It's such a good video, but it just captures your attention so well. So I think a lot of up and coming bands should take advantage of making music videos. It's easy to make a good video, low budget. You just need a good story. You can do it with iphones. And I've seen professional bands do with iphones, and they still look awesome
I have to sort of owe to the Tim I spent watching music videos when I was growing up. We had channels like The Box, MTV VH One VH One classic. And I think some of my favorite memories as a child were the nights that I stayed up a little bit later than I should have and just binge watched as many music videos as I could. And as my musical taste evolved, I was able to sort of move around from channel to channel and pick up on new things

I've got a really dumb question. And just curious as to, you know, how a kid, how does a ten year old kid consume music videos these days? I mean, I assume it's on YouTube, but on YouTube, how is there or specific channels that they watch where they're introduced to new music? I'm thinking of it in the lines of like an MTV comes out. And there was just nothing

That's sort of how I found a lot of my favorite bands. I just go from one YouTube video to the next. That being said, the music videos themselves, I feel certainly in the last five or so years have shifted towards more of a production driven music video. So there are storylines or a lot of special effects or something that makes it more like a spectacle

The current artists have no need or they don't get their music out through music videos and historical artists. They were working before the television, the same with classic RnB, soul and Motown. These artists were around before the video era, so I think the melodic hooks, the arrangements are enough to grab my attention, whether I'm shopping, whether I'm listening to dinner, whether I'm at work, I think the music is enough. I don't need a video. I will

And I'll check out a few tracks of each one. And if anything stands out to me, then I will immediately go on YouTube and try to watch any live videos or any music videos just to kind of get more of an idea of what this musician is about. But Unfortunately, I don't think most people seek out new music as actively. I wish they did, because there's a lot of good music out there. If you just look

I love Early Lamb stuff because it has such a strong visual aesthetic that's captured so well by the sound of the music, and they play off of each other so well. And I think the music videos definitely have that ability to coincide in that same way

Hey, Taylor. Yeah. That same feeling that you get from watching. Why? Why music videos matter? Same way. I know that. I know music is something we've talked about so many times before, but I think it's such. It was such a shame for me when VH. One and MTV stopped showing videos because there were so many days when I got home from school and would just turn on the TV and whether it was playing in the background or not

So it had the weirdest playlist, because sometimes it would play the same video over and over. That was obscure where I think too. It just wasn't paying the bills anymore. Mtv, they had to find different ways. People weren't watching music videos. They were watching a reality TV, a company with the music in it. So it's still important, I would say, as you were saying, but I don't necessarily think
