10 Best Rock Music Videos Of The 2020s So Far

5. Concert For Aliens - Machine Gun Kelly

Say what you will about the man's personal life or his sudden decision to ditch rap for the world of pop punk, but damn does Machine Gun Kelly know how to make a good music video.

MGK's 2020 song Concert for Aliens is basically a classic Blink-182 song (complete with Travis Barker) and the video is very much in that style as well.

Set against an eye-catching pink backdrop, Kelly and Barker play to a crowd of extra-terrestrials who definitely aren't just members of the production crew in bad masks.

The story part of the video sees our bleached blonde hero hosting some sort of game show. Don't ask us what the rules are, because there don't seem to be any.

MGK sets a clown on fire, has the top of his head removed, and then ends up being kidnapped by... himself with a fake moustache.

Sure.

On the whole, this is a brilliant bit of throwback fun to an era that a lot of people are very nostalgic for.

Ew, people are nostalgic for pop punk now.

When did we all get so old?
