Folks, let's face it: The Times They Are A Changin'. While music videos have been a kind of mass medium, a promo projector for singles in the 80ies and 90ies, now things are different.
At least here in Europe, the once powerful muisc video TV broadcast stations have either been shut down or transformed into crap advertisieng or teenage dating, JackAss showing television for people, who obviously have too much time and less brain. In one sentence: It's not about music, or art itself anymore – it's the lightest, most stupid kind of entertainment now.
With record companies today having no idea how to face the technological shift of the new media behaviour of their clients, music videos are only a mere relict by people, who can afford to produce them.
A dying dinosaur, if you want to: For the free youtube watchers & internet pirates illegally up- and downloading official releases, nobody responsible in a company or band will invest in an expensive video anymore. Think about this, when you search for arguments to slag off the U2 manager for his recent comments. I'm with him, he has my support. Is that all? Yes
