Mercury, by Bloc Party

Probably Queen of the Ryche

No contest:

I LOVE this one.

That’s a good one.

“On Your Mark”, aka The Time Studio Ghibli Did A Music Video www.dailymotion.com/video/x2y2269

what ever geddy lee is doing in this video www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jPo...

gotta be Dirty Computer

Perhaps more post-apocalyptic than sci-fi, but the music video of How Long by How To Destroy Angels is really good. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sUT...

I mean… m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbnb...

Can I just say the full works of Paul Shapera? mochalab.bandcamp.com

First thought, best thought

The second I saw Gaga kill a guy with pyrokinesis, I knew I’d love her forever.

youtu.be/Zg8-AbXqv4M

youtu.be/NjGQHsnuG8o?... I think this could count as this is about humanity getting rid of death and aging and such. Something we haven't done yet and is by definition, sci-fi

I don't even vibe with Tom Petty, but we used to wait hopefully for this video to cycle up on MTV back in the day: youtu.be/mtLpZWNyM0I?...

My actual personal favorite sci-fi story that only exists in music video form has to be "The Wild Boys" by Duran Duran, directed by Russell Mulcahy as a hopeful treatment reel for a full movie based on the Burroughs novel he wanted to make. youtu.be/M43wsiNBwmo?...

Because starting at about the 58 second mark they run through Piss Alley. youtu.be/djjw3BKUV28?...

janet jackson doesn't really matter

This is such a sad sweet story LCD Soundsystem - oh baby youtu.be/5gIhrPGyu6U?...

So many to choose from, but haven't seen this one listed yet ... youtu.be/Uu_kBTbbulQ?...

I Believe In A Thing Called Love

youtu.be/sA8gyyEYpsU?... One I haven't seen posted yet, that I'll always share

DANGER DAYS

so good that youtube pulled it

Rocket youtu.be/Th-AqMvvBzE?...

I was going to say that one also exists in the movie Le Voyage dans la Lune. But I realized I was thinking of Tonight, Tonight

Probably the M84 psychic kid quadrilogy, as I'm a basic bitch. Need to think about it tho youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I know it's m83 i have clumsy digits :p

Gotta go with “Cloudbusting” 🌦️

You posted the Google link. I'm aware some devices make getting the real URI tricky here's Cloudbusting by Kate Bush with an obsequious cameo by Donald Sutherland www.youtube.com/watch?v=pllR...

Gosh, I never knew there was a longer version, thanks for that ! (Still no idea, obviously ... 🤣)

That was based off real-life events though (apart from the cloudbusting machine actually working)

Not necessarily my favorite but I like the simple concept here

song or video form, but Wolf Parade's "Yulia"

That’s such a great question… Bella Poarch’s “Build a Bitch” is kind of fabulous, but I’m also having a hard time remembering more rn lol

i'm going to need to think about it more, but off the top of my head intergalactic by beastie boys is a good one

I’m obsessed with “Arisen My Senses”

I have been off Muse for years now but this video still rules youtu.be/Q3Yc3HhSl1Q?...

Without overthinking it: Take On Me by a-ha. But since that's a hugely popular and well-known video, here is 10 Years by Daði & Gagnamagnið. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zTb...

The luda video where he wears a guy as a chain.

📌

whatever tf is happening here www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_s4...

Oh no.

Billy Ocean - "Loverboy", of course!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKDP...

Oh, did i miss a bit where you were posting fan clip videos on purpose? *🤯

I basically just searched for videos that coupled the original studio version of the song with a good visual narrative, without regard to "official" status.

Gotcha!! (also it's not like i don't think all music video la need official status in any way, those just were more mood/clip videos and I was stuck because the prompt had me thinking in terms of narrative video as the sole or main repository of an sf story, not one primarily in the song itself)

*not like i do think

One of your ancestors was responsible for the Wicked Bible

LOL. I didn't even mean it as a bit -- I just thought hey, it's a song video.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Auss...

If you haven't seen them, here's the EP that was cut from... youtu.be/KwzbvWYdNGA?...

And the official video for two suns youtu.be/P_m2CZU9vdk?...

I wondered, since I'd seen two FC videos with McAvoy in them.

Is this too smart-assed an answer?

I don't think so personally. I remember trying really hard to find episodes to watch more, because little me couldn't believe this wasn't a real anime.

Did you ever find the full 70-minute film?

I didn't, Funnily enough. I guess my research skills have improved since then.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=i17m...

I remember seeing this for the first time and being like, "Is this a movie tie-in?" But no, it's just Like That

The best part is it does include clips from the movie On Dangerous Ground aka Choke Canyon, but ignores them for its own narrative

Everything to do with Janelle Monae’s ArchAndroid cycle. So freaking cool.

Yes!

I mean… this Deerhoof video came to mind immediately. Still a fantastic song, somehow even more apt than 10 years ago? youtu.be/HRGEHF_vLHw?...

youtu.be/eQFIKP9rGhQ?...

Oh, and this one is just so cute and it blows my mind that the backgrounds are all just a big LCD screen.

I love this one. Great animation.

Arena, the feature-length movie that takes place around Duran Duran's tour of the same name and featuring their namesake from Barbarella youtu.be/MFjnD6oLz4Y?...

this one counts? music.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pcj...

(Technically this does also exist in comic form but I think the video is different enough in story that it counts)

youtu.be/eF6tzsnZHZo?... This is kinda sci-fi adjacent, but it really rekindled my love for cosmic horror and sci-fi with horror flavoring.
