Our band name

Females in music videos are usually looked at as sexual objects, in which they have no role except for to arouse males and are treated as props. On the other hand, males are portrayed as the dominant person and are referred to as trouble makers, drinkers and smokers. In a feminist way of removing the representation of women in music videos, we decided to switch roles as a form of mockery. This is how we came up with the band name ‘Gendercide’. Genocide is defined as the deliberate destruction of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. So our play on this word means the deliberate destruction of stereotypical gender roles.
