For this interview, I spoke with a 19 year old African American female. The question I asked was how do we see gender portrayed in the media? She really focused on music and how we see the media and gender taking place here. She believes that there are so many boy bands nowadays and the females have been sort of pushed to the back. She believes that if there were more girl bands that we would have more girls finding their identity and being able to relate with these girls instead of obsessing over the boy bands. We see the media attacking these boy bands for being gay and forming the idea we have of a bromance. We see the girl bands being scrutinized for attacking men in their songs and being overly emotional females. The main issue is the media trying to get as much attention as they can and in doing so they create turmoil that affects how people view certain groups or individuals.
