on my way home from running errands the radio was playing 90s songs and i was looking one of them up when i got home 'cause, you know, it sounded good, and the music video is................. boy it was embarrassing to watch

like, boy

there is

a lot to unpack

mixed in among some truly 90s-tastic nonsense

anyway i can't be alone in this

Sum 41 - In Too Deep (Official Music Video)

/heavy-russian-accent
"This is suffering"

That was certainly a video.

Too 90s

Too Much 90s

Gotta just love how the protag band has a diver sharing flirts with a gal while the antag jock who flirts with a guy is the one to get actively sabotaged by the mirror shine.

yeah did i mention how there's A Lot To Unpack?

cause i too was looking at it like "what are you trying to say with this creative choice Exactly?

also like are the jocks Bad because they have Practiced Sport and then the band is Good because they Are Not Jocks and they win because they are......... Better At Sport despite being Not Jocks, or because the jocks are Too Gay to be Good At Sport????

i don't... i don't understand the things they did

Huh

...what even?

They are also not good at singing. Vowel production was just..Nope

hahah, i have heard this song so many times! So Many! And never watched the music video, man that was o very painfully 90s

but i just never watch music videos as a rule

90s being nostalgic for the midcentury jock/nerd binary even as the myth of its existence unravels

Look, there are good 2000s music videos, this just isn't one of them

The Click Five - Just The Girl (Official Video)

I remember loving this song and

yeah, I remember that song, actually listening to the lyrics is so yikes

I feel like I used to hear it on the radio a lot forever ago

Like also in grocery stores too
