The Pop Girl Effect: A Sliding Scale of Sexuality (Part One)

Welcome back to Two Girls One Culture! Today we’re taking an in depth look of female pop stars past and present in order to unpack the culture’s obsession with female sexuality and all the ways the music industry has sold this to us. Using iconic modes of pop stardom such as the innovative marketing behind Madonna and once in a generation talent of Britney we attempt to separate liberation from exploitation and venture to guess why acts like Lady Gaga and Björk seem difficult for the media to sexualise. This was a mammoth task so we’ve decided to treat you all to a two part episode! Stay tuned 💋
