Agreed. Trent Reznor's version has an intensity to it, but Cash's feels so much more introspective. You can just feel the sadness radiating through his voice.
I was only 6 when this song came out so I don’t know if Fiona was ahead of her time or if this aesthetic is coming back or maybe it’s just timeless. But you could tell me this MV was released this year I’d believe it. The clothes, the cinematography, that chunky heel on the ground at the beginning it feels very modern. Love this video and all of Mark Romaneks work.
Rock the Boat by Aayliah. I had a special interest in her when I was a lil girl and that music video intensified it. The subtle sexiness of the dancing, the wardrobe. Her bright red eye makeup in the ocean. And this hip rolling. My god.
I’m still to this day so sad she died. She’d be killing it still if she were alive. A true talented beauty gone too soon. R.I.P angel.
Edited to add: it’s daunting to know she died right after this music video was filmed. She does have a serene presence to her in this video that makes me emotional when I watch it.
Hahaha this is so random but for me it’s also a Britney performance, except it’s Britney from Glee (Heather Morris) covering (I think I’m a Slave 4 U, definitely a Britney song because it was a whole thing they liked to do…) on the Glee 3D Tour…I just remember watching the movie, seeing Heather’s titties go pop pop in this green leotard, and I have been a right down the middle bisexual ever since. 😂😛
YES. I love Chris Isaak’s voice so so much.
This song still makes me blush and I’m way too old for that lol. His song and video for Baby did a bad bad thing is also good.
I just showed this video to my 30 year old daughter a few weeks ago. I'm like, "Isn't he hot?!? " She just shook her head and said, "My god, they showed that on tv?" Hell yeah. MTV for the win, when it was actually Music Television.
This video along with the song, has made me feel some kind of way for decades. Woof! Now I can watch it anytime I want to.
I can’t believe she’s literally playing Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard right now. I assure you I’m not joking.

I now know how problematic that whole video trilogy was …. But I remember being enamored with Liv tyler and alicia Silverstone in the Crazy video
I had a full on Tatu era for like, 2 years lol thanks to them (and their message board) I met a girl who’d go on to be my girlfriend for a whopping 10 years. We didn’t work out but still talk from time to time. Thanks, Tatu 🫡
I think one of them is bi!!! but yes being queer & dfab in the early 2000s was literally just listening to them on repeat... and obv kissin yr gf in secret hahaha. I used to use garageband to record their songs on youtube lmao
Maybe but I was SO SAD when I found out they were like a put together fan service type thing, I wanted it to be real so bad 🥲
Also GARAGEBAND that is a blast from the past ❤️❤️❤️
Not me that started memorising the lyrics in russian even though I don't even speak russian hahahaahha oh my good old times in the early noughties and the online forums ahhaab
I was a 17yo bisexual girl in a LDR with my first girlfriend when this came out and I latched onto it so hard (especially because I love redheads) and when Ashnikko and Princess Nokia released "Slumber Party" a few years ago I was like ohhh THIS is the lesbian anthem I deserved, but 20 years later.
Shania Twain’s “*Man, I feel like a woman*” had those gorgeous dudes in those sheer shirts dancing behind Shania. I was only 8 but that was when I knew I liked boys more than girls.

Ha, I’d never seen this before. Amazing.
At the time, this music video was the most expensive ever made, and Janet + Michael doing a song together blew my mind.
Yes. I am old.
I remember being legit upset thinking this video would go away never to be able to be seen again once it was gone from MTV. Little did I know what the YouTube future held.
That video and song is an insta warp back to memories I would like to have lol ..I was kinda close, but this song brings up a nostalgia about something I used to feel when I was a teenager ❤️ thank you?
Eminem and Rihannas Love the Way you lie featured Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan at a time all of them were an obsession of mine!!
Omgosh,I feel understood!There are a couple of songs that give off similar vibes,the type you listen to one random day that leave you in a trance like state,not understanding what you are feeling and why.
