Sorry, but I hate the video for "Black Hole Sun".


The song itself is epic. But the video is just grotesque. Ugly people, distorted faces. The video should have been cosmic, not so mundane and creepy.

Yeah, creepy is the word - even cringe.

They had a strange sense of humor. It reminds me of those weird Stephen King adaptations “Thinner”. Not my cup of tea either.

Okay, it's about a hell on earth.

The verses depict a world marred by scorching heat and a pervasive summer stench, conjuring feelings of discomfort and unrest. The recurring phrase “black hole sun” in the chorus assumes a symbolic resonance within the song, serving as a metaphorical anchor for listeners to explore their interpretations.

I hated it because it was on 24 7. And it was creepy.
Same as Nirvana videos.
