Music Videos: 90s vs Today

The 90s girl group 'TLC' were known for wearing bagging clothing and portray themselves and intelligent young women who's songs positive messages were mainly directed towards young people; such as their song 'Waterfalls'. Most of the girl groups and female artists during the 90s usually did not wear revealing outfits and if some did it was out of choice and not because they felt the need to follow the stereotype of themselves.

'The Pussycat Dolls' heavily contrast with girl groups in in 90s, unlike the group 'TLC' they do come across as quite sexual and they portray themselves in this manner in their music videos. The attire of the artists adhere to the forms and conventions of pop videos as their clothing is used to portray them in a certain way to the audience. Also make up and hair looks were less extreme in the 90s compared to now as seen in the pictures.
