RadioIsOurs 13,876 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Even the early MTV days had more creative videos than today. You can tell that artists are becoming even more cheaper and lazier with their videos. Where's the choreography? Many times the videos just feel like a bunch of scenes pasted together with music playing over it. There's no editing, camerawork or choreography that flows together with the music. Even if there's little substance in the video, at least ramp up the style, serve some looks. But since this isn't the 80s anymore, you can't seem to get away with unique fashion or design choices. And don't even get me started with videos from male artists, which has gotten more and more mundane and unsexy over the years. I hate to say this, but other than Lemonade, Taylor Swift was really the last major artist to serve actual interesting videos... I'm just gonna honour the birth of music videos with this documentary as we witness it's slow death. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fame Joanne 5,985 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 It's not worth the money anymore bc people stream for free. Also there aren't really new big artists who could bring something new with videos. They are only there for one or two hits nowadays Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batwings 12,885 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I remember the early 2000s when SO MANY videos consisted of nothing but shots of people dancing in a club or dancing in front of a colorful background. We're headed in that direction again, and I DO NOT LIKE IT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwerkinLurkin 4,764 Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 The every day gp person doesn't really care about videos anymore. They'd rather just stream the song and listen to it. I think streaming killed videos. And I think since American tv doesn't play music videos anymore no one cares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