I think in a lot of ways (and this is going to sound so dramatic lolol) but Spice Girls were such a formative band for me (and so many people!!!) that when Geri left, I was 12, and it truly felt like the end of childhood. And this song always felt like a prequel to Goodbye to me? Similar vibes. I think of the two of them in the same thought. And I think the really low pitch ‘viva forever….I’ll be waiting…everlasting…like the sun’ at the end of this song is so haunting and just feels so different from their earlier stuff that my little 12 year old brain didn’t know how to name what I was feeling - melancholy, sadness, the feeling of loss, uneasiness, uncertainty.
https://preview.redd.it/2btkogr2xx7c1.jpeg?width=634&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b78442695440f08b3529f9eed05f74dc88670e73
Literally how I discovered who Alexander Skarsgard is, and that he’s hot
in that era, two of them had too much of an impact on very young me:
[Silverchair - Anthem for the year 2 000](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShiShrR_nh8)
I was just too young and easily impressionable, the protestors seemed to be in so much pain it really scarred me. And this used to play 500 times a day on TV so yeah.
[TLC - Unpretty](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwvaMFdK5U8)
Back then I really liked the song (and still do) but I barely spoke English so didn't really understand the words, but the video is just so impactful. Videos weren't that "jarring" back then so it was so shocking to hear a mainstream pop-friendly group show something so graphic (the breast implant going out of the breast) it really hit me.
I worked at a bar that had a video jukebox and the owner was a racist ass prude who removed all the hip hop videos. Every time he came in I would add this to the queue from my phone just to watch him get mad 😂 (fuck you, Gary)
Baby boy and Naughty Girl (probably considered tame nowadays), I just remember growing up watching Beyoncé in DC4 and this was a more grown up vibe.
When Beyoncé rolled up in the Pussy Wagon I died and ascended right then and there
EDIT: My skin is tingling thinking about when I had Telephone, BR, Poker Face, and Paparazzi music videos on a HEAVY rotation. Such an iconic era
This is the video with her in the flight attendant costume right? Cause if so, same. When that video came up on MTV it gave me feelings like "I shouldn't be allowed to watch this" lmao
I was about 12 when Mariah Carey released "Honey" and the video utterly transfixed me. I think Jennifer Beals in Flashdance was probably my earliest bisexual awakening but I was too young to get it. I was still 3 years away from coming out to myself with "Honey" but i watched that video with RAPT attention every time it came on. MC is ridiculously hot. I think she's still hot to this day but "Honey" is something else.
Bad Romance is mad genius personified, a visual orgy of insanity, was utterly mind blowing start to finish, broke the fucking mold previously cracked only by Thriller, and IMO is the greatest music video of all time.
[dip it low](https://youtu.be/5z5Mvyp1QHw?si=m1lighkhXUEMyRrd) when she’s rolling around in the oil. Oh my god. I still think about it out of nowhere and wonder if that was the thing that was my biwakening
https://preview.redd.it/eg33idyjxw7c1.jpeg?width=240&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=02153f5ad2bc5fb8ccb2bf7f8ee6c39d12cacdfe
Almost like with porn for me, there’s a fine line between attraction and the desire to BE them. She was so sexy but I realized I just wished I WAS her ~sigh~
I totally get it. I had that with Drew Barrymore as a blonde in Charlie’s Angels, I started rocking these sunglasses and the platinum blonde and realized ok I actually just wanna be her lol
https://preview.redd.it/dav4vwmomx7c1.jpeg?width=445&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c59ac7caeb5ba86620ebe25c6d656b06a4464b35
This song is great but the video is everything. From the bigger concepts to the small details. There’s something about when he’s briefly just standing there sorta popping his elbows and his chest that makes me say “this guy is a fucking genius” every time.
Cold Hearted by Paula Abdul was an awakening for me. I was pretty young when it came out and it made me feel THINGS.
https://preview.redd.it/o0vrqqtpvw7c1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d22a5a6a51970256808375f49909d01fc2d5d80
I know it’s not a “music video” in the traditional sense, but the music from this movie is awesome. The first time Ewan McGregor opened his mouth to sing The Hills Are Alive in the beginning of the movie… my 17 year old heart couldn’t take it.
