I am really upset..

about the quality of music videos.
Seriously, it is infuriating.
Do people even want a good product anymore? It seems like they just want the same old dribble handed to them with a spoon.

I'll show you what I mean.
Whatch all of the videos that were nominated at the VMA's.
All of them.
Mostly (with exception of Gnarls Barkley's "Run," Kanye West's "The Good Life," Death Cab for Cuties, "I Will Possess Your Heart," Weezer's "Pork and Beans," and Coldplay's "Violet Hill").
look the same.
All of the rock music videos are just the bands looking edgy.
All of the dancing music videos don't do any unique movies or have a unique look about them in any way.
The Hip-Hop videos are just the rappers faking emotion while they dance.
And then there is Britney.
Who has some how.
Surpassed quality all together and given us this video "Pieces of Me." It won music video of the year.
No.
It's horrible.
It's her kind of dancing and then her on Tabloid Covers.
That is a sliver of unique thought in between the most cliche music video ever made.

Here are my favorite music videos of this year so far.


Pork and Beans


House of Cards


Mr. Pitiful


I Will Possess Your Heart


If I Never See Your Face Again


for the time being I really like this one, but I know that over all it's forgettable.


Champion



I know some of these are kind of strange choices.
and I know that I don't have a lot of music videos here.
If anyone wants to share a music video just leave one and I'll tell you what I think.
I know that sounds dumb but I'm willing to open my mind to a bunch of other stuff here and I don't have any faith in the music industry anymore cause it seems that creativity has died.
