Musicians are not skanks. Pop stars are not musicians; they are glorified whores. So yes, pop stars are skanks but <b>please</b> don't confuse them with musicians.

Girls in rock bands are generally not skanks. They are still musicians. I am a musician in band; I am not a skank. You are an oboe player, if I am to go by your sig. I assume you are not referring to yourself as a skank?

Whores are sick. Musicians are awesome. n.n


I agree. I mean, I play the piano and I can tell I am not a skank. I'm just a girl who plays piano. Nothing skanky about that.


If you noticed, I replied to that saying that it's pop musicians... and I only called them musicians because it's easier for everyone else to understand.

yea.. but what about the ones who are cool about how they dress like Gwen Stephani(sp)..


Yeah. Most females that are in rock bands, symphonic bands, and other things like that are musicians, but they don't dress like skanks.
Really they only dress like that because noone takes female artists seriously how many big bands do you see with a female in them they are all guys.....Bump xp
not all are bad some are good they work hard to get it and yeah some like Britney Spears are like yeah u get the idea but theyre are some who have worked up their ladders to be where they are and are enjoying it
taboo is a fun game
All female musicians are skanks, huh? You say that to my highschool band, and we'll kick your a** from here to Tibet.

She means female pop artitists who are too sexually open.
If you read the first post carefully, you'll see that she's a musician herself.

I.agree.

I don't think I've ever seen a female artist who dress conservatively and isn't in a rock band.

Well, there are a few; it's just the most popular ones tend to be the most promiscuous-seeming, and maybe their popularity is due to that. sweatdrop

It's sad that female pop artists have to get nearly-naked on a stage in order to be heard. Most of the blame, I believe, should lie with the audience, however.

What about Kittie, JoJ, Rasputina, Switchblade Symphony, and the like?

It's true that most female pop artists are, but a lot of underground and rock girls aren't that slutty.


Isn't JoJo the fifteen year old? If so, then she is more fake than a skank. I mean, listen to the lyrics of that one really annoying song:

Get out/Right now/It's the end of you and me

What, did her boyfriend steal her Barbie?*

*Viel dank to my brother for this one.

And that's my two cents.

I saw a commercial the other day about a new cd that is coming out with a much of femal pop-artists. (Pop - popular for those who don't know) I was disgusted that ALL the women were mostly naked skanks! 75% of their breasts are showing, no bras, or in just a bra and underwear... *cough* Britney Spears *cough* It's disgusting, degrating, and pathetic.

If we want to make a point, we shouldn't have to be borderlining porn. Of course, it isn't all the musician's fault, it's also the audience's fault. They want this crap. There are REAL musicians that are working their ASSES off day and night and must take a second job just to pay the bills all because they are doing what they love and choose not to throw away their dignity at the same time.

I shouldn't have to scream, strip, dress and act like a total slut to catch your attention. I shouldn't have to do all that to make my point. But they fell to that, and it's a major insult to all to even enjoy it.

EDIT:

You have to understand that I am against the fact that SEX SELLS. I said that they DRESS like skanks. Also, I AM a musician. I am working my a** off, my parents who are musicians are working their asses off day and night, and I see a bunch of phonies who need the help of today's technology to sing at a concert, or just making the song in the studio. It's a major rip off. They fight for female freedom from the men, and yet they become their little sex figures so they can make money.

I am all for individuality, but if this was a style, there would be ALOT more drop outs and unwanted children then what we have now. People follow the TV, they don't consider what's off of it. I know that some people do, but the majority doesn't. So, these people could be as nice and decent off the screen, but people wouldn't notice. They have an image that is going to be hard to get rid of.


These people aren't musicians. They're blow up porno dolls lip synching to songs written by other people.

I saw a thing the other day where that sister of Jessica Simpson (i think) was singing a song live, and I guess she was so dumb, she didn't even know the words of her own song, so she was supposed to lip-synch, but the lip synch messed up for some reason, and she was sitting there looking like an idiot on stage while the (real) musicians were playing in the background. Later, she blamed the band, saying that they "played the wrong song."

SHE ONLY HAD ONE POPULAR SONG.

Now, one of my good friends is a musician. She's been playing the violin since she was five or so and is currently active in many different symphony projects. She's played all over the country and is going to be soloing at the next big college performance. I was in a chamber choir and we were invited to sing 8-part jazz harmony in Carnagie Hall.

That's REAL musicianship. Not this "show some more T&A and pretend to sing" s**t.

Oh Lord ... JoJ is short for Jack Off Jill ... not JoJo .... you mainstream junkie.
I saw frames from Lindsey Lohan's new video...what happened to her Parent Trap image? I always pictured her from one of my favorite childhood movies...and now? All you see is a whore. I mean, these "pop stars" are idolizing the fact that children in this age should go to bars and dance clubs and get "hot and sweaty" with her sultry computer-generated voice.

It disturbs me to see society do this. stressed
Most of the female singers try to make an impression on little girls. And all they are doing are showing them how to be a slut. and a skank. I'm sorry this isnt right. There are way better singers trying to make a living with what they do, but probally dotn get paid enough becauset hey wont strip and showoff theirbodies.

I don't like a lot of pop music ... but I really don't think they are skanks.
Untalented yes ... uncreative yes ... skanks no.

They worked hard to get their banging bodies ... or paid enough for them. Why shouldn't they show it off.

It's the double standard ...
What about other artists, males for example. Like Usher ... he flashes his abs all over the place ... that's not skanky? I don't think so ... but when Britney is in a nude colored body suit ... it's skanky.

Now to lump all "Pop" muscians together ... is wrong ... calling them all skanks ... if it drops the artisary of creating music then I say so does sex drugs and rock n roll.

Sex is natural ... it's not their fault your prude parents scared you shitless about exposing a little bit of your body. You were born naked. The most natural state of a human being is to be naked.

Calling people skanks is just unintelligent ... find a better argument ... it's low class.
