My Favorite Alternative Rock Music Videos of the NOW

Summer has started once again, and I am stuck at home waiting endless days for my volunteering job to start... It doesn't start for another month. 
I've been SO bored that I've contemplated buying a gun and shooting... my walls. 
So today, when I was in one of my lazy, bored shlumps I decided to start watching music videos On Demand. 
I automatically went to the Alternative Rock category and started watching the music videos there. I became so enthralled by some of the videos that I decided to share them. Con todo el mundo!!! Aka with the rest of the world. 
I hope you'll enjoy my favorite music videos. Some are funny. Some are catchy. Some are thought-provoking. And some are just plain weird! Please enjoy these. Whether you're sitting at home bored out of your minds. Or you're just looking for something entertaining. I invite you to take a look into these rock music videos(which happen to be in no particular order).
1. It's Nice to Be Alive- Ball Park Music
I really like this music video. The song is all about being grateful that you live in the world. And the music video reflects that. The music video shows the band members as they realize that the world is about to end. They get to work doing all the things they can manage to cram in before the world ends. It's really fun to watch and quite crazy!
2. Simple Song- The Shins

This music video is very entertaining. It's really crazy and fast-paced. It tells an interesting story in five minutes, and I really enjoy it. I couldn't draw my eyes away from the screen. It centers around three grown-up kids and their relationships with their father. It is really well done. The camera angles are perfect, and the story is enlightening. It tells of their relationship when they were younger and when they were older. And I just absolutely love it. 
3. Not Your Fault- AWOLNATION

Although I don't really like this song, the music video is really cute. It takes us on a trip through the sea, on land, and in outer-space. The video is an adorable stop motion of the band which reminds me of Chicken Run and other childhood favorites. It also vaguely reminds me of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. Regardless its a cool video.
4. Paddling Out- Miike Snow
This is probably my favorite video. It goes as number four because I didn't want to scare ya'll away. This music video is insanity at its finest. And I find it to be particularly intriguing. I don't know why I enjoy it so much, but its great. It's about a guy who suddenly ends up in outer-space and meets up with aliens who change him into this "perfect human", but they changed other people into the perfect human, and it's just plain weird. 
5. Every Teardrop is a Waterfall- Coldplay
This is yet another cool stop motion. I don't really like this song, but I enjoy the magic of the video. It's fun to watch and cool to see all the work put into it. I have a soft spot for stop motions because I actually made one myself which you can check out here: Awesomeness!
6. Houdini- Foster the People
This music video is SUPER crazy. Haha. And really well acted. If Foster the People are game for it, they should make a movie and follow up this story line. It's amazing what corps will do for the money.
7. Anna Sun-Walk the Moon
This music video is really catchy and has a lot of coordinated dancing which makes me super happy. So it wins for that. It's also really colorful and "the vibrant colors give your body an experience that it will never forget".(That last part was taken as a direct quote form my sister)

Well those are the seven videos that I can think of right now which I specifically enjoyed. Until next time, have a great summer. :D
