Stardeath and White Dwarfs: "Age of the Freak" (Video)

Is it possible that the "datamoshing" technique that seemed so awesome when Chairlfit and Kanye did it is played out already? What used to seem cool now seems like a cheap way to make a boring music video somewhat interesting, like this clip for Stardeath and White Dwarfs' "Age of the Freak." The lead singer of Stardeath is Dennis Coyne, aka nephew of Flaming Lip Wayne, so it sort of feels lazy to call this Flaming Lips-esque. But seriously this sounds like a little hazier version of the Lips circa 2006.
