    AAF sent this video to Michael Jackson for approval before they released it. He liked it all but the kid dancing with the mask on. So they remade the part with the kid dancing without the mask and sent it back to him. He ended up liking the mask better.

    Practically every bit of this video is a tribute to MJ. There is a MJ reference in every scene...some subtle, some blatant, some a mix of both.

    I loved me some AAF back in HS. I think, especially back in the day, this was classified as "Alternative" but the simpler answer is to say "Rock" using the very wide brush that paints with. Keep in mind though, this is a cover of MJ's version, so it could even have a secondary "Pop" label too. If you're interested in more from the band, I would recommend "Movie" and "Summer" from the same album as this. [Athology] as a whole was a really solid set of songs.
