1x1 - Are You Lonesome Tonight?
July 15, 2004
Sex and pop music have been an indissoluble entity since Elvis' hip swing and Little Richard's cries of pleasure. Partly chronological, partly thematic-essayistic, the five-part series "Sex 'n' Pop" traces this 50-year history - entertaining, yet reflective, documentary and popular. The first episode of Sex’n’Pop shows how it all started. A hip swing, unforgettable to this day - Elvis Presley is the outstanding symbol figure when it comes to sex’n’pop. Role model for millions of teenagers and beyond - when he circled his "Pelvis" and pleaded "Treat Me Like A Fool, Treat Me Mean And Cool, But Love Me" so painfully lustfully, there was the protest of priests and Parents to no avail.s Presley
1x2 - Justify my love
September 6, 2005
This episode looks at the overwhelming impact pop music has had since the 90s and how our media saturated society has allowed pop music to become an overtly commercial product. 'The kids' have been subjected to, and manipulated by sophisticated marketing ploys from the pop music industry in order to maintain their huge profits. What kind of effect does this have on youth culture? What kind of youth do adolescents get to enjoy today, if their world seems to be one reality talent show after another? How much are adolescents affected by the stereotypes portrayed in pop video culture? Sex'n'Pop seeks to find answers to these questions.
1x3 - Sexual healing
July 29, 2004
No other music culture has as many clichés as there is about "Black Music". "Sex 'n' Pop" wants to show the peculiarities of a culture that is still imbued with the legacy of the slave owner society - the very Afro-American culture that has shaped global pop music so sustainably.
1x4 - It aint necessarily so
August 5, 2004
In gay and lesbian pop history there was always a game with identities. From playing with “bi” in glam rock of the 70s to the “hypes” of 2004 - “sex 'n' pop” tells the story of a really successful emancipation. How accepted are gays these days? What is the picture in the media? Why are there so few open lesbians in the music business? "Sex 'n' Pop" clarifies.
1x5 - Spice up your life
August 12, 2004
In Orlando, Florida, not far from Disney World in the middle of the old town is the boy group smithy of Lou Perlman. N Sync and the Backstreet Boys are world stars who owe their careers to Lou Perlman. For the first time, the world's largest maker of girl fantasies for "sex 'n' pop" is letting a camera team into his empire. "Sex 'n' Pop" explores whether it is true that media images produce new bodies. The story of the boy and girl bands is told through the ages, from the Monkees to the Bay City Rollers to the present day
1x6 - This Is Hardcore
August 19, 2004
Janet Jackson's fallen top was a planned "Nipplegate", Rammstein's "Bück-Dich" rubber penis show, Madonna's French kiss with Britney Spears and t.A.T.u.'s lesbian show - all calculated provocations and cheap marketing tricks. The experienced pop consumer is no longer easily shocked. He has done the record covers of Jane’s Addiction, Alice Cooper’s woman sacrifice on the scaffold and the hardcore videos and performances of the industrial era. "Sex 'n' Pop" provides a chronicle of the scandals and goes through the process of forming opinions. When is a taboo break really morally reprehensible and when does it contain artistic statements, bring knowledge or comment on social developments? If pop culture is youth culture, how adult must it be? Again and again youth protection and censorship authorities get individual publications from the market.
