The thesis of this paper is to investigate the causes and the outcomes of aggressivity and gender bias in Romanian pop music lyrics. Subsequent to the year 2000 gender-related issues (privacy, gender identity, discrimination, subliminal verbal aggressivity, female nudity and overexposed sexuality) have abandoned the private sphere. Entering the public discourse they underwent intensive exposure, reaching a vulgar and gender aggressive climax in the pop music industry. The abrupt erosion of the private-public boundary has strongly been promoted by verbally aggressive and misogynistic sectors of the Romanian music industry. Despite its deep Orthodox religiousness, the Romanian society still embraces the processes of vulgarization and of hetero -sexualization of the feminine gender, promoted by certain misogynistic niches of the music industry. Which are the socio-cultural and historic causes of the contemporary Romanian scopophilic gaze? What causality stands behind the religious Romanian society devouring the above-mentioned gender violence? Finally, why does the Romanian / Balkan entertainment industry so massively and so successfully expose it?
