Why do we dance to music that demeans us?
In short: Musician and activist Madame Gandhi explores the paradox of consuming popular music filled with misogynistic lyrics. She discusses her mission to create sex-positive music that empowers listeners rather than contributing to oppression.
The video examines why listeners continue to dance to tracks that objectify and demean women. Madame Gandhi shares her approach to songwriting and music video production through her original works, such as 'Top Knot Turn Up' and 'See Me Thru'. By prioritizing sex-positive themes, she aims to move away from lyrics that reinforce social oppression and instead encourages a shift toward music that empowers everyone.
