Sex in music videos by andsager & roe. Abstract: as sexuality in music video becomes more intense and more frequent, it re- quires more attention by scholars. This essay summarizes the ndings of two decades" worth of research on music video, most of which focuses on sexual and violent content in the videos. In addition, we suggest a typology of how sexuality is indicated and used by artists especially female artists to de- ne their images and attract audiences. Music videos evolved in a kind of social darwinism, slow making survival of the sexiest the standard of commercial success in the music industry. Artists must strive to be increasingly more shocking to be noticed. shocking, for music videos, often includes violence, sex, or both. Without the need to conform to television expectations, artists can push the boundaries of sexuality with fewer negative rami cations.
