Best Music Videos of All Time

Music videos are the reason I breathe (not really), but they are my life. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent watching videos, but it's probably somewhere around half my life. So  I decided that I would share some of my favorite music videos with you.

NUMBER ONE. Emperor's New Clothes by Panic! At the Disco. I'm not going to go into too much detail because I wrote a whole post about it, but the reason I love it is because not only the camera angles are sick but because the way Demon Brendon Urie evolves throughout the video is awesome.

Next up is Fall Out Boy's Young Blood Chronicles. This is actually a series of music videos, all of them from the Save Rock and Roll album. The story they tell through the videos is awesome and even though Pete Wentz is a horrible actor, it was still really fun to watch.

Now we have Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana. I love it because there is really no point to it, it's just a bunch of people having fun at a Nirvana concert that happens to be at a high school gym. Plus the best part is the janitor jamming out. 

The music video for Foxes song Amazing is in my top five. It's just a bunch of friends going on an adventure and having a great time together. It is literally friendship goals, I mean, who doesn't want to drive around in an ugly orange van with your favorite people?

Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots. Everyone knows this song, but does everyone know the video? Watching Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun ride through a neighborhood on trikes drinking Capri Suns is definitely one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. It is also friendship goals, and don't even get me started on the handshake that goes down in this video.

New Americana by Halsey is definitely a thriller. For a musician, Halsey is actually a great actor, and her dystopian themed video wouldn't have been nearly as cool without her in it. The video fits the song so well too, it's just so perfect.

Lastly, Disco//Very - Keep It Healthy by Warpaint is a fun video to watch. There's nothing really special about, it's just the band walking around and singing their song while some random skateboarder is throwing ollie's in the background, but hey, it's fun to watch and the song is good.

Well, that's all of now, the list goes on but I don't want to keep you here for seven years. See you next time. ;)

All Music Is Music

Hello good people of the world and welcome to my rant. Yes, I am going to rant about music because I see a lot of crap in the music world and I have something to say about it. (DISCLAIMER: This post is person opinions and there no scientifically proven facts except for the fact that everyone likes Taylor Swift a little bit and even that one isn't very scientific).

People, you need to understand that just because you don't like a genre of music or a band or song, it doesn't mean its bad. Compare music to food. You have pizza, which almost everyone loves. Pizza is like Taylor Swift because no matter how much you deny it, you kind of like her music at least a little bit. Now take cheese, some people like it some people don't. Cheese is like rap music because there are people who love it people who would rather listen to Adele. Then you have a strange food like eggplants. How can someone like eggplants? Well this food is like Justin Bieber. You think that no one would like it, but people do, they're just hiding.
You might be wondering what this has to do with anything. Well your brain is like your tongue. Some  music is appealing to your taste buds while other music isn't your favorite but you'll still listen to it and there are just some music genres that taste sour and bitter to you. But heres the secret: just because you don't like it doesn't mean its bad.
What's that? You didn't hear me? Let me repeat myself. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE IT DOESN'T MEAN ITS BAD MUSIC.

There are so many people out there that give other people a ton of crap because they think their music taste is crap. Well you know what? What if that person doesn't like John Cena and you do? How would you feel if they started telling you that John Cena was crap and not real music? I would be mad as heck (you have no idea how I react when someone insults Fall Out Boy).
Why can't we all just accept the fact that our brains work differently and not all music is appealing to us? This leads me to another point: if you show someone a song you like and they don't like it, don't be mean to them. So what if that person doesn't like a Adele's amazing and revolutionary work of art? They can't control the fact that they don't have a good taste in music. I'M TOTALLY KIDDING. Like  I said before, people have different tastes in music and that's okay.

My fellow music junkies, we are all here for the same reason, because we love music. So let us come together in one big punk-grunge-rap-country-pop-classical-rock and roll-hip hop-dubstep hug and share our love with one another. Let's remember why we love music and not why we hate some music, because all music is music.
