“Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke has become an international sensation. It is undeniably popular in our culture to create sexual music videos. What is this saying about our society? Have we decided that it is ok to objectify our peers, degrade women, and take things at face value? I hope not. I hope this video has sparked a fire within our world to question the representation of women in media. This song should not be an international hit. Has the degradation of women is in our society become so common we don’t even recognize or notice when the artist goes out of his way to offend as much as possible? Why has it become acceptable for offensive songs like “Blurred Lines” to be released? Not only is the image of women in this video disturbing, but this song has promoted worrying messages about sex and consent. With lyrics such as “I hate these blurred lines, I know you want it” and “must wanna get nasty” these messages should be troubling to listeners everywhere. Wake up Robin Thicke, consent has no blurred lines. Young men and women watch and listen to this song (there is now a Kidz Bop version) and I truly hope that this has sparked a debate to readjust the boundaries of what is acceptable in our society. |
