A lot of people now listen to dance music at least as much outside clubs as they do inside them...

Among other non EDM videos the older videos like 2Unlimited, Capella, Culture Beat, Snap were not considered as crap back then. At least not by me.

Compare it to looking at an old picture or driving in a 20 year old car.

I can remember videos from e.g. Chicane and BBE which in my view were not bad at all.

But of course there also are tons videos which really are crap. The more commercial the track, the crappier the videos I guess.

Don't know about current videos. I don't watch them anymore.
