''Video Killed The Radio Star''

''A deconstruction of music videos that makes visible their aesthetic rules or grammar is necessary before an overall theoretical understanding is possible. Content-analytic studies usually divide music videos into two groups: "performance" and "concept" videos. Concept videos, in turn, can be subdivided into two different kinds: narrative dramatic videos and lyrical videos. Narrative videos tell a story, albeit with emotional overlay and expressive flair, while lyrical videos may be likened to imagist poetry in contrast to dramatic monologues.''
