This document contains the results of a survey about music video viewing habits. The survey collected data on respondents' ages (majority 16-17), gender (equal boys and girls), how often they watch music videos (most every week or two), preferred music genres (mostly hip-hop, R&B, and pop), and what they expect to see in music videos (mainly dancing and images related to the lyrics). It also shows how respondents find out about new music (mostly internet and friends) and their opinions on whether lyrics and visuals should match and if the artist should appear in the video.
