Sex Is Violence/Music

Examples of Sex Is Violence in Music include:

• Meaning of Life (a.k.a. "Get Psycho") by Disturbed is often confused for battle music. Listen to the lyrics. You'll hear it.
• Lady Gaga:
  • "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga.

'Baby when it's love if it's not rough it isn't fun.'

• • The music video for "Alejandro".
  • Lady Gaga in general, via her music and their corresponding videos. Other examples include "Bad Romance", "Monster", "I Like it Rough" (though that might be taking it a bit literal), and "Teeth".
• Florence + the Machine's "Kiss with a Fist" seems to be about this (though the singer says it's meant to be metaphorical).
• Defied by the band Bush in their song "Everything Zen".

'There's no sex in your violence. There's no sex in your VI-O-L-E-E-E-E-E-E-NCE!'

• Kanye West makes an interesting pun about gang-banging in "Hell of a Life."
• The top-page quote from Jane's Addiction's "Ted, Just Admit It" takes this view. It should be noted that the song depicts the viewpoint of Real Life Serial Killer Ted Bundy.
• The Twisted Sister song "Sex and Violence" talks on this point.