Gay dude here. I used to be obsessed with the choreography to Dirrty as a kid. Same with Slave 4 U. No idea why my parents were shocked when I came out lol.
I remember when I saw Dirrty at age 13 that I found the idea of jeans and visible underwear hilarious and started sketching outfits that for example were made of fur and meant to be worn during winter but still left underwear visible. Fast forward to present, and all drag queens are doing outfits like that in RuPauls drag race, my fashion vision was really ahead of the the times.
I am a bi girl on the ace spectrum but Janelle is so hot that she blasts directly through my reticence. The image of her coming out of the pool in a wet PLEASURE T-shirt destroyed me. I think it's the hottest thing I've ever seen. Idk what it is about her facial expressions in particular but she's so seductive and I'm so happy she's queer. 🌈 but also she is like... Just so sexy. There are very few people who make me feel that way and I guess she's one of them, along with Cillian Murphy.
I was in 2nd grade when this came out. I remember getting super close to the TV screen and looking down, because I thought I'd be able to see down her shirt lol
honestly, i will never, ever forget being in like... 4th grade maybe? and staying up late/waking up to MTV and seeing the video for "closer" by NIN and just being so enraptured and confused by the feelings it gave me lmao. VERY core sexuality memory involving kink, feminine men, and naked women.
other queer awakenings def included Dirrty, Toxic, Lady Marmalade lmao. not a ton of male-led awakenings through music videos til i got a little older and AFI released Girl's Not Grey and eventually Love Like Winter and Miss Murder. unlikely awakening, but also some of those early Rammstein videos had me SWEATING and i don't even find muscular men attractive lmfao
Way newer than many of these, but “[Make Me Feel](https://youtu.be/tGRzz0oqgUE?si=5ROQ06susEoS_NAO)” by Janelle Monáe is just about the sexiest non-porn clip imaginable.
https://preview.redd.it/ppn08wf6qx7c1.png?width=338&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e27e163762c7f9f44fa4903e76a139bc23307604
Saw this music video exactly one time at sleepover at a friend's house when I was like 11. I was hypnotized and didn't really understand why until other girls started calling me a dyke. I guess I was watching a little too intently. Oops indeed.
Express Yourself by Madonna. Directed by the great David Fincher himself. Hot, wet dudes plus a glimpse of Madonna sideboob?! It certainly left an impression.
Honestly it was most of 00s pop/rap/hip hop/currently renowned as classics videos. I call it the foreshadowing. My eyes were glued to everyone and everything, I feel that accurately describes me now lmfaooooo. But that second slide of Xtina in Dirrty.... Yes. That's it.
I got into linkin park through some dbz anime music video that came with my computer in 2001/2 and I think about that a lot.
All of my baby bi videos have been listed

 Until today I am wondering if Kylie wears anything underneath lol. Such a sexy yet classy video ❤️
The power of wardrobe tape I guess 😂 I was obsessed with this song and everything about this video.
Literally the video that got me obsessed with Kylie. My parents thought it was for the music 👀
https://i.redd.it/1l80354lrw7c1.gif This one did.
I'm laughing so hard at the juxtaposition of this one with the rest of the thread
You know, every occasion needs that one gloomy old Dude to throw in some melancholy.
There is something so haunting about Johnny Cash's version of Hurt.
I've been a fan for decades. But that song destroyed me.
Agreed. Trent Reznor's version has an intensity to it, but Cash's feels so much more introspective. You can just feel the sadness radiating through his voice.
Reznor stated that after Cash did the song it wasn't his anymore. I agree.
This song was my #1 played song on Spotify wrapped last year. I listened to it 216 times.
Are you okay over there?
This version always makes me cry
Lord this left a lump in my throat. Still does. The video the song everything. Similar to committed to park view by porter waggoner.
 yep.
I discovered this song and MV a YEAR AGO I feel like I’ve lived so much life between then and now Fiona Apple is absolutely timeless
Fiona Apple - Criminal
I was only 6 when this song came out so I don’t know if Fiona was ahead of her time or if this aesthetic is coming back or maybe it’s just timeless. But you could tell me this MV was released this year I’d believe it. The clothes, the cinematography, that chunky heel on the ground at the beginning it feels very modern. Love this video and all of Mark Romaneks work.
