One way in which music videos use media language to differ from each other is that each music video tells a different story, each song that is sang has a story behind it and that will be produced by a music video so that either people can understand the meanings of lyrics more and that also it attracts more people to listen to their music. An example is that Teenage Dirtbag is about a boy who desperately wants to win this girls heart who has a boyfriend, and he’s the popular sporty type of boy compared to the other boy who’s a nerd and is the complete opposite, it ends up that the girl finally leaves her boyfriend for the nerd because of the way he was treating him and they go to prom but only till the end when we all realize it was just a dream. Some lines stand out like ‘she doesn’t give a damn about me’ and this tells us that at first the girl doesn’t know who the boy is but then when she finally realizes what her boyfriend is doing to him, she leaves him and does notice the boy eventually. The story in this music video is also quite a basic story and that can have an impact on the younger audience to understand more, it is also quite relaxed as in one part as they’re playing the drums with bananas which can be seen as funny and laid back. The other music video called Sk8ter Boi is about a girl who’s singing about her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend who didn’t like him as well as her friends because he was a skater boy and he wore baggy clothes and she on the other hand was a ballet dancer, the complete opposite. The music video is very skater much like, it has graffiti all over the walls, with lots of crowds of people, with the boyfriend recording her sing she has all this eye makeup and the skater clothes which make her look goth like. The song all ends up telling us that the skater boy will end up famous and being on MTV with his ex-girlfriend going to watch him and knowing she turned him down and that she will regret doing that, and the girl singing the song gives us hints that she is perhaps a bit jealous of her.
