Maybe you were laughing because of Serbian production values but I doubt the director intended it to be funny.
In short, don't lump all musos into the same basket.
Notice the bolded part? It means I think they are, not know...All the ones I do know are though and that's something I'd prefer ? So there's no need to jump on the defensive.
How's Jack being defensive? He's not even trying to recontextualise anything he's said. And why would he be defensive?
The bolded part looks very much like you making an assertion, qualified, at best, with "IMO".
Why is there always a need to be pedantic about everything...

He gave a giant explanation as to why all musos couldn't be lumped into the same basket.

Speak for yourself please. There are musicians that I know and musicians that I have read about who are clearly not crude people, and for whom the only abnormal wiring seems to be that they play an instrument very well and/or write songs.
Musicians are not ipso facto eccentric or even sick, and asserting that they are just plays to the stereotypes held by medieval mother grundy types.
And if some musician or other is somehow warped then being a musician is no excuse.
Then you did too...

Over a thought...

Now you're trying to poke holes in an argument I'm not even making, and now I'm over it...so...

What movie???? I have seen alot lately that absolutly floored me....... "Anti Christ" comes to mind......... not about the anti christ just a super stressful film with william dafoe..... but its not just disturbing for the sake of it, it was a bloody great film, because it really puts into perspective the worst characters of humans and the descent into insanity..... and lust
Serbian Film
That sounds interesting ? William Dafoe is normally quite awesome ? The concept also seems alot better than Serbian films, which was essentially just seeing how much sexually perverted violence and gore you could cram into 2 hours...

Other films which i find to be disturbing for the sake of disturbing people (thus no purpose) are stupid and that is the ppoint its to much, when it bypasses the art I guess. Like half the SAW films's theres no point other than to cash in and be gross....
This is pretty much why I think Serbian film is retarded. No point, just overboard filth all the time...

I guess the same applies to music videos
Not so much the gore side, unless it's those really ridiculous metal bands like Cannibal Corpse. Definitly the sexuality side if you count all the stuff off of MTV ? I get what you're saying though, it's not often you see a well done video these days and it doesn't take a big budget to accomplish this - people just bypass the art ?
Here's a pretty cool video I've always liked, quite a chilled track. The video itself is fairly inexpensive to produce but absolutely brilliantly done:
