I think I'm being very accurate about myself when I say: I don't watch music videos. The reason is first of all, I have a limited category of musics I like which is something that have deep context. Musics which have are almost as deep as poems. In a poem, lines are very small and highly meaningful which make them interesting. In a musics, lyrics usually repeat themselves and they don't go into depth. So, words repeat themselves not only in that particular song, but in lots of other songs.
Knowing this, I rarely listen to musics which are repetitive, how can I be watching them?! I can visualize what the singer says in his music. The video clip repeats what he is already singing it by showing them to me, which is very boring to me. I'll be interested if there are video clips which can offer something more than what is already said in the song. Otherwise I just don't watch video clips.
Video clips are highly influential on their audience. In general, people are not interested to change because if they look different in society among others, they will be pointed at and they will go under the spot light. However, changes will occur if it was started. Someone has to just start a change and others will be influenced by them. This is the part where mass media becomes effective. One of the requirements for a successful topic is that it has to be new. Thus, mass media is always looking for new issues to offer. Video clips are the starting point of something new in the society. When they show them, people get influenced by video clips and start following what video clips have started.
Unfortunately, we have a lack of judgment with the new things offered to us. We think it's fine to be adapted to anything new since someone is already doing it.
