Slutwave is a pejorative applied as if it were a musical genre to female pop music stars which emerged in the late 2000s. Houston Press describes the genre as female musicians who "favor sex appeal - suggestive dancing, scant clothing, explicit lyrics - to promote their career over their actual music."[1]
The term was first used on the site Hipster Runoff and has gained wider usage. It was named Rolling Stone's genre of the year in 2011.[2][3]
Musicians who are commonly alleged to use such a style include Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, Kesha, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna.[4][5][6][3]
