Last year, the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) launched a new award category for “Best Video With A Message,” made to honour the apparently brand-new emerging trend of musicians expressing feelings in their music.

“During the past year, we’ve seen a remarkable number of artists use their music to explore deeply personal experiences and issues they were passionate about to create powerful videos that resonated with and inspired millions of their fans,” MTV president Stephen Friedman said in a statement when the category was announced last year.

Lady Gaga took home the inaugural trophy for her “Born This Way” clip, beating out other nominees Eminem and Rihanna’s “Love the Way You Lie,” Katy Perry’s “Firework,” Pink’s “Fuckin’ Perfect,” Rise Against’s “Make It Stop (September’s Children),” and Taylor Swift’s “Mean.”

To take look at this year’s nominees, and what that hidden “messages” they could actually be broadcasting, head over to Pop Hunter.
