Music videos are still awesome works of cinematography, production, visual, and musical art. Videos like APESHIT from The Carters, Lady Gaga's Telephone, Childish Gambino's This is America, and pretty much anything from OK Go have been at least equal to the best videos made from that era.

It's not fair for a lens of nostalgia to mean you're comparing the best videos of an era to an average video from a current one.
