Music videos are a big part of the industry for musicians as they use them to express their images and concepts to the world.

Many iconic videos have graced fans’ TV and computer screens, like Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s “Telephone,” Madonna’s “Vogue,” Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass,” and more.

Besides these artists, there are also singers who take risks and push the limits of their creativity by creating alternative universes with a deep history and a long duration.

From Janelle Monae to Troye Sivan, here are some of the best alternate universe clips.

Years and Years – Palo Santo

Even though the band disbanded a few years ago and frontman Olly Alexander is the only one to carry on their legacy, the band left their mark on the industry by releasing their short film “Palo Santo.”

Directed by Fred Rowson and produced by Blink, the short/music video is the sequel to their previous singles “If You’re Over Me” and “Sanctify”.

The story turned around a futuristic science fiction musical ensemble where androids have reigned and are thirsty for emotions.

The album of the same name is based on a fictional world that features religious iconography and breaks down rules of gender and sexuality.
