Another song which comes to mind when thinking of good music videos is A$AP Rocky's "L$D (Love x $ex x Dreams)".
The psychedelic video was directed by Dexter Navy and co-directed by A$AP Rocky himself.
Here's some examples of what I noticed:
1) The music video for L$D features A$AP Rocky wearing gold jewellery and smoking marijuana which is part of his brand. It helps Rocky create a recognisable brand image.

2) In the music video, when A$AP is singing about love at one point, he kisses the woman. This imagery illustrates the lyrics.

3) The psychedelic genre is shown through iconography. The animation and manipulation of the music video display this.

| A$AP is singing about the drug LSD, the video shows the effects of LSD. |
