Three types of music videos.

Narrative- A narrative music video is a video that tells a short story during the duration of the song. This can also be linked to the lyrics and a story can be built from a song and then shown in the video. 
example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4y-RzVGrHg 

Performance- A performance music video is where the band or singer actually sing the song in the video and you can see them doing this. 
example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76RbWuFll0Y 


Abstract- A abstract music video is where the video has no link to the lyrics and can be seen random to the viewer. 
example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrO4YZeyl0I 


However just like films having more than one genre a music video can have more than one type involved so it can be a narrative music video but also a performance, as it can be telling story but also the singer could be singing in it at the same time.
