Glitches In The Wild: SZAâs Video for âSnoozeâ on MTV
I do like catching the occasional âglitch in the wildâ, an instance where the presentation of photographs or videos are accidentally corrupted. Sometimes it happens on one of these modern electronic advertising hoardings that you see around town, and sometimes it might be in the comfort of your own home.
In this instance we were doing some housework watching MTV (or rather having MTV on in the background while the house gets cleaned), when âSnoozeâ by SZA came up. It started off quite well, but very quickly it was evident that there was a glitch in either the broadcast of this video or in the copy of the video owned by MTV. (Itâs a bit like sometimes the CD copy owned by a radio station has been played so many times, it starts skipping.)
Anyhow, in this instance the video glitched several times throughout the broadcast, so I had to take a few screenshots from the TV. I did check that this wasnât a deliberate glitch by the makers of the video, and you can see the original version below.
