We as a society have always been sexualized; however it has been just recently that it is being talked about more often. In the mass media there is multiple underlying sex in anything from teen shows, family shows, basically anything on TV, and music. The majority of the time I pick up on the underlying sexually message in TV shows but music on the other hand that one gets past me. It amazed me in Wednesday’s class when we listened to “Blurred Lines: I never realized how bad that song was. We have people of all ages listening to music and not knowing what some of the undertones are.

The music that we listen to today would never pass as music years ago. We went from being classy to being trashy. Any genre of music is making their way into having sexually undertones. Now it isn’t every single song that you listen to but I would have to say that they majority of the music has some bit of underlying meaning. You wouldn’t think that country music would get on the band wagon. but yeap you guessed it they have.

When thinking about what song I would use it took me a little while but I decided to step away from rap and pop and look at a country song. The song that I have picked is “Something About a Truck” by Kip Moore. In this song it sounds so innocent talking about a truck and beer, but then it goes it to talking about a girl and not getting caught. Like the “Blurred Lines” song I didn’t pick up on the sexual undertone until my husband told me, which goes to show that when you don’t fully pay attention to lyrics you don’t really know what you are listening to. Now give this song a listen and see if you can pick up on the meaning.
