YT, Lancey Foux, and Fimiguerrero have the best music videos if you’re looking for frutiger metro/y2k visuals. So refreshing in an age where ppl are caring less and less about their craft. I shall make another rec about craft i’m thinking.

Common was all over this aesthetic in the 00s, just look at the Finding Forever album cover

@MILKCRATE I’d also say this about the Boom Boom Pow music video by the Black Eyed Peas. Just pointing out how i like when modern artists do it too 🙏🙏

@KIANROCK Oh of course, I love YT's whole thing (and Lauzza), I was just joking because that era of Common got clowned so hard

Yves Tumor - Kerosene! (Official Video)

Anybody remember a clip show about banned music videos that, incidentally, ended up on one of the networks that banned them? It was either VH1 or MTV2, and they ran stuff like Nine Inch Nails’s “Closer,” Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy,” and Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up.” Anyway, I was glued to the TV whenever it came on and I think a lot of my aesthetic sensibilities came from that 90s-00s golden age, making me into (regrettably) a bit of a music video snob. No offense, but the VFX-driven spectacles of today just don’t hit when you cut your teeth on stuff from CANADA and the Directors Bureau (whose website sadly doesn’t even have their best stuff anymore). The unique exception is director Cody Critcheloe, who goes by SSION (pronounced like the latter half of *passion*), and his new video for Yves Tumor is nothing less than what I’ve come to expect from the multihyphenate: a hyperreal vision of Los Angeles replete with larger-than-life characters who are characteristically drawn up from real life, and handmade props that belong in a museum, but I’ll settle for a gallery. (In this case, it’s a smashed-up hand-painted sunburst convertible and a leather jacket with a The Cochran Firm logo.) It’s the stuff dreams are made of, cementing Critcheloe as one of the most exciting and visionary directors of our time (other notable mentions include Eugene Kotlyarenko, Anne Alexander, and Minister Akins).

Anti-rec: lofi music video aesthetics

I am so so so bored of lofi music videos shot on mini dv / hi8 / 2000s camcorders. It‘s 2025 people - have some ambition.
Feels like people are relying on the aesthetics of the medium to carry their work and forgetting that the concept and subject and content of the video itself needs to be interesting.
felt like being a hater today.

Music video theory

Trying to remember that there doesn't have to be a clear narrative or dramatic production to make a good music video. It just needs what, like,, engaging camera/subject movement + somewhat cohesive color/texture? trying to try every day. Any advice? I love music and videos

2000-2010s era internet humor.

I miss it dearly and I think it could do for a return. The modern brainrot is starting to feel more like battery acid and less like pixel gun 3d. Hell, pixel gun 3d needs to come back as well. Everyone hop on please it’s free on steam. anyways. I miss when being “too deep” into internet jokes was spinning around irl and saying “360 no scope.” or loss. who knows loss. loss is a real good one. send post.
