Trina Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 hey guess what if the only point of having a woman in a video is for her to be viewed by men that's called objectification so shut up hey guess what straight women, gay men and asexuals will also view this video and these women that's called being logical so shut up oh wait also a woman can be in a video that's only viewed by men and it still is not by default objectification oh dear those girls looked like they were bored as hell. It all felt so forced they were trying to rock out but it was so akward and those sexy faces? If the girls were fawning all over them, that would seem pretty pathetic tbh. They were obviously told to originally act reserved and then get a little more into it but they're not meant to be fans, y'know. They're just chilling. Nobody understands the video, because there is no POINT to it AT ALL. The girls have NOTHING to do with the song. They are just there, being objectified for something called "The MTV Audience". I don't see how any sexual tension was underlined. They were just THERE, wearing almost nothing. You don't see a point. Others do. Only Billie Joe can know if they have anything to do with he song actually since he wrote it. Our views on the song meaning is just interpretation. Also a video doesn't have to be about what the songwriter was writing about. They are not being objectified. They are working. They seemed delighted to have gotten to be in this video (on twitter, etc) and there is just no way a woman dressed supposedly provactively or dancing is objectifying by default. If it makes you uncomfortable, that's your problem. And wow, I fail to see how (in this version) they're wearing hardly nothing. Also what's wrong with that anyways? They're probably models and shared a cracker for lunch before the shoot. I'm surprised they had enough energy to hold their heads up. Wow, that's an incredibly offensive and ignorant statement. Vile, really. "I don't understand rock'n'roll" lol you don't get it. I don't care if the women wanted to be there and I totally don't care if ladies in skimpy clothing are hanging out with the band. But that's not the point. The point is they only appeared to be there for the male gaze. and if the "point" of rock'n'roll is for women to sit around and for band members to look at/use as arm candy, then Green Day should be breaking that stereotype, not reinforcing it. It's blatant sexism, sorry if you can't see that. They are not only there for the male gaze. How are they? I'd say Green Day have more female fans than male fans anyways. Some female fans who are straight are enjoying the women being in the video (I being one of them) so it's hardly just for males? You're looking for something where there isn't anything. What else in a performance video could they even do? They're not in the band like. And as I said higher up if they were fawning all over them that would seem lame. Then maybe you'd have more of a point? They're meant to be almost "too cool" for GD, not easy "meat" for them. It's not sexism because what you're saying just isn't true. If they were less stereotypically attractive this conversation wouldn't be being had. People are simply uncomfortable with how they look as it makes them insecure and they want Green Day to feel accessible to them and this takes that away. IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING CONTROVERSIAL DAMMIT. If you want to be controversial, take a shit on the bible for all I care! Just don't use objectifying as a means of oppression. Oppression is not the rock n' roll lifestyle. It's something that should be eliminated. You're actually oppressing women by policing what they can and can't do, how they can behave and what they wear. wow. this site really has a problem with people disliking stuff. You're allowed to have your own opinion jesus christ. stop trying to defend the video to people who don't like it. Actually most people are blasting it. Also your second lines are contradictory. Why are people not allowed to defend it but allowed to blast it? I'm not even defending the video itself, of which I don't love but think it's okay. I'm trying to point out how warped some people's views are. (and then I heard that there were a bunch of women in minimal clothing--queue the side-eyeing) and unfortunately it turned out to be exactly what I feared. Y'know, for someone whose so worried about women being oppressed or whatever, you sure seem to like to police what's acceptable for them to do and wear..Hmm. I'm too tired to even type a response to that post so I'll just quote this one in agreement Hmm. ~ Whoa, OK. Most of the people here are NOT calling the girls names, not at all. I'm not blaming the women at all. I don't give two shits about how the women are dressed or not dressed, but I have a problem with the execution of the video in relation to how the girls are dressed. Well, everything I wrote down which was a "name" was something which was wrote on this forum. I've actually seen a lot of name-calling, so. Also, I didn't say everyone called them names either, so. *shrugs* Many people are being personally nasty toward the women, not necessarily you and I have a problem with that but that's not the main issue here. Can you explain a little how you don't care how the women are dressed but have a problem with how it's executed regarding that? It's not really making sense to me.. +1 rep for you. Thanks. The simple fact that you experimented with drugs shows you aren't that good at making decisions... How do you know? Hmm, life is so subjective, isn't it. It's funny how people love to police others, isn't it. It's not the music video, it's the idiocies people are posting. Indeed it is. When's the interview gonna be posted? MTV.com sucks, it really really sucks. It sucks, it sucks. It really really sucks. Hardcore man. Yeah, I thought that too. I'd rather think it was spaghetti than know it was gum that she had been chewing. because she's such a dirty skanky whore, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrongWayToSalvation Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 whats wrong with drugs, alcohol, sex and rock n roll? sorry your life is boring.. Because I feel the need to use drugs/alcohol to enhance life or drown my problems. I'm not having sex because I'm 17 and I don't want to get a girl pregnant and have to drop out of school, because I think about my future. Rock I don't have a problem with. Drugs and excessive use if alcohol are for the weak and/or stupid. I've seen what it's done to my mom, cousins and some of the people I used to call friends. I don't pity them. Only the weak use stuff like that to escape problems. Only the people who don't think about the decisions they make use them as an enhancer.

Chelsea831 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Still not that big of a fan for either version. I feel like they could have done so much with the concept and Bayer took the easy way out. However, in the R rated video the models "interact" more and seem less mannequin-like. But that's just my own opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea831 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I also expected way more from the R-rated version but that's probably because i only watched 2 r-rated music video before and that was S.A.I.N.T from marilyn manson and pussy from rammstein so yeah my expectations were way too high Did you really think Green Day would show legitimate porn in their video like Rammstein did?

Clockwise Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Holy cow, everyone arguing about this video. I've got to say, I pretty much totally agree with Trina. Anyways, I think it's a really fun video. The R rated version is much better, haha. Relaxed, rockin', and very sexy. Super pumped for Kill The DJ.

holyshitaflyingbanna Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Could be the same that thing happened with Kill The DJ... The radio edit was horrible and I didn't like it at all, but when the explicit version came out i was dancing around like the ground was lava... could be the same here where the edited version is really lame and the full (rated R) version really kicks ass... We just have to wait and see. nope... R rated version still sucks, BUT there are a couple of funny tre moments that make worth while to watch.... (still sucks though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather. Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 That R-rated version was so stupid. All I learned from it---Tre actually is the fingerfucker---and I didn't need to see that What has been seen cannot be unseen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The r-rated version is slightly less dull so I prefer it. Not less dull enough though, and pretty awkward. I also expected way more from the R-rated version but that's probably because i only watched 2 r-rated music video before and that was S.A.I.N.T from marilyn manson and pussy from rammstein so yeah my expectations were way too high Lol the Pussy video has ruined every other "risque" video for me, just can't be beat.

Okay yeah I should have been more inclusive of people other than straight men but what I was talking about was the male gaze. and what I meant when I said I was concerned when I heard the video had scantily-clad women in it was that I was concerned about how it was going to be executed--once again male gaze/being shown to have no other purpose in the video than to be looked at. if anything I'm mad at Sam Bayer, not the people in the video.
