Whilst in many other videos, ‘Anaconda’ by Nikki Minaj being an example that straight away rings bells, is objectifying, degrading and belittling all with a neon sugar coated finish. The idea of objectifying women is so creepily depicted in the video that you cannot justify it in anyway. The song lyrics themselves repeat over and over the same three or four verses, all gender neutral, with lying a key topic.Ĭompared to other music videos out at the moment, the blood and nudity is quite placid. Often predators use the excuse of having ‘urges’ or animalistic tendencies as excuses to sexual assaults they have committed.

Lex Griffiths, a third year Creative writing and Journalism student said, ‘I didn’t read it as stalker-like behaviour being excused as animalistic, so much as that the male character used so-called “male instinct” to try and justify his actions. The video shows that the whole idea of objectifying women whether that is through a stalker’s perspective or ours watching it, is completely and utterly creepy, unsettling and wrong.

VIDEOS DE MAROON 5 ANIMALS FULL
Now I understand that this subject matter is a bit full on for a music video, especially with its graphic content. If Levine and his new wife, the Victoria’s Secret supermodel Behati Prinsoo, weren’t so attractive the video could be a trailer for the next sociopathic thriller. It shows carcasses and blood as they are: no glorifying or prettifying anywhere. The video makes you question masculinity and the so-called stereotypical notions that men follow animalistic urges and express their passion this way. Maroon 5 have been around for ages as a solid, thoughtful band and they are not suddenly now revealing they are misogynistic and anti-feminist, like a Miley Cyrus U-turn. The whole thing is disturbing and creepy and I believe this is exactly what the band wants us to feel. In the video Levine stalks a female and then fantasizes being with her whilst covered in blood. This has stirred up some debate as it depicts controversial and shocking topics alongside masculinity and sexual gratification through the lyrics. The whole video is shot like a horror film, with blood and meat carcasses as regular backdrops to Levine.
VIDEOS DE MAROON 5 ANIMALS SERIAL
It shows frontman Adam Levine playing a butcher-come-stalker with serial killer type fantasies. The video for ‘Animals’ is however a far cry from anything remotely indie or pop. Maroon 5 have become more appealing to mainstream audiences, even though they are still referred to as a punk-pop band which conjures up images of dyed hair and piercings. Their new single, ‘Animals’ follows their debut single ‘Maps,’ which topped at number two in the UK singles chart. A lot of music phases have passed, but Maroon 5 have stood the test of time and have remained a firm favourite of many. love it Comment by hadi.Maroon 5 have released another song and video from their new album entitled ‘V.’ Most of us will remember them from our teenage angst years singing ‘she will be loved’ over the CD playing whilst doing our best moody impressions.
