- Are You Lonesome Tonight?
E1Are You Lonesome Tonight?Sex and pop music have been an indissoluble entity since Elvis' hip swing and Little Richard's cries of pleasure. Partly chronological, partly thematic-essayistic, the five-part series "Sex 'n' Pop" traces this 50-year history - entertaining, yet reflective, documentary and popular. The first episode of Sex’n’Pop shows how it all started. A hip swing, unforgettable to this day - Elvis Presley is the outstanding symbol figure when it comes to sex’n’pop. Role model for millions of teenagers and beyond - when he circled his "Pelvis" and pleaded "Treat Me Like A Fool, Treat Me Mean And Cool, But Love Me" so painfully lustfully, there was the protest of priests and Parents to no avail.s Presley - Justify my love
E2Justify my loveThis episode looks at the overwhelming impact pop music has had since the 90s and how our media saturated society has allowed pop music to become an overtly commercial product. 'The kids' have been subjected to, and manipulated by sophisticated marketing ploys from the pop music industry in order to maintain their huge profits. What kind of effect does this have on youth culture? What kind of youth do adolescents get to enjoy today, if their world seems to be one reality talent show after another? How much are adolescents affected by the stereotypes portrayed in pop video culture? Sex'n'Pop seeks to find answers to these questions. - Sexual healing
E3Sexual healingNo other music culture has as many clichés as there is about "Black Music". "Sex 'n' Pop" wants to show the peculiarities of a culture that is still imbued with the legacy of the slave owner society - the very Afro-American culture that has shaped global pop music so sustainably. - It aint necessarily so
E4It aint necessarily soIn gay and lesbian pop history there was always a game with identities. From playing with “bi” in glam rock of the 70s to the “hypes” of 2004 - “sex 'n' pop” tells the story of a really successful emancipation. How accepted are gays these days? What is the picture in the media? Why are there so few open lesbians in the music business? "Sex 'n' Pop" clarifies.
