All I see in these videos are half naked pop stars or naked pop stars and if that is how they choose to present themselves than that is fine but I personally would not call that "creative"

My point is, their creativity as an artist is not necessarily linked to the marketing and I think it's unfair for you to discredit their creativity just because it isn't being used in a way you appreciate.
