It is very stereotypical for people to think that country music is the least sexual music to listen to. I feel many parents would rather their children listen to country music vs. rap. I have heard the country music genre be called the 'safe music'. I dont know if any of you feel this way, and before taking this class I kind of did. I always thought women were represented better in country music songs compared to many other genres. However, I now see this is not the case.
I have never noticed before how negative a majority of lyrics were towards women. In pretty much every genre there is. I'm not bashing all music, because I myself listen to just about everything-- listening to various genres of music today simply made me think about how women are portrayed in most music. Even songs performed by women. What are your opinions about the music industry as a whole and how women are portrayed in lyrics?