This song/video made me realize I could like boys AND girls 🥵
Yessss. I was just hitting puberty when this came out and man did it give me the tingles.
 Rock the Boat by Aayliah. I had a special interest in her when I was a lil girl and that music video intensified it. The subtle sexiness of the dancing, the wardrobe. Her bright red eye makeup in the ocean. And this hip rolling. My god. I’m still to this day so sad she died. She’d be killing it still if she were alive. A true talented beauty gone too soon. R.I.P angel. Edited to add: it’s daunting to know she died right after this music video was filmed. She does have a serene presence to her in this video that makes me emotional when I watch it.
I feel the exact same way. Miss her so much.
 i’m a slave 4 u 🥵 plus the vma performance holy hell
It was the Dont Let Me Be the Last to Know video for me 🥵
Okay this one!!! People don’t talk about this video but goodness 
Yup this one’s it. I’m pretty sure I’m straight but this video made me question it. 
Hahaha this is so random but for me it’s also a Britney performance, except it’s Britney from Glee (Heather Morris) covering (I think I’m a Slave 4 U, definitely a Britney song because it was a whole thing they liked to do…) on the Glee 3D Tour…I just remember watching the movie, seeing Heather’s titties go pop pop in this green leotard, and I have been a right down the middle bisexual ever since. 😂😛
I don’t even want to speculate how many times I’ve watched this music video
 Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
YES!!! My mom wouldn’t let me watch this when it came on VH1 😂
YES. I love Chris Isaak’s voice so so much. This song still makes me blush and I’m way too old for that lol. His song and video for Baby did a bad bad thing is also good.
I just showed this video to my 30 year old daughter a few weeks ago. I'm like, "Isn't he hot?!? " She just shook her head and said, "My god, they showed that on tv?" Hell yeah. MTV for the win, when it was actually Music Television. This video along with the song, has made me feel some kind of way for decades. Woof! Now I can watch it anytime I want to.
This is honestly art. I love how it's shot.
 i thought many thoughts
For me, it's React 🥵 
This gif alone makes me want to watch the video
Primarily: how do I learn to do that and how do I look like that?
I can’t believe she’s literally playing Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard right now. I assure you I’m not joking. [https://playbill.com/article/watch-highlights-from-londons-sunset-boulevard-starring-nicole-scherzinger-in-new-trailer](https://playbill.com/article/watch-highlights-from-londons-sunset-boulevard-starring-nicole-scherzinger-in-new-trailer) 
She's actually a very talented singer. I really enjoyed her performance of Don't Cry For Me Argentina
This video is pure sex.
This is what I wanted to be when I grew up
classic!
 I now know how problematic that whole video trilogy was …. But I remember being enamored with Liv tyler and alicia Silverstone in the Crazy video
Yes! This part destroyed me. https://preview.redd.it/6pm08a0dqx7c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cc3297ef5fcf864bab6f6b42f4cbff4a603832ce
All 3 Aerosmith's videos she was in made me feel some type of way lol
That backwards on the motor cycle bit …..ooooof
My 10 year old self was confused. https://i.redd.it/zck8pn13jw7c1.gif
I had a full on Tatu era for like, 2 years lol thanks to them (and their message board) I met a girl who’d go on to be my girlfriend for a whopping 10 years. We didn’t work out but still talk from time to time. Thanks, Tatu 🫡
Omg this had like 10 year old me spinning the fuck out. I was almost scared of this video coz I didn’t understand what I was feeling. Now I get why 😂😂
Still listen to their music and fuck girls, turns out they weren't actually lesbians but I give thanks regardless 😂🙏
I think one of them is bi!!! but yes being queer & dfab in the early 2000s was literally just listening to them on repeat... and obv kissin yr gf in secret hahaha. I used to use garageband to record their songs on youtube lmao
Maybe but I was SO SAD when I found out they were like a put together fan service type thing, I wanted it to be real so bad 🥲 Also GARAGEBAND that is a blast from the past ❤️❤️❤️
I still love to listen to that song on repeat after taking edibles.
