The last 30 years has brought some very iconic music videos. For example do you remember the first time you saw 'Thriller'- MICHAEL JACKSON (the full 15 version of it)? Or what about 'Bohemian Rhapsody'-QUEEN? Both those videos were made 70s/80s.
So what about the 90's? Well 1990 saw MADONNA's 'Vogue' video released. Im sure that more than a few of you have seen that video. There were plenty of fans at the time trying to copy the dance routine & 'strike a pose'. (However, MADONNA is not the first artist to incorparate dance into her videos. Of course, there is MICHAEL JACKSON. Again, some fans would try & copy the dance routines. Dance in music videos are still around today. Artists such as Lady gaga, Beyonce, One Direction etc all have dance in there videos).
In 1998 JAMIROQUAI released the music video 'Deeper Underground' which was taken from the film GODZILLA. In the music video there were a few clips taken from the film. Again this still happens today where a song from the soundtrack of a film has clips in the music video.
The 00's we had an iconic music video from RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS. What was it? Can you remember? The one where the band are in a video game. It was 'Californication'. I know there are a few others as well.
Today we have artists such as Lady Gaga, Beyonce etc making some iconic videos for the future. Pushing the boundaries.
What will the future of music videos be? (We've had the first 3D music video. Who was it? It was not Bjork, Aphex Twin, Kanye West. Can you think who? It was in fact MISSY ELLIOT, for her song Ching-a-ling). So who knows what the future will hold. We'll just have to wait & see.
