reminder that this won a grammy for best music video back in 2009
as it should've
fucking good, this is actual art
No!
And rightfully so
It should win best music video for the rest of ever because weezer is awesome and fuck you
Boy i sure loved this year's youtube rewind
Nice
Que hacei aca wn XD
Back when that's all we were worrying about...
Lol
I know, right? They should put Weezer in charge of all of the UA-cam Rewinds.
At the time this was new people might've thought it was cringe, but these days I find it incredibly nostalgic and even kind of touching. This is the *real* UA-cam Rewind special.
YESSSSS!!!!!!
I remember the DAY this video came out! It was actually a major hit and the views blew up like no other video I had seen. One of the first 'viral' music videos. I was 14 years old and now I'm 27. Nobody I knew thought it was cringe back then, most of my friends found it awesome, especially the friends who enjoyed youtube with me. We'd watch on our parent's laptops. People in these comments claim they thought it was lame and played out back then, but I don't personally know anyone who felt that way. I downloaded the song off limewire and put it on my ipod shuffle the next day for school XD
@Kuudere Kitten That’s actually a really awesome story. Thx for sharing, my dude!
@@kuuderekitten5201 exactly, man! I’m the same age as you and everyone I know loved this video from people my age to people a lot older than me. You really only had to have cursory knowledge about the memes to enjoy it.
They sing this during their Indie Rock Roadtrip tour, I saw them Tues in Irving and last night in OKC. This song was amazing live ❤
Golden Age of UA-cam, no ads, no algorithm, not owned by a corporation, you could upload whatever you found funny. That was it.
Yes the old good days, now some videos are deleted for dumb reasons
ads were put on youtube in 2007, there has always been an algorithm, and google bought youtube in 2006. This song was made in 2009
@@Code_EJ less ads, algorithm didn't fuck people over as badly, it at least *felt* more community run than now
sad how so many people won't see this internet and think the over monetization and politics is normal
almost feels like prophecy with the lyrics, back when people didn't care about what others thought more often and minded their own business
it was owned by a corporation, just not one worth billions
The fact that they were able to get so many people to showcase the golden age of UA-cam is still amazing.
I love miss Carolina in there. Genius.
i was going to say that-- nice
The golden age of internet period... GG to the old days.
Brandon It was just how UA-cam was when this was made. It wasn’t looked back on as the golden age yet.
Especially Dramatic prairie dog and Charlie the unicorn 😆😂🤣
The original UA-cam Rewind and only good UA-cam Rewind
Surprise Sydney
Dylan Strider true
Dylan Strider nah dude the one with the Abcs was awesome
youtube meme rewind was pretty great too tho
Agreed
This might be one of the best music videos of all time
Actually it is. Winner of the 2009 Grammy to Best Music Video.
I love this video
It legitimately is.
Truly
This is like the first and only Meme vid ever lol
Watching this again after many years, for some reason I completely broke down in tears. What a time capsule into my formative years on the internet. I don’t know if it’s a lament of the lost boundless optimism of that era or just nostalgia, but damn. I wept for something lost, for the memories. Feels good to cry but what an interesting catalyst. It’s a masterpiece.
it's like a time capsule
Definitely hits emotional for me too. Those days of UA-cam where the "You" actually meant it. Of course there are still examples of that today, but damn was it more pure in those days. People posted themselves in a much more unfiltered light. It was raw, amateur and ugly. It's hard to describe, but this song captures something beyond nostalgia for me. It hits different than it did 13 years ago.
I'm with you man, I always loved this video/song but I went back to watch it because the "Maps" beauty queen was used in a meme and no one recognized her. I don't blame you for being emotional because imo this era for youtube was peak fun and goofy, it's not like that anymore. Cyberbullying was never okay but having a laugh is fine and all these people were having a laugh about themselves. I wish I could find the original filming of it, it was great.
Me because of the spiritual message it had for me in it
Shhhhhhhhh rude. Not trying to cry again. 😝❤
This aged incredibly well
@LegoGuy87 Its more than about what memes it used, it's about how it's from a time period when being a UA-camr wasn't cool or a career or anything like that. Back in the day, these were the inside jokes of an underdog subculture, and that lends credibility to both the music video and the song's defiant lyrics. Who better to illustrate 'doing the things you wanna do' than people who bared themselves on the internet, often got made fun of or marginalized, and then subsequently became part of the DNA of internet culture? The video content matches the music in a way that's extremely rare.
It's the best youtube rewind.
@@ungovernableevilmonger4660 Especially since this was the video that inspired the entire rewind concept. This is a historical record of internet culture in its infancy.
Internet culture had existed loooong before this video but it’s an accurate reflection on the infancy of widespread video culture.
@@mirsolis4992 Of course it did, but it was very fragmented. Tons of subcultures that existed all over the internet with overlapping sectors like a Venn Diagram. I kind of think of that as Internet culture's infancy. From around 2000 onward internet culture started to form a more coherent and unified identity. Still with uncountable subcultures but held together now with a social aspect overtop it all.
This video has memes in it like NumaNuma which started on Newgrounds in 2004, Peanut Butter Jelly Time started around 2002, and All Your Base has been kicking around since around 1998. So while this video is the first re-wind and a time capsule of early UA-cam culture it's all also a record of early internet culture.

Listening to this 13 years later just hits different. Normally all old songs are nostalgic, yeah yeah, but this particular song just put every trending video in the beginning era of UA-cam into one music video and it is especially emotional now that I'm older and everything is different. This is my childhood right here in one video.
me too buddy me too
Well, thank you Tom Scott. Without you, I wouldn't have discovered this gem of a video. A time capsule of what UA-cam culture was back in the 2000. It's incredibly nostalgic and it fills me with happiness
Weezer Rocks!!!!!

Do you mean TomSka? Just watched his video on meme culture and I was glad he brought up this banger.

@@emporioalnino4670For context, Tom Scott mentioned this video in his newsletter last Monday
Weezer didn't know that they were documenting when the internet was in its prime and was still great.
Or perhaps they did.
@@elgiacomo *Dramatic moment*
Crying for Britney won't be missed bro
@@ryanremerow6620 she was right the whole time tbf
I think maybe they did.
Can we all appreciate the fact weezer made a positive outlook for everyone here who was massively bullied after going viral.
Weezer is good people
Especially Chris Crocker. I thought it was really sweet having Rivers come in and give him a hug.
@@SuperJNG18 Chris is now Cara Cunnigham, she's a transwoman :) Just letting everyone who wasn't aware know.
Bingo. Fantastic video and message .
@@LolaOpheliac Had no idea! Thank you for telling me
"I don't give a hoot" has been my mantra for the past 13 years. Now I'm a doctor and I run my own healthy ecology business. Thanks, weezer. I listen to this song at least once a week to remind me why I did this.
2:49 - The cathartis of Numa Numa Guy singing " EXCUSE MY MANNERS IF I MAKE A SCENE" with such a defiant look in his eye honestly makes me tear up (a lot). Remember, the guy was made fun of a ton, and even got fired from his job after being one of the first people to go viral. Now he's an internet legend and the lyrics fit so well for him.
Likewise Cara Cunningham (then Chris Crocker) saying she "ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like" at 1:00 , as she's always been GNC and now come out as a trans woman
I love when the Afro guy got his moment too where he had a cool fight scene for a couple of seconds. Made me tear up after how much that guy was made fun of
@@edgarroberts8740good song too. I don't care what anyone says he introduced me to it and I danced in my chair too.
Right tho... I teared up 😂
@edgarroberts8740 quite possibly the least shocking trans woman coming out ever
2005 - 2008 was a magical time for the internet
Jake Branthe I know right the world has now gotten bad music DJ. Khalid, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5..... 😭😭😭
Nerd Central Maroon 5’s only good song imo is She Will Be Loved. I don’t know why tf they decided to make shitty music after that.
What a golden age, sad to think kids these days won’t have that experience
I was there too! Before the dawn of rage culture, and the ensuing commodification of validation.

@@danielg.5070 When we all were just a bunch of idiots broadcasting ourselves... and Blip was their biggest enemy...
Oh sweet summer child, you don't know know how long the trolling was been going on for
As someone who watched this when it came out, it makes me happy to know people are still discovering it.
@@dag66 for under 3?
A lot of people point to the Africa cover as Weezer solidifying themselves in the pop-culture ethos, but I think this is where Weezer won over a massive amount of fans and gained a lot of good will on the internet, which has kept them relevant even as a lot of the band members are entering their mid-50s. This is when UA-cam was still a relatively small and connected platform and was more about making personal and offbeat content over drama videos and high budgeted stuff. Mathew Cullen who directed the video completely understood that Rivers lyrics relate to that kind of crowd and melded them together perfectly. It's such a great love letter to that era and it's one of the major factors that has kept them relevant. The feeling of that outsiderness distilled into a catchy pop song and an awesome video.
Weezer made the original UA-cam Rewind before UA-cam was making them
Golden Beach?
I don't give a hoot about what you think.
Unlike UA-cam's this is actually good.
@@whiteymcflightey initial few were pretty good, actually. It all went downhill since like 2013.
Back when youtube had a front page, and one video full of references told you everything you needed to know about the culture
Yes
Back in the day when UA-cam was fun. And no blood ads everywhere
oh damn I missed that memo. too busy livin life in the real fucking world hey. stupid me! I'm 40 now. no kids. single. yay.
robert i dodnt know you liked weezer
oh wow robert
This is truly a time capsule of the internet. I mean imagine people like me who never got to experience this culture, and being able to just taking a look at this. It’s amazing to say the least. Makes me wish I could’ve experience a time like this.
My heart breaks for people who only know the internet as the enslavement device it is today. It was truly glorious in its golden era.
Things sucked just as much as they do now, they just sucked... differently.
Don't worry mate :)
My daughter is 11 and has discovered weezer . She says she likes the messages in the song of being yourself no matter what others say 😊
Can we get Weezer to make a proper UA-cam Rewind for 2018?

Imagine if this song was made today, the memes they would use would probably become outdated a few days after the music video was released.
Memes during the pre-2014 internet often lasted for years
I.e. rage comics
More like before the video came out by the time any music video came out any memes it had when being created would be too old
Nyarthonis some from that era, like the American Choppers “Chair throw argument” meme. Even came back into popularity after years of being obsolete. xD
Unless they used Wojak, or any other meme that has had reiteration upon reiteration.
There's something about that one hug that feels so sincere.
this is SO iconic
youtube rewind weezer did it first
Yeah. After seeing UA-cam started in 2012 with that Gangnam Style crap I was like what about the other 7 years you didn't rewind?
the other years was weezer dude they already had it covered cause they're awesome like dat
Shawn Sankey I know but before I heard the song. I thought WTF where are they?
LOV THE PIC DUDE！！！can't wait for the new game thats coming out!!!
Dat picture tho ABEEEE
we should designate this music video as a time capsule of an era.
Along with a PS2 and a TV that isn't a flat screen
Weezer deserve to be in a time capsule
Yes
@@levi7753 they still made flat crt tvs and occasionally flat screen projection tvs
i’m not gonna lie i’m tearing up remembering all this and more. time really fly’s by
No matter how many times I watch this video it puts a smile on my face. I don't know every single reference they make but I know most of them, and it just touches me how they managed to put a time capsule on such a short-lived period. Things move so fast, technology advances so quickly, trends and pop culture change almost as soon as they're created; but it hasn't always been like this, and this video showcases a time when we were kind of right on the border between eras. Or maybe I'm just overly nostalgic because this video is about viral videos from when I was in middle school, and everything looks different in a preteen's memory, but I don't know. Things don't feel the same now as they did then, and I'm just grateful to Weezer for making this video happen, and to all these people for agreeing to be in it and to play up the things that made them go viral, even in the cases where it was stuff that got them massively bullied.
back when youtube was youtube
nice
and women were women and men liked it

back when “broadcast yourself” felt special
youtube felt special
anyone could make a video and become an overnight sensation
But they really never could. It was the same bullshit from virtually the beginning. It was an illusion that anyone could become famous of a video, in practice not so much.
@@hhll9294 do they even have broadcast yourself as a slogan anymore?
Say what you want about UA-cam then vs now but it’s definitely a much more viable platform for money and success now than it was 10 years ago.

