Theorists- Goodwin

Dancing in the Distraction Factory

Goodwin suggests in his theory that music genres have their own music video style.  This can come in the form of stage performances, dance routines and clothing. 


  • Particular genres have their own music video style
  • There is a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals
  • There is a relationship between the music and the visuals
  • There will be a lot of close ups of the artists because the record label want their faces out there
  • There is frequent references to notion of looking and a large portion of this comes with the voyeuristic treatment of the female body
  • There is often intertextual references
  • The artists may develop an iconography that occurs in all of their work (eg The 1975)
