Before directing Charlie's Angels and becoming a Hollywood powerhouse, McG (Joseph McGinty Nichol) defined late-90s music video aesthetics. Sugar Ray's 'Fly,' Smash Mouth's 'Walkin' on the Sun,' Barenaked Ladies' 'One Week,' The Offspring's 'Pretty Fly (For a White Guy),' Sublime's 'What I Got' - McG brought sun-soaked California vibes, rapid-fire editing, and infectious energy to MTV. His videos captured the optimism and goofiness of late-90s pop-rock before he conquered Hollywood. This is where a music video legend was born.
