stop putting SFX in music videos you fucks

so many fucking artists do this shit nowadays like i’m really watching a music video to hear people talking over the band, or plates and silverware clinking during a song’s chorus. it’s a fucking MUSIC VIDEO, not a VIDEO WITH MUSIC. if you’re working specifically in music videos but want to direct meaningful cinema, you aimed for the moon and kinda bonked your head on a passing airliner before falling back down into the middle of the pacific. if you’re a music video director and have a band reach out to you for their next single, this is not the time to call your good friend who’s like, a master at foley. i don’t care how far back you guys go. this is not a project he should even be allowed in yelling distance of.

if the band wanted people laughing and tires screeching over the song they probably spent months if not years writing, practicing,  and recording, they would have PUT IT IN THE FUCKING SONG ALREADY. oh my god and you people who stop the music mid-song to put some thematic element into your video? oh my fucking god, i’ll fucking end you. i will fucking end your career.