Thank you Weezer.
Watching for over 10 years...awesome still.
Me too. Fell in love with this song over 10 years ago myself.
old
@@ttaammm J LL lolol LL okn LL l
This video was shot *10* years ago. Welcome to being old.
You aren't even old until 10 years is no big deal, lols.
And the opening line is about the lead singer being told hes getting old.
They were ahead of their time. Doing UA-cam Rewind better than UA-cam could years before they did it.
Now I'm sad.
Ah, fuck. I can't believe you've done this.
The way the guitar goes in on those long notes in the chorus is amazing and encapsulates the abundant chaotic energy that used to burst out of me as a kid
FYI in music it's called a "pedal tone" and it's one of my favorite phenomena in popular music. Some bands use this a LOT (Radiohead comes to mind but there are many many others).
Remember guys, this video won a Grammy for best music video in 2009…
Weezer winners, yes yes yes
This is going to be an important historical artifact one day.
(I say “one day” since calling them a historical artifact now would just seem like it’s just calling them old 😅)
But until then, it shall be *a r t !*
I'm old enough to remember most of this happening, but newer generations will need an internet historian, like Whang, to dissect and explain this.
@@psychodrummer1567 Looking back, a lot of these memes were really the first shaky steps of internet culture as it moved from it's infancy in isolated image boards, mailing lists, and personal websites and into an actual shared cultural identity with it's own distinct language, art, and morality.
It already is; I came here to make this comment.
Yep. I think so!
This was like....the music video to send off the way of the old UA-cam. Before the dark times, before the monitization

This video is literally pop culture history.
Poor little 9 year old me didn't realize how iconic this was * sigh *
*I was 13 and didn't knew either :/*.
o my gosh I was thinking the same thing
I knew exactly how iconic this was. Numa Numa, Chocolate Rain, Kelly, Diet Coke and Mentos, hell, they even tried to get Neil Cicierega in on the video. I hope for a tenth anniversary video more than many things in the world.
I was 6 or 5
i was 3
The ending scene with all the internet stars gives me goose bumps everytime.
Never thought a weezer song would go from funny to emotional. Best years of my life really.
A classic !

Man youtube has changed so much in nine years, it's unrecognisable from this
Ten years now, still stands, even more so
IKR, it went from a fun loving site to a clickbait infested greedy company.
@@signal_584
That seems unfair. There's money to be made now so things have commercialized more, which means there's a lot of trash channels and third party corporations posting clickbait. But if you know where to look there are a lot of amazing high quality channels that we used to have to pay money for to see. UA-cam in 2006 was just random video's made by amateurs. It was honest and every now and then a gem would show up, but it's nothing compared to the quality on today's UA-cam.
Thank you Matt Rose for sending me down memory lane with this song.
Watching this in 2022. I miss the old days of youtube
At least Weezer didn’t make a glorified watch mojo list
This actually made me RoFL
watch mojo is the Dane Cook of UA-cam list makers
no more bread left
To be fair they didn’t have a choice. They tried to give us stuff we wanted, and they technically succeeded,
They just did 😂

Oh hey Matt, you've got some fantastic taste in music
Is Matt officially an asthmatic?
matt watson youre my favorite member of weezer
Hi Matt Watson of supermega
This is like opening a time capsule
Woah, I remember watching this absolute masterpiece back in secondary school in IT class. It was to demonstrate key editing techniques (Or something similar.) & the entire class got a kick out of watching it. Sure, it's the pinnacle of internet popular culture/memes at the time, but also a landmark in UA-cam content creator collaborations. Very enjoyable stuff!
Man that hug for Chris Crocker.. he was relentlessly bullied for that video.
It's weird - when this video first came out I remember rolling my eyes because it just felt like it was cashing in on a bunch of viral trends at the time. It wasn't that cool to see Tay Zonday show up because it felt like it had just happened. Leave Britney Alone and K-Fed were annoying videos that I was happy to see finally die out and suddenly here they were, annoying me again.
Watching it now over a decade later, this video hits different. What felt at the time like a lame attempt to be internet-cool is now a nostalgic time capsule that brings me back to better times. I appreciate it in a way that I didn't at the time. Plus it's a pretty great song too.
I think they matched song to subject matter perfectly too. A lot of viral hits and internet culture back then was almost anti-cool. A lot of it was the equivalent of singing in the shower that everyone sees and tells you to keep singing.
Same thing with the Meme Quartet video, though both are just as good as it is corny though...
I was going to post something like this but you said it perfectly.
So you watched it then and now? Sounds like it really annoyed you that you see it, and instead of moving on, you keep watching it.

Seen these guys recently. They did not deserve the emptiness the crowd gave them, was happy to hear them! As beautiful of a sound as ever.
