This band empowered 24,000 fans to [star in their music video](https://www.hypebot.com/24000-fans-partake-in-crowdsourced-music-video/). This is a [brilliant, crowdsourced music video](https://www.hypebot.com/crowdsourced-art-fuels-the-johnny-cash-project/) of Johnny Cash fan art. Andy Grammer did a neat, [choose-your-own adventure style video](https://www.hypebot.com/the-next-iteration-of-interactive-music-videos/). This [video uses 700,000 Lite-Brite pegs](https://www.hypebot.com/music-video-made-with-a-lite-brite-and-700000-pegs/). They're all compelling in their own way. But is a 3D music video still cool? I can't decide. 

 Hypebot caught wind of this music video by Pepper and I'm unsure if it's anything worth mentioning. Alas, I am mentioning it now, but that's what readers are for.

It seems like 3D music videos caught a second-wind once Avatar got popular.

Perhaps, because of this, they still feel gimmicky to me. Not that any of the music videos I listed above aren't gimmicks. They are. In researching this a bit, I also came across a 3D music video that doesn't require glasses. Pepper's does.

Yes, they will mail you a pair for free. But fans can't enjoy the video instantly. So, to me, it kind of defeats the purpose of attempting to go viral. **What's your take**?
