Ask Lemmy

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

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.

Love it - it's like if Zootopia was more honest about it's seedy underbelly

Also, Mr. FEAR by SIAMÉS has a nice animation about an alien (?) and a human merging to make a larger alien (?).

That RTJ video is one of the few I've loved since it released.

Then, I discovered Kendrick Lamar had made a video for Alright. Wow.

2015. I didn't see it until 2018.

!musicvideos@lemmy.world exists, but isn't active. I also have my community !musicsync@lemmy.blahaj.zone but that's a particular niche that I'm not sure if anyone else is interested in, haha. I wish there was somewhere better to discuss music videos but I haven't found such a place either.

This actually gave me nightmares as a child and I was only recently brave enough to watch it again after finding a behind-the-scenes on it on YouTube to squash my fears

Example

Salvatore is great! I've watched every single video he made I could find on YouTube. Step-Grandma and Take Me to America are amazing as well.

The government bans and confiscates all music, and locks up musicians with their instruments and outfits in an underground bunker, where the musicians "cunningly" use these resources to sing in protest, but wait it's actually a premonition for something that hasn't happened yet and time loops itself. Pretty cool

That's pretty cool. Music definitely different than the video.

A girl sees mortality and decay in everything she encounters, and it makes her sick. Rather than continue to reject it, she accelerates the cycle and is hit with a holy accepting light after fulfilling her carnivorous destiny. She and her brother also might have been a vampires all along.

man i love how thom looks like a preppie as much as he looks like a gangsta

Phil can't dance, so maybe that is the reason why he's being blatantly ignored by the pretty lady.

My vote is for Windowlicker. Wicked satire of “horny ho” videos saturating the market at the time.

I was afraid noone is going to mention this!

But note that it is Chris Cunningham, who is a twisted brain behind these.

Another classic: Come to Daddy

The video opens with an old woman (played by Coral Lorne) walking a dog in a grimy, industrial setting. The dog urinates on an abandoned television lying on the pavement, causing it to sputter unexpectedly into life, and a distorted and warping headshot of Richard D. James chants the lyrics. This unleashes a spirit, accompanied by a gang of small children, all of whom bear James' grinning face and who appear to inhabit the abandoned buildings
