@YorkUWomenMusic Afrofuturism is consistent through Dirty Computer for example the video DjangoJane Jonelle projects blackness into the future from the perspective of a world where women rule. She is the leader who sits on the throne who speaks for women as sole power of society and the world.

@YorkUWomenMusic In Rihanna's "Work" video Twerking was looked at as sexual and not cultural, simply because some scenes had her twerking on Drake. Director X states, " That is Caribbean culture at its height. He was dancing, she saw him, she went to him, they had a dance together."

@YorkUWomenMusic In this post by Lionel Hahn, the responses to Nicki Minaj twerking had mostly positive reviews however the backlash came from another comment clearly reflecting agism Claiming that Nicki twerking was something only to be displayed by younger women. etcanada.com/news/594370/ni…

@YorkUWomenMusic SupaHood by K.Michelle Feat. and City Girls and Kash Doll youtube.com/watch?v=cMjavO… Represents women demanding the type of the men they want and need to fulfil their wants and need with no apologies. "Sorry, I'm not 'bout to play wit' you (I'm so sorry)"

@MagdalenaHulic1 @YorkUWomenMusic I am currently hooked to Harry Styles Adore You as my guilty pleasure. Luv the way the background vocals blend with his voice.

@YorkUWomenMusic In Mariah Carey's Heartbreak video I noticed that the video faulted sexuality in the dance moves and choreography. Also the woman in the Red outfit speaks volumes of conforming to regular attire most would wear to the movies.

@YorkUWomenMusic She happens to one of the most underrated female Country singers, her grassroots approach to her performance is a nice touch as she goes barefoot while playing fearlessly on her Banjo with a group of men on other instruments.

@YorkUWomenMusic Rhiannon Giddens Don't know why but this song spoke to me youtube.com/watch?v=moLtT5…

@YorkUWomenMusic @lilithfair The 3 women I would choose in my lineup would be Amy Winehouse (I miss her), Emeli Sande and Jill Scott their music is timeless.

@YorkUWomenMusic discussing issues of addictions with alcohol and drugs, with the song REHAB, abandonment issues with her Father broke boundaries these topics were not popular in women’s music.

@YorkUWomenMusic for example discussing issues of addictions with alcohol and drugs, with the song "REHAB", abandonment issues with her Father with the song "What is it about Men" broke boundaries as these topics were not popular in women’s music.

@YorkUWomenMusic The 3 women I would choose in my lineup would be Amy Winehouse (I miss her), Emeli Sande and Jill Scott. Amy Winehouse (during her time with us) was able to transcend her musical talent as a singer/ songwriter and with her timeless voice and personal conscious vibe,

@YorkUWomenMusic In the '90s when most rock bands were predominantly male the band Hole with Courtney Love as the lead singer (who also played electric guitar) challenged alternative rock as a majority female band with a female lead singer that reached billboard status. youtube.com/watch?v=cH_rfG…

@YorkUWomenMusic In many music genres a majority of instruments are played by men. It’s been a while since, I’ve seen an all-female band and when it comes to guitars/electric guitars the women who do play guitars often are made to play it in a soft and subtle way, when they just want to rock out

@YorkUWomenMusic I believe Sister Rosetta played an instrumental role in Feminism before feminism had its name. It also intersected with the role of gender, race and sexuality that introduced women's empowerment through music.

@YorkUWomenMusic I am excited to dive into this course, I feel it is relevant in today's culture. Looking at the history of women in music and women in music today one can see how women have transformed societal norms and created trends through their music.
