Listening to: Filter- Take a Picture
I was talking with everyone's favourite friendly neighbourhood Skipants the other day, and I was reminded of something from the past:
Do you remember the time when music videos actually mattered? I can remember being blown away by Korn's video for Freak on a Leash, remember that one? Where it follows a bullet in slow motion as it tears through random things. That was fucking cool. Well, maybe it was cool to my retarded grade 8 ass, but I digress.
I think it's a mixture though of me and my friends getting older and the fact that there isn't much else to do with music videos anymore that has led to the state we are in where no one watches them anymore. I can't remember the last time I've seen a music video on tv. Maybe I'm just getting older but they all look the same to me. Rap videos all have fancy cars and skanky women and "ice" in them, and rock videos feature the band playing randomly somewhere with some random story thrown in on the side. And another thing, you don't even get to see rock videos anymore. I think every show on Much Music is rapcity now. 24 hours of RapCity guest hosted by some Canadian rapper I've never heard of because Master P realized that he needed to get the hell outta there. But yes, all RapCity all the time, that is, when they are actually showing music videos. But I'm not even going to get into all the other crap they show on that channel.
I guess I just miss the days of Foo Fighters' "Learn to Fly" and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Californication", that's all. I miss days when I could be entertained by music videos. Although, with all the skanks and hoes in music videos these days, I guess being aroused by them nowadays is just as good.
