Top 100 music videos - No.10 & 9 - Nirvana 'Smells like teen spirit' - Madonna 'Vogue'

SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT
The look of the video to smells like teen spirit takes the look of a 'corny' American high school and turns it into a dark, depressing setting. The scene has a slight orange tinted, dark glow to it, like a fire. But this dark image fits in perfectly with the mood and the sound of the music, dark and aggressive, the song and video are memorable as part of a culture that rose in the 90's and changed the landscape of popular music at the time.

VOGUE
As Madonna's career has progressed, she has managed to change her image significantly in order to attempt to stay current with the music and fashion in different ears of time. 'Vogue' is an example of this, as a popular dance in the 90's , Madonna capitalises on the craze of the dance 'Vogueing' with this video and hence why it is more memorable.
