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.

    That’s pretty cool. Music definitely different than the video.

    A girl sees mortality and decay in everything she encounters, and it makes her sick. Rather than continue to reject it, she accelerates the cycle and is hit with a holy accepting light after fulfilling her carnivorous destiny. She and her brother also might have been a vampires all along.
