Music Video

A video which is meant to be released with a single from a CD, in which the artist appears and sings/plays the song while other events occur. Music videos are notorious for containing incredibly large amounts of product placement, such as phones, drinks, perfumes, or websites (Plentyoffish is among the most infamous).
The music video for Lady Gaga's Telephone, Ke$ha's We R Who We R, and Britney Spears's Hold it Against Me all contain advertisements for plentyoffish.com

Me: jesus shit! none of these songs are good. they're all produced by record companies who focus on making the music videos flashy over the audio content.

Guy: that's not true! ...yes it is...

Music Video

The quickest and easiest way to get people to buy your CD by manipulating them with half naked women.
If you make it intriguing enough it will somehow create the illusion that your song is good.
OMG! That music video was so awesome! I loved it! That must mean the song is desirable as well!

Music video

A video that accompanies a music track. Something created to add a more visual aspect to music, and popularized by MTV in the 80s. Some are used to add more meaning to the song and to convey the message better(best type), others are just videos of the artists playing the music(casual and the most popular), and some are random and meaningless things/just straight up weird, sometimes enough weird that it ruins the song in rare cases(Miike Snow). But for the most part, music videos are pretty cool and I'm glad they exist.
Music videos either enhance or diminish the experience of the listener

music video sex

When two people are 'involved' with each other publicly, but you never see anything explicit.

The term comes from most music videos that have romantic scenes. Many body parts are shown very briefly, yet nothing is revealed fully.
Jill: Hey, did you see Kim and Joe getting 'friendly' last night?

John: Yeah, but nothing actually happened. It was just music video sex.
