(Anonymous) 2011-08-10 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)There's a level of sarcasm here that clearly is going over your head. The whole point is that musicians are not super special snowflakes compared to other types of so-called artists and therefore are not exempt from internal awareness or external criticism of how their products - YES, PRODUCTS TO BE PURCHASED BY CONSUMERS, NOT SOLELY AND ONLY "ART" - is influenced by cultural and personal ideas and biases or may be offensive to the people that are keeping them in the business. I'm sick to death of people saying criticism of musicians is invalid because songwriting is creative personal expression. It is (or it can be), just like any other creative form, but that's hardly the main concern of the music industry. You can say all you want that the public has no say in what gets made, but that's total BS. What we buy determines what gets made, and what gets made determines what's available to us to buy. And if you think that a songwriter doesn't take into account what has the best chance of selling when they're "deciding what's required of the lyrics," then you're fooling yourself.
only type out there, and certainly the only type that use gender specific pronouns
No, but pop songs like this are ones that are much more likely - and anyone with an ounce of observational skills can recognize this simply by listening to the radio or watching skin-filled music videos, so stop being obtuse - to sell based on sex (excuse me, "love") AND to throw in interjected references to a particular gender.
