What are the music videos of today telling their viewers, from a gender perspective? The result shows that six different kinds of roles can be isolated: * The admired man * The macho man * The natural attractive man * The admiring woman * The desirable and strong woman * The longing woman Most of the music videos are created by an interaction between men and women. This is often done with sexual tension. The dressing is mostly very female or male. The men are presented as sexy and desirable in their self. The women are presented as sexy and desirable with make up and revealing clothes. From a technical point of view, there are no major differences between the presentation of females and males.
