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.

    I’ve always been puzzled by the Stabbing Westward video Shame. It features a fairly disturbing plot of a woman and her boyfriend who escaped from an insane asylum. However, the portions where the band is playing are completely contrary to the “plot” of the video and almost comical.
