Turn Down for What
Award: Graphite Pencil
Graphite Pencil / Music Videos / Music Videos / 2015
Released by DJ Snake and Lil Jon, Turn Down For What is a balls-to-the-wall anthem advocating our right to get wasted and dance. The absurd video follows a man infected with a contagious obligation to gyrate. He skanks and shuffles his way through an apartment complex, crashing through ceilings into the apartments below and infecting everyone in his wake. The outrageous film became one of the most popular music videos of 2014, and cemented the song's title as a millennial battle cry.