Not me that started memorising the lyrics in russian even though I don't even speak russian hahahaahha oh my good old times in the early noughties and the online forums ahhaab
I was a 17yo bisexual girl in a LDR with my first girlfriend when this came out and I latched onto it so hard (especially because I love redheads) and when Ashnikko and Princess Nokia released "Slumber Party" a few years ago I was like ohhh THIS is the lesbian anthem I deserved, but 20 years later.
Omg. Real talk, I dressed like them for my 6th grade yearbook photo. Baby bi before I even knew!
Shania Twain’s “*Man, I feel like a woman*” had those gorgeous dudes in those sheer shirts dancing behind Shania. I was only 8 but that was when I knew I liked boys more than girls.

 The mud scene in this video, like how you gonna make mud look so sxc shakira shakira
Have you seen the video for La Tortura? Shakira covers herself in oil…or thin mud? Hard to tell.
[удалено]
Man, I was OBSESSED with this music video growing up
What’s the one where she and Beyoncé hump some walls in the rain? That was one to sit in silence and ponder afterward.
Beautiful liar 🔥
 for me it was this scene from hips don’t lie
Or when she’s in the wolf cage??
 At the time, this music video was the most expensive ever made, and Janet + Michael doing a song together blew my mind. Yes. I am old.
The part where Janet grabs her boobs and looks all intense was an iconic moment
I remember being legit upset thinking this video would go away never to be able to be seen again once it was gone from MTV. Little did I know what the YouTube future held.
https://i.redd.it/nahzmgpdxw7c1.gif Cassie me and U
Her song Me and You has gotta be my favorite pop song from the 00s.
She had some bops!
Did you ever see the “unreleased” version of the video for this song. It’s from the POV of a guy out on a date with Cassie. The end is pretty steamy 😇
https://i.redd.it/2bh32ixvfx7c1.gif Unbreak my heart Toni Braxton Her and Tyson Beckford are GORGEOUS and the CHEMISTRY. Good lord.
 It was Always Be My Baby and Fantasy (on the roller coaster) for me. Damn, she was stunning (and still is, of course).
That video and song is an insta warp back to memories I would like to have lol ..I was kinda close, but this song brings up a nostalgia about something I used to feel when I was a teenager ❤️ thank you?
 Eminem and Rihannas Love the Way you lie featured Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan at a time all of them were an obsession of mine!!
We watched this in my women’s studies class while talking about abusive relationships.
 Ciara’s Like A Boy changed me
High school me tellin myself she’s just a REALLY GOOD DANCER and that’s why I’m obsessed with this video and for ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER REASON
Yeah this one really does it for me
 Can’t remember to forget you- Shakira & Rihanna It made me want to be that door
Shakira seems to be the common denominator in a lot of these 👀
I am utterly convinced the song is about two lesbian lovers torn apart by men lol

 this mv had a weird chokehold on me
Me too,it’s so weirdly,deeply melancholic?Like the sound from a parallel universes memory if that makes sense at all.
100% you have totally encapsulated how I feel viscerally about this video and song. Never able to explain it! It’s like a fever dream.
Omgosh,I feel understood!There are a couple of songs that give off similar vibes,the type you listen to one random day that leave you in a trance like state,not understanding what you are feeling and why.

Silverchair fucking rules
I worked at a bar that had a video jukebox and the owner was a racist ass prude who removed all the hip hop videos. Every time he came in I would add this to the queue from my phone just to watch him get mad 😂 (fuck you, Gary)

Oh ohhhh. This has unlocked some.. memories
 Baby boy and Naughty Girl (probably considered tame nowadays), I just remember growing up watching Beyoncé in DC4 and this was a more grown up vibe.
 Ride (Ciara and Ludacris) was… nice
ciara in any video 😍
Yesss revisit this video when I’m hitting cardio. The dance moves, physique - wow.
Came here for this one. My God.
 Lose Control by Missy Elliott! The dancing is off the wall and I wish I could move like that!
