I mean music videos that have nothing to do with the music and mostly just do their own thing and tell their own story.
An example –
Basement Jaxx’s Red Alert seems to be about a meteor-worshiping cult awaiting the arrival of their rocky messiah in some unsuspecting greasy spoon cafe in the middle of nowhere.
Once the meteor crashes into Earth, everyone gets horribly mutated and convulses to the strange rays exhibited by the meteor. The infection seems to be localized entirely within the cafe. The End.
Edit: Please link to a video, or at least summarize the plot.
Edit2: Please actually link to a video, or tell me why the video plot is cool. Come on, it’s just 30 seconds of your time.
Come now, DJ Snake Turn Down for What makes no sense but is amazing.
That’s a lot of fun. I’m gonna go with: guy gets infected with a restless virus that makes body parts indestructible. Transmission is spread through breaking floors and body slamming people. Once it exhausts its hosts it lives on that guys dick. 10/10
'twas directed by the guys behind Everything Everywhere All At Once
A lot of movie directors start with commercials and music videos. It is training for making long videos by making a lot of short ones.
Dating myself a bit, but Men Without Hats " Safety Dance" is a clear indicator of how much cocaine was consumed in the 80s.
Hah, that music video is genuinely a pretty accurate depiction of your average England village’s May Day celebrations. I went to one this year, got drunk watching old men skipping about while wearing bells, kids tying up a pole with ribbon, folk band (minus the fabulous Mike Edmonds as seen is this video) playing fiddle and more, sitting around on a bunch of straw bales, and cuddled a goat kid while my dog obsessed over a Shetland pony until my partner told us to go home.

Murders. I don’t want to spoil any more than that because it has a twist.
Michael Jackson’s Speed Demon is ultra weird.
Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice : Random guy dances through an empty hotel for no particular reason
Telephone by Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce. The song is about not answering your phone in the club because you’re dancing. The video is about Beyonce breaking Gaga out of prison and then tracking down and murdering an ex boyfriend. It also has some top tier crazy Gaga costumes including a set of shades made of lit cigarettes. Good track if you like dance-pop as well!
you should check this out too… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11CKOAQDsbg
That is absolutely amazing, I love it! I really hope Gaga has seen this
Lone Digger by Caravan Palace. It’s about a murder-brawl at an animal strip club.
Also, Mr. FEAR by SIAMÉS has a nice animation about an alien (?) and a human merging to make a larger alien (?).
People punch animals. Animals helpless. Man save animals by breaking into houses with his shoe car.
Half boy, half motorbike. Travels the world to meet the half girl, half jetski.
Really anything from this guy
I have questions. I’m not sure what those questions are yet, but I definitely have some
