I recently saw this video posted on a teenagers facebook wall. While I think the song and video is pretty tongue in cheek, check out the get-up the lead guy is wearing I do think the message is not as far off from reality as you would think. I think many teenagers , girls in particular , facing the time in their lives when they start thinking about relationships with guys, sex and their own likability wonder if this is how they need to fit in. I know at that age I would have found the blatant references to socializing and group sexual experience really intimidating. Having 2 teen age daughters I can tell you that a lot of teenage boys have no problem objectifying the girls they know, rating their looks and giving the girls the idea that they are interchangeable. As the song says, “I will be the discoball, freak and give my all to whatever girl’s booty I’m freaking on.”

The most curious part of the video for me is how happy all the girls look to be there.

So my questions is this, is this a joke or is this the new man and his outlook on how to socialize and treat women.
