Best Trashy Music Videos

The So Much Autism Aesthetic

We here at So Much Autism love gratuitously-trashy women in varying degrees of undress, particularly when those women act out cliched fantasies by gyrating their hips to eurotrash-electropop. We each have slightly different styles: Dusty demands techno and girls that match his particular, selective criteria (cute, attractive, well-dressed or un-dressed, look as if they are STD free). Bollo likes humor, hotties, Portman, and primates-- anything relating to Mali or Andrew Jackson is merely a bonus. And where Bollo prefers restrained kitsch, I (FT) lean toward borderline camp. Gay-aesthetic, Kylie Minogue camp, but with a premium on deft camera-work and shamelessly suggestive women performing synchronized movements to a bangin' back beat. In the interest of cohesion, we've limited this post to videos which fit that description. But enough introduction-- we'll let these eloquent videos speak for us:

"Satisfaction" has always been #1 in my book. I'm comforted to know you all have such great taste in trash.

Also, may I suggest: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nZl165WDjDA
