#3 - Are You Lonesome Tonight?
Season 1 Episode 1 - Aired 7/15/2004
Sex and pop music have been an indissoluble entity since Elvis' hip swing and Little Richard's cries of pleasure. Partly chronological, partly thematic-essayistic, the five-part series "Sex 'n' Pop" traces this 50-year history - entertaining, yet reflective, documentary and popular. The first episode of Sex’n’Pop shows how it all started. A hip swing, unforgettable to this day - Elvis Presley is the outstanding symbol figure when it comes to sex’n’pop. Role model for millions of teenagers and beyond - when he circled his "Pelvis" and pleaded "Treat Me Like A Fool, Treat Me Mean And Cool, But Love Me" so painfully lustfully, there was the protest of priests and Parents to no avail.s Presley

#4 - This Is Hardcore
Season 1 Episode 6 - Aired 8/19/2004
Janet Jackson's fallen top was a planned "Nipplegate", Rammstein's "Bück-Dich" rubber penis show, Madonna's French kiss with Britney Spears and t.A.T.u.'s lesbian show - all calculated provocations and cheap marketing tricks. The experienced pop consumer is no longer easily shocked. He has done the record covers of Jane’s Addiction, Alice Cooper’s woman sacrifice on the scaffold and the hardcore videos and performances of the industrial era. "Sex 'n' Pop" provides a chronicle of the scandals and goes through the process of forming opinions. When is a taboo break really morally reprehensible and when does it contain artistic statements, bring knowledge or comment on social developments? If pop culture is youth culture, how adult must it be? Again and again youth protection and censorship authorities get individual publications from the market.

What kind of effect does this have on youth culture? What kind of youth do adolescents get to enjoy today, if their world seems to be one reality talent show after another? How much are adolescents affected by the stereotypes portrayed in pop video culture? Sex'n'Pop seeks to find answers to these questions.
