Disoccidented #3

Another thing I've noticed is in certain music videos, Europe and white people are featured pretty prominently. What kind of gets me is they're used for the same sort of exoticism that Eastern stuff is used for in the West. However, at the same time, Europe seems to equal this sort of sophistication that I don't really think that "Oriental" stuff really does in the West. What's particularly interesting to me is that most of the ones I've seen tend to conjure up this sort of dark gothic fairy tale thing with castles and masked balls and Renaissance paintings, I don't know what I would have expected, cowboys? astronauts? blonde people on the beach?
