Haha yeah that Amanaemonesia song is fucking trippy.
Not sure how I could forget this one, it's what made me go on the dance video quest.

made their music too 'hyper sexual' and that they were both talented enough to be more 'subtle and artful'. Think that has some credence? Monáe definitely pulls it off.
That's just, like, their opinion, man.
I didn't think the Beyonce video above was too overboard, to me it came across as they just show a bit of flesh to keep the guys interested while they women enjoy the song.
I think that could be said for most things these days. It's either too sexualised, gory, has too many swear words or something else a bit extreme to make waves and get publicity. Target audience must also play a big part, from the video it seems that Beyonce aimed at tweens who dress like that.. or do they dress like that because they're emulating her?
