Female-Address Video: 1984

I have heard both of these songs many times, but I had never seen either of the videos before. I have always considered Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield" to be a powerful and emotional song; however, I was a little surprised by the seriousness of the content of the music video. I think that Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefiled" is definitely the stronger video and song. My video is My Chemical Romance's "Teenagers." I think that the video is somewhat of a satire. The "all-American cheerleaders" are the ones using nightsticks like guns, and all of the "troubled goth kids" don't do anything until after the cheerleaders pull out the nightsticks. All the while, the lyrics are mocking authority figures who "sleep with a gun and keep an eye on you son." My claims: sometimes the most troubled are the ones who least look like it, and authority figures (parents, teachers, etc.) need to take action instead cowering idly behind closed doors. I think these videos allowed me to observe my own video more objectively.
