I did not know that.

That for my money, is probably one of the all time great music videos. The song by itself is a classic (Is that classical music?) but the video just really pushes the entire creation into top-tier music status.

Got to say, I have not seen this. However, the first thing I thought of was a Zoolander look.

When I was a teenager, The Prodigy - Smack my bitch up (very NSFW) blew my mind. And you know what? It holds up.

I'm not familiar with the first one, but the second one is another Michel Gondry video

not to be the negative nancy but whenever we have this conversation it's always kind of the same conversation. understandably because, you know, that was the height of music video making, and music video seeing, and also we're old now so we're not really like seeing new music videos, right? maybe?

it's also sort of tricky because like yeah david fincher did direct madonna videos but we're in the present now so we dont know who the future him is who's directing youtube videos now

and i don't really want to make generalizations about the music scene, like, when i was younger and had access to downloading entire albums i was still just picking one or two songs off of them or just downloading one song out of napster, so listening to one song at a time on youtube isn't anything new, but, hey, it's a video platform, right? so, like, great place to have some really awesome music videos right

but, uh, shrugging. i can name some music videos that have been made recently: here's a good, a fun one by Beast in Black, but I wouldn't say it was like one of the best, and it won't shake out as one of the best in ten years either

Miike Snow's - Genghis Khan, though, might absolutely. That's not very recent, but way more recent than the rest of the list. Oh, and how about uh Run Boy Run. Wait, fuck, that's ten years old too.

I honestly have to say, I thought the video to Old Town Road was a lot of fun. I’d really like to know who had the idea of putting Billy Ray Cyrus in that. It was such a weird cameo.

Right?

At first, the only people making videos were people who wanted to do something different, your Peter Gabriel types, or before MTV you had David Bowie making "videos" on film. In the post-MTV era, it became "necessary" for a single to have a video. Once that point was reached, bands that felt obligated to have a video but with no ideas starting churning out garbage videos of just, the band.

I remember, for Men at Work's video for "Land Down Under," the band explained that the director drove them out into the desert, pointed a camera at them, and told them just to run around and act crazy. That's what the video is.

This reminds me of the Monkees, lol
I am necroing this thread to let you know they used Separate Ways unironically during a tense scene in Stranger Things and it is difficult to take it seriously if you know the music video exists.
