For each episode, you will post a music video that fits the theme. IT MUST BE AN OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO!
Your submissions will be judged on the song AND the music video itself. Each submission will receive a score for the song and then a separate score for the music video from each judge. The combined score from both judges will determine the overall ranking of each episode.
You may submit music videos that were submitted last season, all except for the ones that won episodes; those will be listed in the chart.
Now, there might be instances that we may give a music video a different score than we did before. That all depends on whether me might have gotten accustomed to it. Submitting previous season submissions is entirely up to you.

▪ Just because we might like the song, doesn't mean that we like the music video.
▪ Maybe the music video was good, but we didn't really care for the song.
▪ In some instances maybe we feel that the music video didn't really match well with the song.

These may not always be the case but just keep that in mind when submitting your music videos.
Last season, 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞'𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 was never used so that will not be in play this season.
For this season, the winners of the first five episodes will get to choose a 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐱. These 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐱𝐞𝐬 each contain a special power that you may use to help you throughout the season. After each episode, the winner will be notified through DMs about which 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐁𝐨𝐱 they would like to receive.
Rina Sawayama is a brilliant artist, pushing music further and further into the future. She simultaneously highlights injustice and provides us with hit songs. This particular song and video are meant to show how wasteful we as a human species are, and the amount of stuff we buy is ridiculous and harmful to the environment. The title - XS - is a play on the words "Excess," or too much. The artistry just shines through here and is showcased in a brilliant music video.
