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.

    It’s visual commentary on society itself, as well as how fucked this system we’ve all built is to both our inner & outer nature.

    Are these media systems self-sustaining? Aren’t apples the symbol of knowledge? Or will our inner animalism escape, in spite of the processed knowledge, given even the slightest chance?

    Might be reading into it too much, though.
