Mostly to shock and be rebels, I&#8217;m sure. It&#8217;s very hard to find imagery about those bands. Perhaps they looked something like this:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3753\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Selection_862.jpg\" alt=\"Nude rock band\" width=\"420\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Selection_862.jpg 420w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Selection_862-300x296.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 85vw, 420px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Women only?<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3754\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/nudemusicians.jpg\" alt=\"nude musicians\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/nudemusicians.jpg 800w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/nudemusicians-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/nudemusicians-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Most of the performers I could find were women. This is remarkable in a way, because in naturism and nudism men seem to prevail. Why not then, I wonder, in music?<\/p>\n<p>Is showing the nude musician&#8217;s body outside naturism more of a gimmick to attract people than to celebrate the body? I think it is.<\/p>\n<h2>Sex sells<\/h2>\n<p>That&#8217;s a given these days, and it works since several decades. That is also, for me, one of the reasons that nudity (be it explicit or implied) is now so connected to sex. Advertisement had made that happen. Lots of people are happily brainwashed into that way of thinking daily.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3755\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/higienica-300x176.jpg\" alt=\"toilet paper ad\" width=\"300\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/higienica-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/higienica.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/>It&#8217;s even used to make toilet paper &#8216;sexy&#8217;. There&#8217;s the word. Sexy. Hardly surprising that nudity = sex(y).<\/p>\n<p>That clearly is the whole point. Also in music this seems to happen. Look at Miley Cyrus who has caused more than just a bit of controversy about her naked performances and appearing nude in music videos.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3756\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3756\" style=\"width: 512px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ncp7JYzuJw4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3756 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Selection_863.jpg\" alt=\"Miley Cyrus wrecking ball\" width=\"512\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Selection_863.jpg 512w, https:\/\/zjuzdme.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Selection_863-300x166.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 85vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3756\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Miley Cyrus and the wrecking ball<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Real music by real people<\/h2>\n<p>I really wonder if we&#8217;ll ever see a movement of real people, real music-makers, who are going to perform in the nude just because it&#8217;s the best way to be.
