This research will study cultural appropriation that is presentable in 2010th music videos by famous artists/bands like Coldplay, Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey, No Doubt and Iggy Azalea. The term cultural appropriation is about the taking over of practices, artistic forms or themes from usually a minority culture. The focus will lay on two different cultures, Indian culture and Native American culture. I will with the help of researchers like Erich Hatala Matthes and James. O Young argue the harms of cultural appropriation, where I will include bell hooks to supports my arguments. My task will also be to enlighten the common behavior traits that show occurring cultural appropriation in music videos. Deeply analysis of these music videos will help me reach my concluded arguments about the harms of cultural appropriation. Every music video will focus on three concepts and they are, romanticization, sexualization and exotification. With tracing these concepts, I will argue the differences of the cultural appropriation Indian culture and Native American culture experiences.
