In 1992 the black metal band Immortal made what is considered to be one of the worst music videos of all time: Call of the Wintermoon
Immortal is actually a really great band if you like black metal, but the video is painful to watch lol

Nah totally hilarious and endearing!π€£
Lol wtf
Some of their other early videos from the 90s are pretty cringe too, but this one by far is the worst lol
I was just getting into black metal in the late 90s so I guess I completely missed this video. Lol
That's about when I got into it too! I got a lot of the early 90s stuff when I started working at a record store in 99 and I found that the late 80s/early 90s black metal scene was a very strange place lol
A classic!
Idk what you're talking about this video is kvlt as fvck.
Got some Return to Oz mixed with a highschool AV club movie vibes
Isn't it just voluntarily cringe to be fun? Looks like it to me tbh
I read some interviews about it, it was supposed to be a serious video. The band members said the production company only gave them 2 hours on the day of shooting and then kind of made fun of them later. They were pretty pissed at the time. If you look into the history of black metal in the early 90s they really all took it way too seriously lol

Aaron Carterβs βHow I beat Shaqβ is pretty hilarious. They actually got Shaq in it, but itβs clear that Aaron Carter had no idea how to play basketball. And they have to make it look like heβs better than Shaq? Yeah right
Oh wow... I got through about a minute and a half and had to turn it off... the video is pretty bad but the song itself is the cringiest part lol

I finally got that line in Ultimate Showdown.
"Rock Me Tonight" by Billy Squire. It may be before many people's time so here is a link to the Cracked article about how that one music video ruined Billy Squire's entire career.
It's so squirmy cringe, I watch it every once in a while just to remind myself I'm not THAT bad a screw up. Oof.
That was rough... I feel like it would be on par with a lot of other bad 80s videos if it weren't for the so called "dancing". That really put it over the top lol
The other video I posted made me remember what may be the actual worst video of all time. Really all of his videos are so bad they almost seem like a parody, but he was super serious about all of it lol
Watch FADADES at your own discretion
I am now in pain. why am I now in pain?! I don't understand. it hurts.
Too much psychomathematical metal will do that! That's what he actually calls this music lol
Cowards
He used to have an active comments section but he turned it off because most of the comments were from people saying he makes the videos in his mom's basement.
How about this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sN7kgEw954
Thatβs hilarious, omg
She's really talented, what a beautiful voice!
I'm impressed. It's like acid slowly and painfully dissolving my entire nervous system.
Ok this one must be some kind of parody video

The βBig Enoughβ song byβ¦someone. Like I watched it and canβt tell if it was a parody or what? It and the song were so bad, to me at least.
Other users may know this from youtube as the gay screaming cowboy video
Skip to 2:17 for the part you all remember
Whoβs that dog-whistle tooting racist rapper again? Yeahβ¦ that guy.

for me its about the contrast between an amazing song and an absurdly terrible video that in no way captures the tone or feel or quality or intent or expression of the song. for my money its depeche mode's leave in silence.
whatever J-Lo has been working on
