with goth, emo or post grunge styles that have more influences from pop-rock. The crop tops are also a post grunge, pop-rock influence. Although grunge styles will have ripped, assymetrical tops that do reveal the midriff and navel region. However, I can think of so many traditional Indian outfits that reveal the same.

I preferred Avril when she was more grunge and angry. I cannot stand the new album. If Avril is happy the world must be coming to an end.

You said "Btw, the west does have some clean music videos. Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Avril Lavigne, Evanescence have all given plenty of clean entertainment. From Europe we have bands like The Cardinags, The Corrs and who can forget classic ABBA, Beatles & Ace of Base who did have plenty of clean songs"
-you did not specify that you said avril isnt 100% clean.

I did not know that words like "some" and "plenty of" meant a 100%. I was under the impression that "some" qualified "some not all" and plenty of qualified "plenty of it not all of it".

I guess since we live in diff. areas our thoughts about 'grunge' are different a 'grunger' in canada
would wear:
jeans: the new style having it ripped on the bottom revealing ur underwear.
plaid shirt: tied up/tight
Lacy Top: which is worn under the plaid shirt
and either boots (which at time can be considered a 'sex object' depending on the style or sneakers.

sadly,videos are getting more and more vulgur as the years go by....i dont think this will ever stop,this is why we are facing sooo many issues amongst the youth of today,becuse these videos are a bad influence!i think by the next ten years,we will literally be watchin po*n,in almost every video,be it hollywood or bollywood!!!

I think being more expressive is not vulgar.. We generally carry preconceived notions of whats vulgar and whats not... I think erotically dressed and acting women dont make videos vulgar..Somebody mentioned lack of vulgarity by Kelly clarkeson, evancsecen and avril lavigne... Kelly Clarkeson, evanescence Amy lee are too fat to act erotic.. they would look disgusting...just like Rakhi sawant..(normal people would lose their drives to nightmares) even erotica is forte of only certain women with proper body types.... 😊 Most women should dress fully to look appealing...only certain can really expose....

Lets not forget about the men who like big booty. Women maybe slim and sexy but they ought to have that booty to go with or else it aint worth it.

Look u are taking of south asians... we just like the upward shift in center of gravity... so forget that booty wooty...😆

Funny cos our Indian belles Madhuri, Sridevi and the likes seemed well endowed in the booty aspect. Indian film dancing also seems more involved around the hip shakes although we do have the occasional milk shake. But then Qwerty you are the man, you would know. 😉

Oh dear look what I have degenerated this topic into...hip shakes and milk shakes. I hope they dont start a vulgarity in DM topic. 😆

Well said Qwertoo. 😊 Exposing is just one of many ways to express sensuality and sexyness. Not everyone should or is capable of doing it with the finesse and grace.
