In the Justin Bieber video Baby, the director is trying his best to influence both the male and female genders. He portrays Justin Bieber and his friend as typical teenage boys having a good time; he also portrays the group of young girls in the same manner. At this age when young men and women are starting to explore their sexuality, it is not unusual for a group of friends of the same sex to hang out together in hopes of interacting with another group of the opposite sex. Teens at this stage of life typically try to find anywhere to hang out and have a good time. This particular video illustrates the teens interacting in a bowling alley, but this could have just as easily taken place at the beach or in the mall. The meeting places may change over time but teenagers habits will not. However, the habits of the music industry are always changing. Many singing styles are starting to come together and combined different sounds to try and reach a new audience. Pop and rap, like in this video, are the two that seem to be the easiest to transition; but others, even country, have been able to produce hits. Overall, other than the fantasy of dancing in the middle of a bowling alley, this video does a good job portraying teenagers and their behaviors.