When Beyoncé rolled up in the Pussy Wagon I died and ascended right then and there EDIT: My skin is tingling thinking about when I had Telephone, BR, Poker Face, and Paparazzi music videos on a HEAVY rotation. Such an iconic era
beyoncé with bangs in this clip 😩 she looked soooo good
I think this era of Gaga videos were the last MVs I actually looked forward to dropping.
Was just listening to The Fame Monster album this morning and thinking of the absolute chokehold Gaga had on the industry in 2009-2010.
[удалено]
Words cannot describe how much this video meant to me
I tried putting damn Diet Coke cans in my hair
Britney Spears toxic video helped me realize I’m bisexual 
This is the video with her in the flight attendant costume right? Cause if so, same. When that video came up on MTV it gave me feelings like "I shouldn't be allowed to watch this" lmao
Yes that’s the exact one, I got the same feeling 🤣 
 I was about 12 when Mariah Carey released "Honey" and the video utterly transfixed me. I think Jennifer Beals in Flashdance was probably my earliest bisexual awakening but I was too young to get it. I was still 3 years away from coming out to myself with "Honey" but i watched that video with RAPT attention every time it came on. MC is ridiculously hot. I think she's still hot to this day but "Honey" is something else.
 Beautiful Liar by Beyoncé and Shakira…yeah. Yeah.
I love how they're switching their positions at the end of the video to get the viewer confused about where Bey is and where Shakira is.
 Bad Romance is mad genius personified, a visual orgy of insanity, was utterly mind blowing start to finish, broke the fucking mold previously cracked only by Thriller, and IMO is the greatest music video of all time.
Just the sound of the lights flashing on in the beginning and the end.. Iconic

She served oil spill but make it sexy
Almost like with porn for me, there’s a fine line between attraction and the desire to BE them. She was so sexy but I realized I just wished I WAS her ~sigh~
I totally get it. I had that with Drew Barrymore as a blonde in Charlie’s Angels, I started rocking these sunglasses and the platinum blonde and realized ok I actually just wanna be her lol https://preview.redd.it/dav4vwmomx7c1.jpeg?width=445&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c59ac7caeb5ba86620ebe25c6d656b06a4464b35
This music video definitely helped my bisexual awakening. Christina Milian is so effortlessly sexy.
 This video of bodies all over each other and also her tiny gold shorts in spinning around. Ugh Kylie, take me now.
Those tiny shorts are definitely one of my Roman Empire moments
This song is great but the video is everything. From the bigger concepts to the small details. There’s something about when he’s briefly just standing there sorta popping his elbows and his chest that makes me say “this guy is a fucking genius” every time.
Donald Glover is an ICON
Cold Hearted by Paula Abdul was an awakening for me. I was pretty young when it came out and it made me feel THINGS. https://preview.redd.it/o0vrqqtpvw7c1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d22a5a6a51970256808375f49909d01fc2d5d80
It still leaves me SHOOK
 **Teyana Taylor** in the *Fade* music video
OMG I was gonna comment this and so happy to see this. She is a beast!!! I watched this so many times yesterday actually, so inspiring. Art in motion.
Absolutely support this submission
I was hoping someone would post this. I'm 100% in love with him, here.
He didn’t have to go this hard but I’m so glad he did
Shakira's 'La Tortura'. The whole music video plus her dancing in black oil 
 thoughts were thought that day
I miss that Rihanna!
This was my answer too lol. Used to watch this on the library computer everyday in middle school
 My love is like wo
 This dress, this move specifically. Beyoncé in Crazy in Love video clip is the goddess of all goddesses
I very specifically remember watching the ‘Making the Video” of this. I was in utter awe of Beyoncé the entire time.
 I know it’s not a “music video” in the traditional sense, but the music from this movie is awesome. The first time Ewan McGregor opened his mouth to sing The Hills Are Alive in the beginning of the movie… my 17 year old heart couldn’t take it.
 All of them - all of it - as a young girl I was obsessed entirely
 She Wolf
 the hold she had on me lol
not dirrty being my #2 most listened to song this year 😭

I was looking for this answer. Every video and the whole album belongs here.
https://i.redd.it/mi185dd9fx7c1.gif This one too
 Pon De Replay. Be still my beating heart
 Lose Control by Missy Elliott!
