but still, for somebody who listens to as much music as I do, this is not the Right Attitude.
Why isn't it the Right Attitude? I don't understand why it would be musical heresy to love music videos.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
'Cuz it's supposed to be about the music, man!
Or is it because MTV sucks?

After I discover a new band I like, I go to Google and look for images of them. I like seeing what (if any) their visual style is.

The song's pretty cool, too.
I love the song. But I'm a huge NIN fan.

Hmmm.... that makes me think... in the last year and a half I've bought a bunch of albums from iTunes. I just realized that for most all of those bands I have no idea what they look like - or anything else, for that matter.

I was listening to Pretty Hate Machine the other day, and was struck by just how ... poppy it sounded. Sulky and angry, yes, but undeniably pop music.

There's a strong bias that music shouldn't get over on visuals. That, in fact, most crap music and the most commercial pop, sell because Britney's belly is bare or like that. It's a very strongly held notion in punk/indie orthodoxy that videos are evil, 'mersh, cheezy, inauthentic, corporate.

That album is pretty poppy, yeah, with all the deets and doots. The rest of his oeuvre, I don't see the pop so much. Of course, I don't really know what the hell "poppy" is supposed to mean.
Is "March of the Pigs" poppy? What about "Starfuckers, Inc."?
Whoa, if you look at the word "poppy" enough, it starts to look like "poopy."

Hmmph. But don't they realize that videos are another way to get your complete artistic philosophy across? And that the rabidly-devoted fans want a way to see their musical heros even if they can't get to a show?
I suspect this is part of the reason a lot of punk & "indie" musicians sneer at goth bands. Just about every goth (or goth-ish) band likes the idea of videos. Which reminds me, I need to see if I can track down the video compilation released at the same time as the Cleopatra Records Goth Bible CD set.

Oh, it's definitely a part of it. It's seen as an indicator of shallowness.
