I agree with the others. Context, context, context. I think it all depends on what they try to do with the nudity. It could be almost purely sexual, suggestive or erotic, humorous, or symbolic. You can tie it to freedom, maybe tie it to a feeling of vulnerability, or perhaps in some weird avante garde way that you just wouldn't understand.

I think there will always be an element of sexuality, which is kind of unavoidable since it's rooted in our basest instincts, and even then I still think you could tap into that and still pull something off without being flagrant or tasteless. And to be honest, I haven't seen all that much nudity in music videos, outside of a Matt & Kim one I saw ages ago. I'm just saying things.
