@@englishatheart Okay cool, no offence taken! What I’ve decided as I’ve gotten older, is that focusing on correcting someone’s pronunciation or grammar when you’re in a casual setting, usually only serves to take away from the conversation. As long as I understand what you’re trying to say, the language is serving its purpose. Nothing wrong with noticing mistakes, just make sure you’re not missing the conversation at hand 💜

Nobody was complaining about "cultural appropriation" when Madonna made the music video "Nothing Really Matters". That is entirely a 2010s & 2020s thing.

Jim & Meatloaf finally reconciled and Meatloaf released it as a duet with Maron Raven in 2006. Personally I prefer the duet version to Celine singing it alone.

[@Roger-zf1ne]

Could have most all of the Chili Peppers vids on this list , they still today are making some strange ones , but the music is still good.

Trivia: The guy doing pushups in the Black Hole Sun video is the same guy that played Rocky in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

[@CassandraElkin]

Really? Cool! I had heard that he gave up show business in shame after playing Rocky. Perhaps the interim success of Susan Sarandon, Barry Bostwick, and Meatloaf changed his mind

[@jasongodwin1319]

7:45 It would only be called cultural appropriation by some Americans standards.Japanese have repeatedly said that they like it when other people appreciate and take part in their culture. This makes sense when you consider the real definition of cultural appropriation is to say that a different culture created something other than the one that did. IE it could only be cultural appropriation if Madonna said white people invented the kimono.

[@ssm090]

I love how the 90s was so weird there’s a top 30 list lol

[@oasisbeyond]

well it can have a tp 50 and 80's can have a top 100.

[@myaliasnameis]

They’re really trying to trigger the Gen X crew. Hahaha- good luck. We didn’t get “triggered.”

[@Julie-p6u6m]

Black hole Sun is freaking awesome by one of the best bands of all time with arguably one of the best male vocalists of all time! RIP Chris Cornell 💔

[@jasonisaacs6069]

Spike Jonze Michel Gondry Roman Coppola Hype Williams Stephane Sednaoui David Fincher Mc G Chris Cunningham The masterminds of 90s music videos. Also, directors of some of the greatest movies of our time.

[@erinlizzie09]

"It's all coming back to me now" is one of my favorite Ciline Dion songs and the video is perfection.

[@afaris88]

Ridiculous? Calling music videos nowadays too boring is more fitting than calling these music videos ridiculous.

[@nasholston5112]

You could’ve just made this a list featuring only Busta and Missy

[@VDOTU5]

Ridiculous that Busta isn't on the list.

[@nasholston5112]

@@VDOTU5 I haven’t even finished watching so I’m shocked he isn’t on here

[@brandongordon2392]

Basically

[@goodfellabeats]

Criminal that a Busta video wasn't on here. Just a straight up crime.

[@trishajackson9678]

They may be ridiculous but we Gen Xers loved them then and love them now.

[@SamusKerrigan]

No Remember the time? That's beyond epic

[@PHSDM104]

At that point, Black or White, Scream and Earth Song would be thrown in there. All of MJs videos were over the top.

[@aalihte3378]

Yessss!!❤

[@Niesrind]

Missing: Aphex Twin - Windowlicker

[@erik5374]

And come to daddy.

[@CleoS-vx5pd]

Aphex Twin need their own list!

[@momcat2223]

Finding it hard to believe there's no Peter Gabriel entry. Dude did some seriously trippy stuff for the _Us_ album.

[@joermnyc]

I believe most (if not all) of the video for Numb was done without telling Edge what would happen to him (and his reactions to it were genuine).

[@keithpanton7486]

Says a lot that one of my favourite U2 songs isn't all about Bono :)

[@Denwelyn]

Great playlist ! 😄 It took me years to understand that Blue by Eiffel 65 was actually a song about depression.... So the clip is a lot more akward now xD

[@Narconis]

The marionettes in No Diggity were a reference to the Nike “Lil Penny Hardaway” commercials

[@jerryhorn4697]

The video for Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" REALLY freaked me out when I first saw it! The shot of that deranged housewife with Joker-esque smile, waving that cleaver over the live fish on the cutting board is the stuff of nightmares!

[@iviui2d3i2]

I was dosed fairly heavy on LSD when I first saw it and had presumed it was only exaggerations caused by hallucinogenics, until I saw it again a few days after 😁

[@RandallChase1]

29:24 And with the David Hasslehoff video you didn’t even mention the dancing aliens, dachshund and flying angel children… its so amazing!

[@lakwatserongtagapamatnubay4100]

You forgot Garbage

[@lynnevetter]

Their vids were all stunning.

[@strykerman]

David Hasselhoff was not an actor dabbling in singing, he was a singer that dabbled in acting.

[@diannes3804]

Madonna made the best music videos in the 90s, musically and artistically!

[@LadyVoldemort]

No Radiohead or Spice Girls...but okay. 😅 I agree with Aqua and BSB. They're my teenhood indeed.

[@chewey3rd]

Alanis didn't necessarily 'rule' the 90's but she was pretty strong.

[@W81Researcher]

She was definitely the biggest female artist at one point only to be overshadowed by Celine's late 90s resurgence or breakthrough.

[@phantomrequim]

I didn't care about how the music video looked for Blue (Da Ba Dee) as a kid, in fact it made me love the song even more. The ridiculousness of the 90's is more preferable than what we have now.

[@creoloko]

Probably half of these videos are ridiculous, the other half are just awesome and iconic.

[@Your.Uncle.AngMoh]

NOTE: "Cheap 1990s CGI" would have been State of the Art in the 1990s. A tip to me being a child of the 1960s/70s, I will probably listen to only two or three of these songs willingly. LOL>

[@LadyVoldemort]

Soundgarden's Black Hole Sun was nightmarish yet awesome at the same time. The way that one lady smiled while her face getting stretched wider and wider gave me the creeps as a teen... 😅 In the 00s, Robbie Williams gave me similar feelings with his Rock DJ music video. 😂❤ I absolutely love both songs, though. RIP Chris Cornell wherever you are right now. 🪦