Three, for different reasons: Slave for You - Britney Scream - MJ and Janet Closer - NIN 
Went scrolling looking for Closer
Gay dude here. I used to be obsessed with the choreography to Dirrty as a kid. Same with Slave 4 U. No idea why my parents were shocked when I came out lol.
 I know it’s a sad song but Pink’s abs and black hair in Family Portrait hit different
I used to be obsessed with this song & video. It was pretty depressing lol.
I remember when I saw Dirrty at age 13 that I found the idea of jeans and visible underwear hilarious and started sketching outfits that for example were made of fur and meant to be worn during winter but still left underwear visible. Fast forward to present, and all drag queens are doing outfits like that in RuPauls drag race, my fashion vision was really ahead of the the times.
 Lipstick Lover by Janelle Monae, I think about this video several times a day
I am a bi girl on the ace spectrum but Janelle is so hot that she blasts directly through my reticence. The image of her coming out of the pool in a wet PLEASURE T-shirt destroyed me. I think it's the hottest thing I've ever seen. Idk what it is about her facial expressions in particular but she's so seductive and I'm so happy she's queer. 🌈 but also she is like... Just so sexy. There are very few people who make me feel that way and I guess she's one of them, along with Cillian Murphy.
 Anything by Placebo, god I had such a weakness for androgynous boys 🥵🥵🥵
My husbands 
 Single ladies - Beyoncé Literally remember asking my mom if being obsessed with this video meant I was gay
So many Ciara moments mentioned here but my favourite is Promise. 
 I was in 2nd grade when this came out. I remember getting super close to the TV screen and looking down, because I thought I'd be able to see down her shirt lol
[удалено]
Yes I love that song and the music video. The styling and the wig have a special place in my heart. 😅
 Angelina in Anybody Seen My Baby got my thoughts thinking thoughtfully
 Doncha with all that hip swinging and skin showing … love love love beautiful woman ❤️
 freedom 90. and i’m asexual so it’s QUITE moving.
https://i.redd.it/7bmv9k654x7c1.gif how could i forget!
 honestly, i will never, ever forget being in like... 4th grade maybe? and staying up late/waking up to MTV and seeing the video for "closer" by NIN and just being so enraptured and confused by the feelings it gave me lmao. VERY core sexuality memory involving kink, feminine men, and naked women. other queer awakenings def included Dirrty, Toxic, Lady Marmalade lmao. not a ton of male-led awakenings through music videos til i got a little older and AFI released Girl's Not Grey and eventually Love Like Winter and Miss Murder. unlikely awakening, but also some of those early Rammstein videos had me SWEATING and i don't even find muscular men attractive lmfao
 I think I’m dating myself with this one
Way newer than many of these, but “[Make Me Feel](https://youtu.be/tGRzz0oqgUE?si=5ROQ06susEoS_NAO)” by Janelle Monáe is just about the sexiest non-porn clip imaginable.

I was hypnotized and didn't really understand why until other girls started calling me a dyke. I guess I was watching a little too intently. Oops indeed.
 Express Yourself by Madonna. Directed by the great David Fincher himself. Hot, wet dudes plus a glimpse of Madonna sideboob?! It certainly left an impression.
 My 4 year old eyes weren’t prepared for the feeling this brought me lol.
How to Be a Heartbreaker by Marina made me realize I'm Gay
Honestly it was most of 00s pop/rap/hip hop/currently renowned as classics videos. I call it the foreshadowing. My eyes were glued to everyone and everything, I feel that accurately describes me now lmfaooooo. But that second slide of Xtina in Dirrty.... Yes. That's it.
Anything Missy Elliot does because she’s a great dancer
Paranoid Android by Radiohead. I’d watch MTV for hours just to see it. It blew my mind as a kid.
I can’t find any gifs of it but Holly Valance - Kiss Kiss. Had some thoughts about that one.
I got into linkin park through some dbz anime music video that came with my computer in 2001/2 and I think about that a lot. All of my baby bi videos have been listed
