comment
Most music videos are brimming with flashy visuals, elaborate costumes, crazy cinematography, and anything else that will make the recording artist look awesome while singing. Sometimes, however, a music video will spend its run time focusing on ordinary-looking people. The people in the music video will look they were plucked off the streets or from their jobs, and the artist running the show will look rather ordinary as well.
A variation is a video that consists of successive clips of fans miming to/singing along/playing along /air guitarring with the song, usually self shot and sent in as part of a competition to appear in their favorite bands video.

The music video for Markus Schulz's "Destiny" is the random meeting and development of a romance between two strangers.

Miraculous Ladybug: In the episode "Frightningale", superstar Clara Nightingale is working on a videoclip for her song that celebrates Ladybug and Cat Noir. But due to the machinations of Chloé Bourgeois, she loses permission to shoot videos anywhere in France. The solution Ladybug comes up with is to have ordinary Parisian citizens doing the dance all over Paris and make a clip of those scenes.

Zucchero: The video of the song "Overdose D'Amore" (Love Overdose) shows Zucchero singing the lyrics (which tell about his and everybody else's need of overflowing love, in every possible way) while several people from different ages and races dance. The video is themed around learning to embrace diversity, so it makes sense.

Soul Asylum's music video for "Can't Even Tell" featured the band and the cast of Clerks playing hockey on the roof of the Quick Stop. Randall lampshades this trope during a spoken monologue at the beginning of the music video:

Pharrell Williams' "Happy" is made from a 24-hour-long super cut which filmed a lot of ordinary people, a few celebrities, people in Minion costumes (since the song features on the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack) and occasionally Williams himself singing and dancing to the song on the streets of Los Angeles.

van Canto did this for their cover of Grave Digger's "Rebellion". There's a playful informational message at the start regarding professional actors, but much of the footage comprises fans having fun with the music.

Imelda May has used this device a couple of times:
“Kentish Town Waltz� intersperses scenes of May on stage with views of ordinary life in (presumably) the London district of Kentish Town.
“Should’ve Been You� has May walking through a London street market, accumulating a crowd of ordinary women who watch her singing and occasionally sing a line themselves.

Zigzagged in the video for "Rockstar" by Nickelback; the video features a huge montage of celebrities miming the song in various locales (including Gene Simmons, Kid Rock, Eliza Dushku, Three 6 Mafia and others), interspersed with everyday people doing the same.
