Classic Indie Videos

The earliest indie videos were decidedly DIY, lo-fi affairs, ranging from practice-space documents (Joy Division's “Love Will Tear Us Apart”) to collages of random VHS footage (Sonic Youth's “Teen Age Riot”). But after the Nirvana-led underground uprising of the '90s, videos turned bold and conceptual, making stars out of absurdist auteurs like Spike Jonze (who directed The Breeders' colorfully chaotic "Cannonball").
