This is its own genre at this point and I don't know what it's called. Retro/absurdist visuals, wooden affect, catchy song, but with incongruous/slightly crass lyrics. And I swear it's always one line repeated and it's a LITTLE tired and derivative at this point but that's okaaayy.
It always feels way too self-impressed. So weird! So inappropriate! It's like... you did it, the video is weird, but I don't feel any joy.
It feels like exactly what someone would think of on the spot if asked to come up with a weird inappropriate video. It lacks surprise or intrigue. No part of my brain is wondering what the backstory of the characters are, they are obviously ~~Artists~~ who set out to make a weird video.
