Pop Culture = Porn Culture
The Telegraph made some salients points about the inability to tell the difference between pop culture and porn culture in this piece.
The author takes exception with pop star Rihanna, saying that her performances are — which are just one example of the degree to which porn culture has taken over pop culture, borderline pornography.
Borderline? i would say she crossed the border a while ago.
Rihanna is every teenage girl’s favourite pop star. As Suzi Quatro said this week, “It’s not that the women in today’s pop and rock world are being treated like sex objects; it’s that they are choosing to do it to themselves. Now they seem to be nearly nude, and I think that the videos are borderline pornography.”
The author goes on to say:
I worry that I come from the last generation of people who even recognise the sexualisation of mainstream culture. Do we get to a stage where people of Rihanna’s age (24) and under think it is just the done thing to thrust their hips and lick their lips in public? Do we become enraged by the news that thousands of children on social networking sites are at risk of being abused by paedophiles, while failing to address the fact that Grammy-winning pop stars are making like porn stars on TV in our living rooms?

One Response to “Pop Culture = Porn Culture”
Rihanna is no different from those that were enslaved to sexual addiction/sexual purity struggles. The only difference is that we have stepped out of the denial.
