1990년대 미국 여성 힙합 아티스트 영상에 나타난 걸스힙합의 전형성 탐색

Abstract

This study explores the prototypicality of Korean girls' hip-hop by ana- lyzing the elements that distinguish it from freestyle hip-hop, even when female and male artists perform the same movements. The research ana- lyzed music videos and stage performances of 1990s American female hip-hop artists Salt-N-Pepa, TLC, and Aaliyah from 1990 to 1999. The analysis was conducted in three phases: deconstructing video elements, analyzing the proportion of freestyle hip-hop dance elements, and inter- preting the results to identify key elements. The study found that girls' hip-hop emphasizes femininity through costumes and accessories, fluid and smooth movements, sensual expressions, unique and powerful dance moves, and distinctive leg movements. These findings support that girls' hip-hop is a distinct genre from freestyle hip-hop and will aid in estab- lishing its identity and educational curriculum.
