Let's Talk About Sechs

"Isn't sex the point of pop?" asks the Lex. I dunno about the point, maybe a point, but is there really a lot of sexy pop around? (And what would that mean anyway?)

I have (I think!) enabled ANONYMOUS COMMENTS on this post if anyone would like to use em. No, I haven't, ignore that bit.

> I find it hard to argue that they are taking the reins or subverting sexual power dynamics when their members do not even have names. They are explicitly like, "Look, women are objects. Do not care what we think!"

Sadly you're right. However there is a difference between what they are aiming to present to the public, and how the public chooses to interpret them. Both are at fault, but what's worse? Their record label failing to publicise their individual names in press releases, or the public not even bothering to find out more about these girls before automatically writing them off as sub-human?
