This fan video of Not a Bad Thing by Justin Timberlake was put together after a campaign that ran throughout May this year that asked people to submit their love stories via [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pledgegood), using the #NotABadLoveStory tag. All types of love are represented in the video, showing a broad spectrum of long-term relationships, friendships, married couples, familial love and self-love. For most of it, the video takes the form of a collage featuring photos of people on Instagram, as well as a few of their thoughts on love.

January 2013 marked the first time Timberlake has released new music since 2006 and with [interactive online social campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/music-deserves-bose) like this one, it's evident why he's been so successful with his musical comeback.
