What Can I Say?

I like that the music video genre is becoming an art form.  It’s great when you can not only hear but also see the differences between generations of music. I feel like I’ve stepped into a time machine where I can just look back and see all the creativeness and corniness of my own and past generations. All in all though I just don’t have a passion for music videos; it’s not that I dislike them, I just don’t get into them and it’s making it very difficult for me to find anything to blog on. They’re fun to watch in class but I don’t have any deep insights on them. When I listen to music I kind of come up with my own images in my head and I never watch the music video because I just don’t feel the need. I think that’s where a lot of my artistic inspiration comes from; just being able to see my own images in my head and if I’m passionate enough about what I see I might put it on paper. A lot of the videos I see today are all kind of copy-catting each other- not all, just a lot. That being said, I love it when artists come up with new crazy ways to express themselves in their music videos. Music videos are a great way to push the envelope and for the art of music and the art of pictures reach out and grasp each other.
