whippersnappers and their devil music

unknownfateSo, I ended up watching Fuse’s Top 40 sexiest videos for long enough to question the definitions of sexy. So far the common elements seem to be oily bodies, hands on mouths, and a lack of eye contact. Everybody looks like they’ve been in some sort of baby oil explosion and it feels so gross they can’t even look at each other, and they’re all pawing at their own faces. Combined with all the lipgloss, I don’t see why anyone bothers to wear good clothes to a video. Blech.
But gleaming, sweaty bodies in uninhibited dancing are sexy, some may claim. Well, I disagree. Not by themselves they aren't. Sexiness shouldn’t take this much effort. These people are trying very VERY hard to be provocative, but they’re amphibian-slimy with something or other, and everybody’s fingers are in everybody’s mouths. It could be that working with little kids has ruined my appreciation for that kind of thing, but it’s not doing anything for me.
Bring me somebody clean, or at least not oozy. Somebody who can be sexy just standing there, without being greased up and backlit or forced to hump the camera lens like they‘re being electrocuted. It can be done!
Also, the Glee version of Golddigger is better than the original. Thank you. That is all.

But, unfortunately, Gen Y emulates what they see on tv and I see a lot of my young relatives (in their facebook photos) hanging all over each other, dressed like street walkers or worse, with their tongues hanging out or their lips close to each other and etc. It's sick but I guess they think it's sexy or normal.
