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.

    I love the video for Gung Ho

    It’s like they spent a million euros on it but it still came out like a project by a media student.

    The plot? Fuck knows. It starts with “3 days later” with zero context, then introduces half a dozen characters with even less context. Something about a detective? I dunno

    The song itself absolutely fucking rocks which 100% makes up for the utter confusion though lol
