Robin Thicke’s new hit, “Blurred Lines,”
has stirred the country and forced viewers to reexamine the effect of pop
culture on the current generation. By comparing Robin Thicke’s official video
to the spoof that was created shortly after, one can fully comprehend the
effect that the video has on the cultural relationship between men and women. By
creating a song with “blurry” lyrics, Thicke allows women to be seen objects,
creating a stigma for the female population. This video, whether intended or
not, creates a political statement on how the United States, a country founded
on equality, still, in 2013, cannot see women in a respectful light. By
analyzing the two videos, one can ultimately understand the absurdity and
sexism that is portrayed through the lyrics, clothing choice, and overall plot.
Although there are many similarities between the two videos, the stark
difference is the placement of power between the two videos.
