The style of music videos differ greatly across music genres. A particularly clear example of this dichotomy is between rock and RnB. Here are 2 videos that show this perfectly:
My Chemical Romance - I Don't Love You:

Rock videos are very focused on the music. The music is at the heart of the band, wheras for some other genres, it is more about image and popularity. Although Gerard etc (MCR) all are dressed to impress and looking gooooood, you can tell through their emotion what really matters. Rock has progressed from being all about the music and not caring so much about the appearance and promotion; to still being 100% about the music, however now with added emphasis on appearance. Most rock bands still prefer their music to be favoured over themselves, which is not the case with all genres.
