Perfection

It's rarely achieved in music and is a most subjective term, but when it happens, there's no doubt. I just watched the video for Smashing Pumpkin's "1979" and it feels, for lack of a better word, perfect. The frenetic, yet rhythmic camera work gives the video its pulse which directly mirrors the song's rubbery groove. The fact that Billy Corgan looks like an Addams Family extra doesn't diminish the video's narrative, which is as timeless as the song itself - kids hang out, drive around, cause chaos, and end up partying the night away. It's the essence of youth synced up perfectly to one of the Pumpkins' best songs. In short, perfection. A five-star merging of audio and visual; a rarity for the medium of music video.
