In 2013, Robin Thicke, Pharrell Williams and TI released "Blurred Lines" and it was a huge success in America and around the world, reaching number one on most top charts musical and bringing in millions. in income for them. Most people enjoyed the song for its catchy beat or the smooth sounds of Robin Thicke's voice, myself included. But once you start hearing the words more often, you start to really listen and pay attention to what they're saying. After finally listening to what they're actually saying and watching the extremely racy and controversial music video, you have a big controversy on your hands. This allowed the Auckland Law Revue to create "Defined Lines" to critique and parody the song, in order to highlight the sociological impacts.

Allowing us to improve as a society and work towards a goal of equal rights.

It also addresses themes such as gender inequality and sexuality, which are very controversial topics in their own right, but can shed new light on a recurring problem in our world. This has brought a whole new understanding of these issues and the ways in which we, as a society, can
