Why are popular music videos so terrible lately....?

There's never anything good on when you turn on one of the music channels anymore, unless they're playing old songs.

Rihanna's "Rude Boy" was about the last music video that I was willing to watch over and over. Pokerface and Bad Romance are practically the only really, really good music videos for the past few years.

If you think back through the years, you had so many fun and cool videos from Gwen Stefani, Shakira, Beyonce, Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Kylie Minogue.... now we have someone saying "Barbara Streisand" and idiots humming with grins on their faces? What the hell happened?

All these music videos that have been out for the past few months are horrible, with a few exceptions. Total bs. "Cooler than me" is another ridiculous piece of **** tune that I can't stand. I do think that some music videos are still good, but it's just that they're so few and far between and it seems to be getting worse...

Because the only people who pay for music anymore are the tools who support sht factory 'music'
If more people bought music from their favourite indie type bands there would be more money for them to make better vids. Just look at the quality of Irish bands vids in Under Ether for example.

I don't think you actually know what a good music video looks like. Let me show you one.

tl;dr = I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's "it" seems weird and scary to me.
