What Makes A Great Music Video?

In our latest podcast episode, Carla and I sat down to answer a seemingly impossible question: What actually makes a music video good? We developed a framework to judge visual art, prioritizing practical dedication and human labor over massive budgets. We break down the "Blind Test" (associating the track permanently with the visuals), the "Silhouette Test" (identifying the artist entirely by their outline, like Devo's energy domes), and the immense power of subverting genre expectations completely. Which music video do you think easily passes the Silhouette Test?
