Everything was filled with random effects, fisheye lenses, trippy colors, the camera moved literally always, scenes that had nothing to do with the music/lyrics, weirdness for the sake of weirdness, multiple shots of band members just doing random shit and nobody tried doing any try-hard storytelling shit with the video.

They just dont make them like they used to.

[Henry Ortiz]

I get the feeling like current music videos are either "a band playing in one location" or "some preachy story that takes itself waay to seriously".

90s wacky shit trumps all

sometimes they even used to shoot a music video and then say "fuck that, let's do it again with a different director":

what would you call the machinehead song if not metal

[Justin Morales]

[Xavier Brooks]

both of the La's were the same video but I know what the original looks like

[Connor Morris]

Because it was the first time since the creation of the medium that the creators were mostly turned off by the corporate aspect of everything. This coupled with the throwback to visual experimentation of the 60's and 70's allowed not only a new but an interesting product to come about.

Something to remember about the 90's is that a lot of the interesting groups that became popular were around for a long fucking time before they became popular, they built up an underground following that kept them in money and allowed them to retain at least a modicum of creative influence. Also, artist run labels were a thing at this time with people like Ian MacKaye running Dischord and Greg Ginn and SST provided artists a place to release the music they wanted to release. I mean shit, Ipecac Records was formed so Mike Patton could put out his records that got turned down by other labels.

[Joseph Green]

machine head has never been metal

[Brody Powell]

then what are they

[Christian Brown]

Julia Valet
I'm pretty sure Marilyn Manson fucked her at some point

Jesus Christ, KoRn had the worst god damn lyrics ever.

[Luis Cox]

I heard she fucked her way up to a job alright. How else do you explain someone with zero screen presence landing that job?

[Nathan Clark]

shit

[Brody Flores]

YOU'LL JUST SUCK MOI DICK AND FUCKING LOIKE IT

[Caleb Sanchez]

at the time they were mostly groove metal. You might not like it, but it's a legitimate subgenre of heavy metal.
Are you fucking 15? I haven't heard similar discussions since I was that age.

One of my favorite stories is when my friend was pregnant with her second child she was working at Grumpy's in Minneapolis and Melvins were playing and Buzzo pointed at her 8 month pregnant gut and yelled, "Name it Buzz!" Fucking love Melvins up here.

>tfw the bassist and lead vocalist ends up marrying Tera Patrick and doing porn with her, then he leaves her for Little Lupe

[Angel Baker]

I could imagine Prison Sex probably fucking up alot of kids

But I also like Tool more for their music vids than their actual music. Undertow and Aenima are still pretty decent albums tho.
youtube.com/watch?v=_-sqciw2wnE

[Mason Carter]

Lateralus is great too.
10,000 Days is just half-decent and a lot overrated.
I liked Tool a lot in the '90s/early '00s, but I rarely listen to them anymore.

[Samuel Edwards]

Amateur skate bails are pure 90s

I would probably like Tool more if their fanbase wasnt full of pretentious college "intellectuals"
