Abstract :
This term paper is about research on how the king princess puts meaning in the
songs she sings through media in the form of songs and also music videos, this
study aims to find the implied meaning behind video clips and also song lyrics,
through semiotics we can find out the meaning of denotation and the connotations
the songwriter or singer is trying to convey. Here I also use the queer theory, namely
the theory of gender performativity where it is explained that gender is something
that is displayed to the public not the type of sex that we have at birth, here King
Princess through the media of songs and video clips tries to convey this with lyrics
that lead to the queer theory which discussing gender and sexuality. She clearly
describes her sexuality which is she is a part of the LGBTQ+ community through
the media of song lyrics and visuals through videos that describe her attraction to
women. In addition, gender is also tried to be displayed through video clip media
which depicts her changing masculine and feminine clothes, this is very closely
related to queer theory where gender is trying to be displayed through the clothes
she wears.
