Question Why are videos for EDM so universally crap?

I understand that for the most part budget constraints prevent doing something to all out but there are plenty of budget film-makers out there and it costs the same to make something crap as something half decent.

I mean how drugged up was the guy who storyboarded this video for Rob Searle's remix of 'The Power Of Love'


If anyone can think of a decent video then post it. The only one I can think of is Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar.

Most of the Chemical Brothers' videos are good. Daft Punk too. But they also benefit from being mainstream and getting better directors for their videos.

I could tell it was Dirty Vegas - 'Days Gone By' just by the Youtube freeze clip thingy.

Good tune too!

Why waste time on a video that's never going to get aired anyway.

This is gonna be a big hit on mtv any day now, I assure you.


This must've taken a lot of time, I'm suprised shiva chandra actually bothered, well I appreciate his effort anyway.

Speaking somewhat of which, I'm suprised I can't find any infected mushroom music videos on youtube.

Aphex Twin's Come To Daddy's infamous in its awesomeness:



Although this one's goofily weird too:



Venetian Snares can bring the awesome too:



I've always liked this one:



So bad, it's BRILLIANT!!

Practically all the big name electronic artists have good videos: The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Daft Punk, Aphex Twin and so on. One of my favourites, which isn't often mentioned:

Lower budget and much older, my favourite video of all time:
