Does History Repeat Itself, But With More Porn? » Sociological Images

Does History Repeat Itself, But With More Porn? » Sociological Images | Herstory | Scoop.it

In 1990 I was still an American Culture major in college, but I was getting ready to jump ship for sociology. That’s when Madonna’s “Justify My Love” video was banned by MTV, which was a thing people used to use to watch videos. And network TV used to be a major source of exposure.

I was watching when Madonna went on Nightline for an interview.

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

Comparing Miley to Madonna is rather spot-on (and something we should be over by now with the growing number of tween & teen stars who have tried to "bust out" as women); but I still stand by the no-no of racist twerking - see http://sco.lt/8kvXzV
