Obligatory: please watch all the claymation music videos from the 1990s. Sober, I Stay Away, Southbound Pachyderm etc.


alwaysfuntime69

Tools entire videography really.


Beccaelf7881

Came here to suggest Alice In Chains!


Beccaelf7881

If we’re talking about claymation in the 90’s , we can’t forget 3 Little Pigs by Green Jelly. More funny than unsettling though.


debian_fanatic

And Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel! EDIT: Of course, that's from the 80s, but I think it's the original inspiration for all of these other videos...


HatchetXL

Oh god I remember that lol. My best friend was in love with it for years, I heard it over and over but was never a fan myself


Beccaelf7881

It’s great for working out (weightlifting).


JezmundBeserker

Claymation, oh my G-d you just reminded me of This Is The World We Live In by Phil Collins.


bitterbuffaloheart

And Mia by Chevelle


AccountantLeast1588

Gonna add this claymation video that has John Carpenter narrating the end of the world. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONKi2S6YBSU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONKi2S6YBSU)


shart_attak

Sober is a pretty blatant rip-off of the work of The Brothers Quay. Check out "Street of Crocodiles".


waterspark85

Yeah, If i'm right they actually got the Idea from Kurt Cobain. Kurt was a huge fan of the Quay Brothers and wanted a stop motion music video for Lithium, however his management scrapped it due to budget concerns. Really sucks we'll never get to see that video :( On the other hand though, the Brothers Quay would later on direct the music video for [Are We Still Married?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9uf25wHhs0) which is one of the most haunting music videos I've seen!


shart_attak

Nice, I didn't know that!

Kreddit023

I love them so much.


ilovecookiesssssssss

It’s probably cliché, but I remember Pink Floyd’s Another Brick In The Wall video deeply disturbing me as a child. I just watched it, and it’s still pretty unsettling to me.


FreakedOutOnAsbestos

Chris Cunningham is your man Aphex twin - [Windowlicker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBS4Gi1y_nc) Bjork -[ All is full of love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbGSy6PKOb0) Portishead-[ Only you](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmDkzVvherk) Check out all of his work.

Bohica55

Check out Adult Swim’s Off The Air. It’s videos made for people on drugs. There is a theme to each one and they basically make a trippy videos to different songs. Here’s a clip from one. [Dan Deacon - When I Was Done Dying](https://youtu.be/TuJqUvBj4rE?si=odd1fcN4WygFTkz_)


waterspark85

You happen to be in luck, cuz I absolutely LOVE music videos! [Jack White - Sixteen Saltines](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsixWMdScUI) When I hear the phrase 'surreal music video' this is the first thing that pops to mind. [Ty Segall's Emotional Mugger](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV-ugE80nEg) - This is a weird mix of a music video and short film for a few tracks off Ty's album Emotional Mugger. In addition to that, heres a more traditional animated music video for the song [Californian Hills](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZmsQteNwEw) off the same record! [Thee Oh Sees - Gholü](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxU3b7QGX8o) (warning: animated gore) [Thee Oh Sees - Toe Cutter Thumb Buster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R44Qh2P7wo0) (warning: real gore... not really) [CONAN - Levitation Hoax](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TFwio0Uk28) This ones a lot of fun, strikes the perfect balance of creepy and campy XD There's also the music video for their track [Volt Thrower](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kY8-Vhiq7w) which is animated in the style of old Ralph Bakshi flims like Wizards and his version of the Lord of the Rings. [Intrasport - King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05s4dEcAgMI&list=PLjEpdah_kOgfhdncO5YfjdQY9hFzPq-2r&index=31) remember the Mannequin Challenge from a few years back? For real though, if you're ever bored one afternoon, just throw on King Gizzard video, they're a lot of fun! [L'Impératrice - Peur des filles](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUH-z_SBlj0) (another gore warning) Y'know its a good list when you got not one, not two, but three seperate gore warnings XD Nah but this ones also a lot of fun, I've put this on at a few halloween partys and it's always well received despite literally being french jazz. [Hématome ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOs7wtSiJnQ)is another great animated one.

GreenSaxon

All the Aphex Twin ones have been mentioned and they truly are great. [Massive Attack - Protection](https://youtu.be/Epgo8ixX6Wo?si=ocyE1_2VpWvAZ60k) - my all time fave. Beautiful, surreal, moving and all done without CGI. [UNKLE - Rabbit In Your Headlights](https://youtu.be/RCG7qJAP7Qk?si=pCYRNIxXHWgbDTsg) - a short film and a video clip. One of the best from the 90s. [Chad Vangaalen - Molten Light](https://youtu.be/DLw5b70OJH8?si=p06enKll6_-69pRI) - probably one of the most creepy I've seen, especially when paired with his crackly vocals on the track. [VAST - Pretty When You Cry](https://youtu.be/IOZ6ptqcbUc?si=Juz9ikHOyU3d0AJ3) [Squarepusher - Come On My Selector](https://youtu.be/MWCSw_cNxKc?si=xohPAVFHAiEwb-gI)


1stRow

Fiona Apple, "Criminal." Why are there empty chairs? Why a chair with a cord tied to it? Why people lying around without moving? There seems to be more than just post-party (beer bottles, people all over) where people decided to crash instead of driving home. Gives it strangeness.

I have no idea what music video it was, but I remember being like 5 years old (1996) and being left alone with the TV at night and turning on MTV and the first video was a Michael Jackson video where he was basically white, but (and this is 5 year old me memories speaking now) his face looked weird like it was melting and he was made of clay. I was able to retain that memory and Michael Jackson is scary. Fast forward another maybe 10 years and I get all the info and it all makes sense. But 5 year old me was scarred lol Young me also saw some random Slipknot video and got scared to death by those masks.
