Grimes’ video for "Genesis" begins like Burning Man meets David Lynch’s ominous late night drive scenes but, ultimately, there's a lot more going on in this self-directed clip. A number of characters appear, mostly played by Grimes, all highlighting some faction of rave style. One version of Grimes wears a large snake, another wields a spiked flail, but all of them look appropriately suited to be hanging out while she fairy whispers.
