In the 90s, there was no avoiding this video. It was on MTV every hour, and the song was on the radio every hour, and there was no Internet as it is known today. I was very tired of this song back then. I definitely appreciate it much more now. It's an absolute masterpiece.

To me, this is like the grunge response to the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." As for computer graphics, we really didn't have much of anything decent till about 2000. "The Matrix" was 1999, and LotR started in 2001. "Blade," which came out in 1998 had worse graphics. So right around 2000 is when the graphics server farms started kicking in to create CGI.

I agree with you that reactors who weren't around when MTV was a big thing get totally distracted to this video and it clouds their experience of the song. I think watching the videos of most songs is a net positive, though. But yeah, this one, most reactors don't really 'hear' the song as its own thing, which is a shame.

I've always loved this song and knew it from buying the cd and listening to the radio. I didn't watch mtv in the 90s and upon seeing this video, I absolutely hate it. I don't know if the director was trying to channel David Lynch or something, but it just doesn't match the music at all. A ridiculous video like that can only hurt a song, don't know why Soundgarden approved it.

@@andrewcole3736 I absolutely love those, too, 100%. But there have been some insanely amazing concept videos that had everyone talking when they were released on MTV. Take on You, Sledgehammer etc, and some video directors made really fun videos (Talking Heads 'Wild Wild Life' came right to mind but many more), atmospheric/drama/thriller/performance videos like 'Janie's Got a Gun' etc. So, so many different types of successful videos. But it's true, a good performance video is amazing.

This video was a satire on the Suburban life style at the time, it depicts a suburban neighborhood and its vain citizens and how their vanity could open a portal to Hell and suck them all into the firey pits. I think that Alfred said it best here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3uUnKKLZ5uUm7s

@@stickman1742 Well either way, Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" is considered their signature song and helped make the band global stars in the mid-1990s. The song was released in 1994 as the third single from their album Superunknown and topped the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart for seven weeks. It also reached number one on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart, and was in the top 10 in Australia, Canada, France, and Ireland, and number one in Iceland, and the Music video was released in 1994 so I think that it helped the Band reach # 1.

Once upon a time we used to judge a song based on the music we heard, not the video we saw. That said, the creatives went into overdrive with this video, so whaddya s'posed to do? Yes, I remember this video's effects being very cutting edge back in the day, even if they look dated now. (Compare/contrast with the Jim Carrey movie, "The Mask," which came out the same year as this video.) A deep cut reference very few people will appreciate today: the actor combing his hair at 8:41, bearing that (very-much-on-purpose) devilish grin, is none other than "Bob," the mystery character at the center of the superb TV show "Twin Peaks" (1990-1991). To say more about Bob would be a spoiler, but it's obvious, yes, that the creative team was shooting for something beyond the norm. I mean, really...Bob? Wow. IYKYK. And yet...just listen to the music on this one, maybe? Also, "Spoonman" should be your next Soundgarden song.

This song is super famous & was extremely popular. Separate it from the video. It may be a bit slower (but that was often grunge style) but it's very hard, as in being very intense plus the instrumentation & vocals go very hard at various points. The softer bits are the juxtaposition/contrast to the intense & make it very appealing by doing that. Chris Cornell said 'Black Hole Sun' doesn't mean anything, lol, he just liked how it sounded.

There were two versions of this music video. Initially, the video didn't have nearly as many facial distortions, although there was some animation (like the tongue). After a couple of weeks, a new version of the video was being broadcast, replacing the initial version. This is the version that you watched and reacted to. My guess is that the CG distortions and animated scenes were not finished by the time that the song was set to be released, so the first version was a partially completed video, and then the version you saw was broadcast in regular rotation once it was ready. I saw both versions, but missed my chance to get the first version recorded so I could save it on VHS.

If I was having a conversation with someone and it came up that they were unfamiliar with Black Hole Sun, I'd be like "Are you even legally old enough to be in this bar?" This album, leading with this song, made them go from playing little alt venues to playing arenas overnight. There's a great Marc Maron interview with Chris Cornell shortly before he "committed suicide" which is worth a listen, but in it he says he didn't realize why Black Hole Sun became a massive hit. I understand that an artist doesn't own the interpretation of their work by the audience, but Cornell flat out says the lyrics are completely stream of consciousness. Anyway, if you like grunge this album is pretty much perfect start to finish.
