Jayson Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Some people don't want images forced into their mind about music. In fact, Pearl Jam quit making videos for this reason. However, though, some people might quickly forget the images. For instance, if I see hip-hop videos, I can easily forget the video and associate the music with my own fantasy. Anyway, we see a similar argument about movies and books the movies are based on. Some say the book is better cause you don't get the director's interpretation covering your own.

Patrik Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 i'm pretty much the same into only music and don't care about clips, but it is what it is, video clips are a must in the music industry for commercial purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Depending on the music, band, and songs, the vieos can be both entertaining and explanatory of some songs. Some make good use of it, others don't. It's a case by case basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 It seems like videos have fallen out of fashion, at least outside of hip-hop. It just isn't like the 80s. I wonder why that's the case? Is it really the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Plug Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Sometimes, I will hear a great song, having never came across a promo clip before. Next thing I know, I later discover the track has a music video after all, and I can see why some bands find them embarrassing. It must be the record company making them do it. 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 That would depend on the type of music that we are talking about. There are some songs that don't deserve a music video, but some of these musicians now make videos for every song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Remember that period of time from 2003-2008 where music videos were really inaccessible? There was no TRL that were highlighting the biggest videos at the time and YouTube quite didn't take off yet. I thought music videos were a dead medium then. It was really hard to find them. I think you either stumbled upon them on MySpace or some offshoot of MTV like MTV3 played them. Music videos will be popular for at least the near future as long as YouTube exists.

egghead Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I like watching music videos. I think the visual images add value to the music. But these days in order to become creative they are showing nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
