Representation of Females in We Are The in Crowd 'The Best Thing'
Intertextual references
This music video could be linked to Eminems Love the Way You Lie
featuring Rhianna. This music video shows the opposite of EchoSmiths
portrayal of females and links to WATiCs more independent and
stronger female. Rhianna and Taylor are seen to be strong and pro
active, who are not afraid to show their power in who they are through
the power of their voices, which could go against other conventional
female singers in bands such as EchoSmiths Come Together, who
show Sydney in a more female and a more voyeuristic view more often.
WATiCs music video could also link to Tonight Alives Lonely Girl music
video in terms of how the lead singer is represented. The two singers;
Taylor and Jenna both follow a self respect rule in both of the music
videos, which emphasising more they are not showing themselves off,
i.e. no revealing clothing, and instead, following a more mature and
casual clothing choice.
