In this music video, it shows the band Maroon 5. This music video it shows women dancing to the music, but it is really them just dancing harmless? They are shown dancing, while the men are also dancing and singing, however it shows more focus on the women. There are music videos of women not exploited or being shown as objects, this video is good one to compare how women were shown since the 90's. In the video the women are not just dancing, they are in a way being seductive. While it may seem innocent, the video is using sex to appeal to the viewers. Just like in the 90's music videos, the genre rock is still using young women to dance to the music in the videos. Dreamworlds by Sut Jhally said that the women are often shown as back-up dancers or groupies, in this music video, that seems to be the case. they're main function in this video is to be looked at, it seems that they almost seek it. the camera panels to their body's but not as much to their faces. this causes them to be seen more like objects than people. They are dancing and are dancing one at a time. the camera rarely shows all of them dancing but just one at a time. the women in this video also are wearing sexy outfits. When they are shown in the video, it almost seems as if that's their main function. Compared to the 90's this video doesn't quite have the same approach. For this video still show more of the men than the women. Creating a more fair play in the video. The women are airplane servants but at the same time shown to be lustful to the rock band as they play the music, creating that nympho maniac fantasy. The video shows how even in today's modern music, sex still sells.
