As the importance of image increased due to the ever growing influence of MTV many bands would adopt black clothing that often drew on influences from the Victorian period. One band that would become noted for its image is The Cure. With its fourth release, 1982’s Pornography, The Cure created a Gothic rock masterpiece. The album ushered in many attributes that would become standard for the genre. These attributes included musical fixtures such as driving tribal-like tom beats, dreary lyrics, and the aforementioned Gothic fashion.
Furthermore, when Gaga refers to Beyonce as “Honey Bee” before they pull of their poison murder spree in the diner, this is a clear reference to “Honey Bunny” in Pulp Fiction; again highlighting the intertexual referencing. It can be argued that one of the major examples of postmodernism is within Lady Gaga herself where she is seen as a simulacrum of Madonna in a significant number of ways. This is evident through not only Gaga’s clothing, but also her music style, persona and also image. Examples of this can be seen within one of Lady Gaga’s song “Born this way” which many argue has considerable similarities with Madonna’s song “Express Yourself”. As a result, Gaga is seen as a replica of Madonna
How authentic are these actresses that NOW endorses, Fazzone questions. In Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar plays the lead role with her take-charge attitude who can dominate both genders, yet her promo photos show off the cleavage of her bra less self! Outside of their “innocent” TV shows, it is clear that these actresses are being marketed for their sex appeal, and not their wholesomeness. These actresses do not meet NOW’s criteria of portraying authentic women,

The Power of Lara Croft: Feminist Figure or Sex Object? “Lara is everything that is bad about representations of women in culture, and everything good…” (182). This is ultimately the response that Maja Mikula gives in her essay Gender and Videogames: the Political Valency of Lara Croft to the question pertaining Lara Croft being either a feminist icon or sexist fantasy in the video game Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. An answer similar to what her creator, Toby Gard, held in his interview with The Face magazine: “Neither and a bit of both.” For the feminists, Lara has potential to project a positive image and a role model aura; yet she is limited to being a sex symbol. It is a question that is often reduced to trying to decide whether she is a positive role model for young girls or just a perfect and artificial embodiment of a male sexual fantasy for the boys.
Rock n’ Roll Has Feelings Too! Rock n’ roll is often synonymous with sex and drugs( this is a cliché, a conjecture, so present it as such) When you think about rock music, you may picture flashing lights, loud speakers and scantily-clad women throwing themselves at the feet of celebrities. Maybe you picture glamorous, crowded night clubs, alcohol, drugs and high-rise $13,000-a-night Las Vegas hotel rooms. Maybe seven digit paychecks come to mind. Rarely, though, do you think of these artists as victims or sympathetic individuals who yearn to be loved or shudder at the thought of abandonment.
Pornography Is Harmful To Women and Children Let it be known that the purpose of this paper is to argue that pornography is harmful to society, but more specifically women and children. Unlike any other media representation of sex and sexuality, pornography within our postmodern society has become a cultural category of significance. The typical seediness has somewhat become lost but replaced by a society that mainly focuses sexual imagery in almost everything everyone sees. High contents of sexual imagery is used in the advertising and music industries as well as a number of late night television shows. This sudden shift in people’s attitudes towards the use of certain sexual and erotic images in today’s society raises a number of questions that need to be answered in order to better understand the harms it does to society.

The other is the opposite side of the spectrum which he calls ‘teenybop.’ “The idols image is based on self-pity, vulnerability, and need and is consumed almost exclusively by girls” (Firth & McRobbie 375). Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven doesn’t fit into either category, but it does meet some of the criteria for both and in doing so shows the song is sexual in nature. The lyrics themselves
