In the most recent years, people have used technology in the right way, particularly in music videos. Music videos in 2019 were used to empower women, help people cope up with problems, and shine a light on problems that the government is not talking about. 2019 has proved that musicians, producers, and content creators can come together and shine a light on certain areas.

A perfect example of this is Logic’s “1-800-273-8255”, which features Alessia Cara and Khalid. The song shines a huge light on mental health. Also, the title of the song is the national suicide prevention number of America. The song is such a huge hit that it has over 100 million views on YouTube alone. People are calling it one of the best videos of our generation.

Another music video that people love to talk about is “This Is America” by Childish Gambino, which shines a huge light on gun violence and how things are happening in America. Childish Gambino’s “This Is America” has over 600 million views on YouTube right now.
