i watch the weekly top40 Aussie charts and the UK top20 everyweek but i rarely actually watch the videos, im alwayd doing something else(like being on the internet) at the time theyre on...so the music is first and foremost to me. i only stop to watch the video of a particular track in the charts if i like the song(which is currently few and far between), then its only to see if(like you stated) if my 'imagination' of the song is similar to what they have created.
and i totally agree with your comment that "imagination is in short supply these days"....kids/teens today have no imagination whatsoever, they also have no ability to think as everything is instantaneous in the modern world...this age of computers and technology really has numbed the senses and dumbed down the way people think and live.
i actually keep saying to Dani's daughters that "you kids couldnt have survived when we were young...no computers,no cell phones, no x-box/play-stations only three or four tv stations instead of 100-ish, and you had to make your own entertainment"
really, i only watch TV for the true crime channel and the other doco channels, along with the news channels and the odd bit of sport and music.
back tot he top of your comments...NO, people dont listen to the music, they ARE entertained by visual media!
hopefully you get more replies to this thread Jerome as im curious to know that others think about this subject...
