i can't make a sweeping judgment like that about music clips. for me it depends on the song, the artist and the visuals. some are crass and others are brilliant.
recently a friend sent me a patti smith youtube vid. she is singing "free money" and the visuals are black and white stills of her in the 70's. it' s very good and a fave of mine.
then of course there might be a rhianna vid that i find completely inane.
Disturbia, I'm guessing? That was quite creepy, and I'm not normally creeped out by stuff.
The Umbrella vid (and lyrics) is filled with Satanic messages and symbolism. The song is actually about demonic possession and the economic crisis (I had a link to a detailed analysis, but I lost it somewhere).
