21 of the Most Unhinged Music Videos of All Time
For the under-thirties in the crowd: Once upon a time, there was a magical TV channel called MTV that stood for “music television.” Uh-huh, yeah, kind of like a YouTube channel, but on a TV instead of a tablet. Yes, the same as the one on the T-shirts at Target. On this TV channel, they played “music videos,” which were like short films that were used to advertise and often enhance the artistic message of a song. Yep, like TikTok, except… no, yeah, like TikTok.To the over-thirties: Remember music videos? Those were fun, huh?And weird. For every standard “dancing in unison at a scenic locale” TRL darling, there was a completely out-there clip from some prog-rock outfit or director with ambition that could only be shown late at night or on the newfangled internet machine. Which is what inspired user thatslitdoe to ask r/AskReddit, “What’s the craziest music video you’ve seen?”
