Bad Music Videos: "Don't Believe a Word" - Third Eye Blind

I want to start by saying that I actually don't mind Third Eye Blind's song, "Don't Believe a Word". It's catchy and it has a great beat. But what the hell happened with the music video? Whose bright idea was it to do the entire thing in a stop-motion/frame-by-frame/seizury style? About half-way through the video, you will realize it actually becomes unwatchable. It reminds me a college students experimental film, only with no interesting qualities. One more thing; just because an artist uses a unusual style for their music video doesn't make them instantly cool or amazing or "intelligent". It just gives them 15 minutes of fame so they can cash in on the kids who want what's "current". There, that's my rant to all of you hooligan kids out there who truly believe that musicians adore their fans. Sorry for the cynical attitude, but that's my style (and unfortunately also my mood today). Don't take it personally, Third Eye Blind. Anyways, there will be a new post this Friday, so stay tuned for more cynical madness. Until then, adios readers!

P.S: Take it personally, Third Eye Blind...
