Let me guess, because it shows women in a moderately sexualized context?
Wrong, entirely.
It's the whole bullshit revenge fantasy and overly exaggerated "villains".
It's just horribly written, badly directed, and dumb. The cliches abound in the worst possible way, and it points to a lot of the flaws of the era because of that. It's the music video equivalent of the pretty girl that dresses plain gets a makeover and removes their glasses and now they rool the skool movies.
They're a product of the worst of the eighties' pop culture while having next to zero of the good parts (which are the car and the band, which are still fucking awesome)
Fair enough. Though I don’t think that means it aged badly, all those flaws were valid then as well.
To me, aging badly means it was culturally and socially appropriate at the time but really isn’t any more. Being a shitty or stupid video doesn’t really count for that I would say. Aging badly would be rappers joking about rape and using gay slurs for example.
