Paramore - Brick by Boring Brick

The Genre of this video and song is sort of a cross-breed between rock and punk. The song is targeted at the the culture of the people who listen to this genre of music - teenagers of all ages, from middle to lower class.
The video is based in a fairytale land with hints to the 'Alice in Wonderland' film. As the little girl ventures to this land through a door she's overcome to, what seems to be, a happy, beautiful land with friendly creatures. However, as she travels further she sees this land isn't what she first thought. The skies soon turn dark and thunder and lighting fills the skies where she meets sinister and deadly looking creatures. She then runs away from this land where many creatures of the night try to catch her.
I feel that the meaning behind this video is that looks can be decieving and where the grass looks greener the other side, it may be a horrible place compaired to home.

Paramore - crushcrushcrush

The genre of this video and song is the same as the last, the sub-culture 'Punk-rock'. And is also targeted to 13-19 year olds of middle to lower class.
The video shows the band playing in a desert with outland bandits spying on them for afar. To the end of the song the bandits start smashing up Paramore's music set. I feel the song has no relivants to the video whatsoever. The song is about a man having an attraction to the lead singer of Paramore and she decides to play him around and take him up on his offer. The video shows Paramore playing in a desert before a group of outland banits smash up the set. I believe the song and video have no real connection or can relate to each other.
