Abstract

ABSTRACT The expressions of sexual assertiveness in lyrics and poetry can be found in the literature of almost every culture. The current study, based on the earlier literature and public perception, assumed an increase in the sexually assertive content in the trending songs because of modernization. The study analyzed the content of 150 popular songs of English, Urdu, and Punjabi from 1970 to 2019 and revealed that the aforesaid assumption was quite valid until 2009. The study found a gradual increase in the frequency of sexually assertive content in English, Urdu, and Punjabi songs from 1970 to 2009. A strange shift in this trend was however observed from 2010 to 2019 whereby the frequency of sexually assertive content decreased. As the existing literature is silent in this regard, the current study opened a new gate of curiosity by sensitizing the researchers to explore the reasons of this decrease further.

1970年至2019年英语、乌尔都语和旁遮普语歌曲中的性自信内容

在几乎所有文化的文学中都可以找到歌词和诗歌中性自信的表达方式。目前的研究基于早期的文献和公众认知，假设由于现代化，流行歌曲中的性自信内容会增加。该研究分析了1970年至2019年150首英语、乌尔都语和旁遮普语流行歌曲的内容，发现上述假设在2009年之前一直有效。研究发现，从1970年到2009年，英语、乌尔都语和旁遮普语歌曲中性自信内容的频率逐渐增加。然而，从2010年到2019年，观察到这一趋势发生了奇怪的转变，性自信内容的频率下降了。由于现有文献在这方面保持沉默，目前的研究打开了一扇新的好奇心之门，促使研究人员进一步探索这种下降的原因。
