So a few weeks back I posted the first in what is now a series on a look at our culture today and back in the 80's through the lens of the music video.
Why the music video? For one, because the music video was new back in the 80's, so it's interesting to take a look back and see how music videos have changed and how they haven't. And two, I like music videos. I've also been focusing on the New Wave and Indie genres—for now—because many New Wave artists were the first to make really effective music videos, and because Indie artists tend to make, well, let's say interesting music videos. Also they were/are both not quite mainstream but fairly popular.
This episodes choices both have a slight semblance of plot, which allows viewers to attempt to read between the lines and come up with a deeper meaning, even though there probably isn't one. Classic strategy!

6 Month Anniversary of having lots of pool parties
It's winter. And no one wants to get SAD, so I think it's appropriate to reflect on how amazing of a summer I had.
