The Best, Most Ground-Breaking Music Videos of 2023
This year has been great for music videos with new ideas. 2022, with its constant political and cultural unrest, unruly pandemics, unprovoked violence, and overstepping of authority, has produced some of the best art and music videos, including some of the best, most groundbreaking music videos. I like it when artists have a clear idea of what they want to do. This can be a simple, universal message of love for oneself and others, or it can be a scathing rejection of society's heavy expectations through noisy or experimental sounds and images. There is a place for everything. I'd like to take you on a trip through some of the most interesting music videos I've seen so far in 2022, or maybe ever.

March Madness 1.
This is one of the best music videos I've seen in the last 10 years. It's also one of the most mind-blowing things I've ever seen set to music. Chris Ianuzzi, an experimental electronic music composer from New York, has made a masterpiece with his new album "Maze" and a new music video for "March of Madness" that was made using only AI. The song's sound is a mix of IDM/Experimental Electronic, Industrial, Post-Punk, and something from another planet. The video was made by Ethem Serkan Sokmen and lke Kose using a CLIP-Guided-Diffusion notebook called Disco Diffusion and other AI tools and techniques. As we go deeper into Ianuzzi's creative mind, reality bends and changes all the time. As if that wasn't enough, the song "March of Madness" will also be released in Dolby Atmos Spatial Audio at the same time as the album..

2. Cosmopolis
The new single "Nixon-Manson" by Cosmopolis is a hit, and it comes with a fiery music video that matches the music's unwavering sense of danger. The vocals remind me of the genius of Mark Lanegan or Swans singer Michael Gira, and the music is a mix of heavy post-punk and Pink Floyd's expansive sound. In other words, this is a very important band. The Artist Says:
Cosmopolis's new single is called "Nixon-Manson." It's probably the closest we'll ever get to writing a musical, even if it's the darkest and scariest musical you'll ever hear. We are very interested in the late 1960s, and we wanted to use words and music to show how that time was dominated by political corruption, the death of idealism, the fall of empires, and some moments of pure evil that changed popular culture for good.
3. Pink Floyd
David Gilmour recently announced that Pink Floyd will get back together without warning as a response to Russia's war on Ukraine. All of the money made from the show will go to humanitarian causes to help the Ukrainian people. The song "Hey Hey Rise Up" is beautiful, and Andriy Khlyvnuk of Boombox's passionate singing makes it even better. If this group effort doesn't move you, it might be too late to help you.
4. Meshuggah
Meshuggah, who are masters of djent metal, just put out a hugely popular new album called "Immutable," which is easily one of their best albums. It might be my favorite thing. Several music videos have been released. The music video for the lead single "Broken Cog" pretty much acts out the cover of the album in a majestic way. This band has earned every bit of success they have had.
5. Gucci Mane
Gucci Mane doesn't miss very often, and he's been on a roll lately. In "Blood All On It," one of his most recent singles, he pays tribute to Young Dolph by bringing him and his labelmate Key Glock on board. The result is one of the best music videos you are likely to see all year. I hear this song every day.
