Actually the early era of YouTube is
She's like 40
You know Kate Pierson is a lesbian, right?
Yes, and?
yes, 90s hip hop videos especially
No 80s
Closer to 60 user
Yes but she's fucking hot
Put it in your hands, take it, take it
The 80s sucked. Nobody knew what they were doing with videos. Only a handful were kino.
like this youtube.com
MTV was already dying in '90s.
They began replacing music videos with The Real World and other shit as early as 1992.
Adorable.
She's 70. No joke.
Oldfag here.
Truth be told, music videos always sucked.
>Directed by Hype Williams
Having six-digit budgets helped a lot too.
It was dead by 1998 when 90% of the videos were nighop and teenyshit
Some of them wentovera mil (allegedly)
But that was when gothkino started
This.
Almost every single morning while getting ready for Jr High. Way better then NSync at least.
i know you guys remember this one. don't leave me hanging here
Indeed, and half a mill budgets weren't that rare. Although not the 90s, but I clearly remember that Kanye's "Touch the Sky" had a $1M budget - amongst others, that made the Pamela Anderson "cameo" possible.
Yes the 90s. November Rain and some of those Puff Daddy videos.
I like how you can easily tell whether a 90s music video is from the early or late 90s.
Released in 2000 but feels like a holdover from 1998 or 1999:
It was a fast moving decade
>not posting the most kino 80s music video

No, because they didn’t have this video in them

REM were the masters of videokino

This. 99% of music videos are straight cringe.
Was it kino?

That song is horribly catchy
I fell off my chair the first time I saw this on MTV

Greatest music video of the 90s incoming
horrible. dont nostalgia this garbage
It is, like all of REMs music, overrated, but its good.
What's so good about it?
PROTIP if anyone in this thread is under 30 you dont remember the 90s
>yes, they were good till that fucking edge cringe lord Manson came around.
this...fact.....
That was Kate Pierson from THE B-52'S who was about 40 at the time and hotter than most bitches half her age!!!FACT!!!
This is actually a really cool idea for a video. It's simple but really well executed. Plus this definitely one of the best late period REM singles. Good job user.
My god, the early 2000s were a wasteland

>It was dead by 1998 when 90% of the videos were nighop and teenyshit
It was weird. Back in '96 and '97 alt rock was still mainstream even the weirder stuff, but by '98, SP were pretty much done for, Oasis were washed up, REM were too old, U2's newest album was a flop, The Verve had their own hit but couldn't go further than that. It all ended overnight...
always thought this was oasis
What replaced it though?
RnB, hip-hop, boy bands and girl groups, the only remotely rock/alt stuff was like corporate pop punk and nu metal shit by t
Sledgehammer is generally acknowledged to be the best music video ever made.
P.S. All of Gabriel's vids were good.
>P.S. All of Gabriel's vids were good.
Gabriel's run of singles from the first 10 years of his solo career is impeccable
ill fucking kill you
youtube.com
who remembers this video on mtv all the damn time?
Jangle pop literally doesn't get any comfier than this.
When did Coldplay debut? Must have been around 1998. I remember literally every radio station, tv show, fucking everyone in the media sucking them off over Yellow being apparently the best song ever for months, and people bought into it to the point where there are still people who think Coldplay is the best band in the world. The worst part was that it convinced all indie bands to start copying Coldplays style to gain any sort of popularity, and it completely killed indie music, in the UK at least.
youtube.com
really late 80s technically
You just don't get this sort of dedication in this day and age

This is fucking GOAT. Simple, but so effective and stylish. Classic tune.
I was living in Scotland in 98 and it does feel like that was the year when there was a shift in music!!!FACT!!!
>When did Coldplay debut? Must have been around 1998. I remember literally every radio station, tv show, fucking everyone in the media sucking them off over Yellow being apparently the best song ever for months
Nah mate it was definitely later. I didn't even hear Yellow the first time until like summer 2000 which was when they put out their first record and started becoming popular. Band there was already shit that sounded like Coldplay that had started getting popular in the wake of Britpop, modeled after "Urban Hymns" and "What's the Story"'s ballads like fucking Travis
And he was fucking Denis Van Outen when she was God-tier perfection circa 98-99!!!FACT!!!
>I was living in Scotland in 98
It was like britpop imploded once people like blur and pulp and shit moved on and oasis had been a cultural phenomenon but clearly lost the plot so all you were left with was shitty pop groups like the spice girls and s club 7 or pussy indie bands trying to write the next "wonderwall" or "drugs don't work" or "high and dry"
>Travis
I get where you are coming from with them but even their songs had some energy to them. Coldplay sucked all the life out indie music and it never really recovered.
I read that the R.E.M. dude disliked SHP after the fact and it got a rep as a pussy song. I never really felt that way about it even though I enjoy rougher stuff more overall. It just seemed like a positive upbeat song with a catchy melody.
I always thought it was meant to be ironic.
It was. And yeah, idk why they and their fans hate that song. It's pretty damn good.
Love Morrissey but damn was he hella gay in the early 90s. And then something about him changed starting with Vauxhall and I.
Song was co-written and sang by Noel Gallagher...
The music video format died.
There used to be large chunks of time where they'd play nothing but music videos. By 2000 they had shit like "TRL" where screaming girls would vote on which pop song to watch.
This is hilarious
>yfw Oasis' record label spent $1,000,000 financing this video alone, another $750,000 so the band could record the album in remote state of the art recording studio and live in high end mansion in the middle of the English countryside, another $100,000 to shoot the album cover, and roughly $500,000 spent on drugs and alcohol by the band and their entourage in those two months of recording.
Wasn't Shiny Happy People late 80s?
Early 90s
I remember my older sister always putting on the VH1 channels, The Box, Kiss, MTV 2, Kerrang, Scuzz and Magic.
Kinda miss some of those - made easy watching.
No it was the fall of '91
Just your friendly Scatman John here. Say something nice to me.
michel gondry was the arch duke of music kinography
Looks really good for 1997.

I love the song but I have no idea what the fuck is going on in the video.
Because you can remaster film into higher resolutions
Parachutes was a fantastic album, kys.
