21 of the craziest music videos of all time

For those under 30: Once upon a time there was a magical television channel named MTV that stood for “music television.” Uh-huh, yes, a bit like a YouTube channel, but on a TV instead of a tablet. Yes, the same as the t-shirts at Target. On this TV channel they played “Music videos“, which were like short films that were used for advertising and often reinforced an artist's artistic message song. Yes, like TikTok, except… no, yes, like TikTok.

To those over 30: Remember music videos? That was fun, right?

And strange. For every standard “Dancing together in a picturesque place” TRL Darling, there was a completely outlandish clip from a prog rock band or a director with ambition that could only be shown late at night or on the newfangled internet machine. That inspired me User thatslitdoe to ask r/AskReddit“What’s the craziest music video you’ve ever seen?”
