Remembering Andrew Goodwins theory I think they cannot be actually classified into one of the three categories he talks about (disjuncture, amplification, illustration) because the only relationship between the song and the video are the lyrics which are on the actual screen. There are repetitive images because of the chorus and lines which are repeated in the actual song.
As Carol Vernalis said though, the edits are actually so fast! especially because not only are they changing on the beat but are changing with the lyric in some cases. I do think this type of video is catchy but it doesn't fulfil the whole reason for a music video in my view. I would want a video where I can see the artist or where there is a storyline keeping engaged throughout.
Examples of Lyrical Music Video's:
Alicia Keys-New Day
Ke$ha- Die Young
Rihanna- Diamonds
