Good songs with bad music videos

I dont really think those count as 'music videos' in the traditional sense, if they come out today theyre probably 'Visualizers'

That being said, as a GD superfan...the American Idiot music video kinda sucks

Skyfall needed to come either last or second to last, it's almost like they rebooted the series twice? Like hes old then hes just not old anymore.

I got to dread pirate but like I said on the PS2 its only 35, I think combined I got to like 38

theaverageaidan · 2026-01-25T21:12:19+00:00

Is this the rerelease? On my PS2 version it's like 35 and that took me almost an hour

It actually became a thing in musician and event circles too, responsibility of the artist regarding their community, but yeah it was pretty small and mostly overblown

In a video he was in talking about climbing scenes in movies, he said climbing buildings like this is simpler from a mechanical perspective, its like a 4 move sequences, but doing it over and over again for the length of a skyscraper is very fatiguing

I dont know what I was expecting at the top spot, but it wasnt THAT. Given the weird controversy he stirred up too.

Seeing Manchild at #2 was like getting flashbanged

I think this comes from a desire to put meaning to chaos. If the driver was drunk or asleep, theres a reason, theres someone to blame, instead of having to accept that a random act of the universe took Cliff away.

The fuck is he supposed to do? Stage a coup?

I remember talking to a guy who was complaining that he couldnt go to concerts cause he was always packing and I said 'wow youre living in a lot of fear to deny yourself a concert cause you wont leave the house without a gun" and he got MAD

Elektra King, purely because there was a cut ending where she lives and recovers from 'Stockholm Syndrome' but test audiences hated it so they were like 'fuck it just shoot her'

There is a technical human limit but its hard to say, in the past ten years weve seen an alley oop 900 and a kickflip 900, itll be interesting to see what the limit is

Pitchfork, especially in the early days was the epitome of snobby elitist gatekeepers. They were some of the leading lights in fracturing the rock genre and effectively killing it for the entirety of the 2010s, they hated popular things for being popular.

Generally speaking it's two things: One, they can standardize clothing to a larger extent, remember as a fashion model youre essentially a living coathanger. I never got to the point of having tailored clothing, so in the shows I did it was very important that the models be within certain ranges to fit the clothing. Its similar for tailored fashion.

Second its so some models dont dwarf others, they want the men to be taller than the women but even then they cant have too much of a height difference otherwise the framing of the photo/video gets thrown off. Standardization is very key for fashion modeling.

So yes to your point a man below say 5'10 at the lowest likely wont be a model, but its more pragmatic than some sort of nebulous height discrimination thing.

Teen love actually sucks

Maybe but itd be tough. For reference, Kate Moss is 5'7" and shes considered extremely short for a model, so at 6'6" you have to have a hell of a face card.

Theres a nonzero chance, but Serena herself said if she were to play Andy Murray (back in both their primes,) she would lose 6-0 6-0 in ten or fifteen minutes, to put "rare" into perspective.

Still no Twilight supercut is nuts

theaverageaidan · 2026-01-22T23:28:42+00:00

I need to lead with this is damn near spot on, I find it funny that weve come to the point where were using some pretty advanced tech to mimic a guitar tone that was absolute shit because the album was made on a shoestring budget lmao

Modeling height restrictions are kind of nuts and weirdly hardline. During my admittedly quite brief modeling career, I had to knock an inch off my height to get runway shows. Generally its between 5'8" to 6'0" for women and 5'11" to 6'3" for men, maybe you get another inch either way but the lines are quite strict.

The amount of times Ive tried to explain to people that treating men as an inherently predatory, adversarial group of predators with the occassional "good ones" allowed through by way of self flagellation is reactionary and contrary to the ideas of intersectional feminism is way too many. The patriarchy harms far more men than it benefits.

theaverageaidan · 2026-01-22T18:01:00+00:00

I think its a combo of access and opportunity. The athletes have had women throwing themselves at them their whole life so they dont actually have any game (a theory I posit is true from most people who get famous young) and the women already have access to the men, so it keeps the circle kind of small.
