I don't watch music videos too much anymore, but I don't think that nudity is offensive in them. Even if they are displayed in an overtly sexual manner that degrades women, it still makes a statement on the culture of the artist's world, whether he/she intended it to be or not. An extremely sexual video can also be art as well, take the film Salo or 120 Days of Sodom for example. It's possibly one of the most disgusting things that I've ever seen, but it's hard to deny Pasolini's statements on the borgeoisie and how he inventively exerts control over the setting, costumes, and cinematography to make his point by turning what was originally a fetishist novel into an extraordinary film.
So...yeah. Nudity and sexuality can still be considered art.
