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

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.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
