Pop Music Iconography

Pop music is dominated by female artists. Even though there are male artists in the genre, who are exceptionally popular such as Justin Bieber, it is the female artists who are the leading figures within the pop industry. Bright colours are the first thing you will notice in every pop music video. If you look at Miley Cyrus  music videos such 'wrecking ball' you will immediately recognise the huge amount of brilliant 'cheerful' colours that overlook the music video throughout. Seeing as the pop genre is dominated by female artists, it is only right that most of the target audience is aimed at females. Not to say that males don't like pop music, it's just that females audience overrules the male audience by a huge mass. Sex appeal is somewhat that pretty much every music video contains. It is usually presented through what the artist is wearing in the music video, which in most cases is not a lot. For example in Miley Cyrus music video "wrecking ball" she is naked in some bits of the video, which will appeal to the younger male viewers. Other ways that sex appeal is presented towards the audience is through genuine scenes. Such as, some music videos may contain making out scenes, explicit lyrics and even sex itself.
