Matty is so attractive. it's not even his face that I find attractive it's the way he carries himself and how he writes songs and how he plays the guitar that just make him so attractive to me.
Yeah me too, he is not so pretty like others but the way he is, is so damn hot, I can't get it, I hope you know what I mean and my English is not too bad :)
session telemetric Personally I can’t help but loving “A pair of frozen hands to hold, Oh she’s so southern so she feels the cold” being a southerner myself cos It’s so fucking accurate
@@rini9325 the girl is 18 and she wants a mature older guy because everyone else her age is immature. the guy doesn't want to be her "mature" older savior. that's the jist.
Acelya Lancaster It would be ironic if this was a song the band wrote themselves to satirize modern pop music. But this song (and video) were decided upon by their record label to sell completely unironically to consumers who they knew would eat it up. It isn’t irony if you acknowledge that something is stupid and then proceed to do it anyway. It’s just stupid
@@VideoGuy232 Thing is, this song isn't just some "stupid" pop song. It critiques both the way young, idealistic romantic people view relationships versus the way older, more cynical people do. At the same time, the story of the relationship in the song parallels the lead singer's drug addiction. The song is deep on multiple levels, but it also has a catchy melody and very danceable, uptempo rhythm. So yeah, there is some irony there. And the band is comfortable joking about that because they dont take themselves too seriously. Also, their names are on the songwriting credits so there isn't any reason to believe they didn't write the song themselves. I hope that helps you see this song in a different light.
@@philipbeadle6446 Have to agree with Video Guy. Acknowledging something is stupid, and then still doing it but saying "yeah, we know" is not irony. It's just self-awareness. They are not the same thing. No matter what the song is about, it is Pop music. Semi-charmed Life is about meth, but no one would argue, that it is not a pop-song. At no point in this video are they doing any hyperbole to show that it is meant to be ironic. This isn't like One Direction saying "we are not a pop band" and then wearing matching outfits and singing to 11 year old girls while playing with puppies. That would be ironic. They are just making a pop-video with hot chicks and saying "well, we don't really want this" but then doing it anyway. It's dumb. The quality of the song is subjective and everyone likes different stuff, so that has nothing to do with it, but it is definitely pop and definitely not ironic.
What an absolute classic. Seriously nothing better than remembering a song you loved and getting that same tingly feeling listening to it 10 years later.
This song is so nostalgic to me because I remember listening to it at 16-17 and thinking "why can’t she be what he needs? 17 is not that young." now I’m 23 and miss this feeling of confidence lol
i hope you had a good birthday! also don't worry about being 18, people make a bigger deal about it than it is, haha. i'm 20 and i wish i'd let myself enjoy my 18th year more instead of worrying abt turning into an Adult™. you'll be fine!

@@hhhilde_ No its not really bad but I fell in love with their classic sound. That jazzy, snappy guitar is so sublime and raw. I dont have anything against pop at all but ive never been a big fan of a band that sounds one way then just makes a complete 180. They havent yet and I hope they dont. Thats why I stopped listening to linkin park amd maroon 5.
the 1975's discography played a significant roles in my peak teen years (specifically 17, 18 and 19) i was so obsessed with their songs coming back to it now (im 22) it's a bittersweet memory because i wasn't doing well mentally but now ive grown out of that learned and healed so to the teens who're having a hard time just know it does get better !! don't give up !!
“people take shit out of context. It’s like, obviously we have a pop sound. It’s clear. But that’s sort of the joke, isn’t it? I don’t know. Americans have a weird sense of humor” - Matty Healy
I'm 50 years old and really don't have any connection to, or love of, any music that came out post 1990 (a few exceptions)...but this is an incrediblly well crafted song. It just sticks with me. Kudos to my daughter for playing it in the car against my wishes.
@@EminentKnight There is a lot of fun stuff in the past, sir. I spend a lot more of my free time planning my future. I guess it depends on what you consider much.
the oddest thing about matty healy's accent is that his talking accent is nowhere near as strong as his singing accent, like he sounds fairly normal and understandable but as soon as he sings he's almost incomprehensible. this is coming from a brit too, like literally even i don't know where the thickness of the accent comes from
Is it just me that doesn't have a specific genre of music they love? I go from kpop, to screamo to stuff like Ariana grande, Indie and now this.. I love it! :D
Matty breaks character at 2:44 to the give the model direction on what she should do and they kept the cameras rolling and ended up keeping that little clip in the finished vid… I dunno why but thats my FAVORITE part of the whole entire video.
+alldud13 for me i enjoy their music very much I love their styles of music they're different they aren't like any bands right now I suggest you go listen to one direction or 5sos cause they are less "boring"
I am Japanese and I love this song. I first heard this song when I was in junior high school. I was watching "MTV" on my TV at home and it came on. I didn't know what it meant at the time, but now I do! Very good lyrics:-)
I remember introducing the 1975 to my friends years and years ago. So crazy that I still absolutely love them and they have become so much more famous and amazing.
Johnny Natrium it's all because of the looks -.- a friend of mine sent me this video saying that i will like this band because "they were like those 80's bands i heard" and i looked at the guys and said to me "yeah... they look like a post-punk band" then the song started and i couldn't believe how pop it sounds x__x it's very misleading
1) No one seems to understand the irony at the beginning. 2) They ARE influenced by pop music and are part pop. DEAL WITH IT. There's nothing wrong with it. You'll live. 3) Age doesn't really matter in music. If it sounds good and someone likes it, it doesn't matter how old they are. 4) Everyone is blowing this way out of proportion. Just enjoy the music if you do, and move on if you don't. Sorted.
If you're a drummer I'm hoping you're hearing the brilliance of the drum performance on this track. How dancy the hi-hats are doing so much without taking up any actual space in the mix more than normal.
I've read a comment that said sth like in the last day of being 17, she would listen to this song as a farewell to her teenage years. I thought it was so cool and well ..here I am, enjoying my favourite song and my last day of being a" seventeen and a half year old" ❤
Honestly, I love this song. Not my usual style but I can't deny their sheer talent and the undeniable fact that this is a tune. Also, someone should send this song to Tyga.
I feel like the irony of this music video is something people really didn't catch onto at the time it was released. It was always supposed to be satirical to some degree
cheerios4canaries That’s cause you’re a girl. Ask any straight guy if they’d prefer their girl with short hair, none would honestly say yes. We like super feminine women.
@@watermelontreeofknowledge8682 that's kinda true if your a straight female your intrigued by a gay looking girl / boy😂 very hot I'd say so Nevertheless if I was a man short hair is still 👌🏼 if I'm not gay by that time So many questions if your miraculously the opposite gender would you be straight or "gay"
This had to have been some kind of foreshadowing to "I love it when you sleep for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it" I mean if you compare this song and "The Sound" they sound SO similar

Just girls, they're just girls...
This is such a smart but simple video. The girls are portrayed as following the band's actions almost as if they're idolising them and in some scenes it seems as when the band is sort of rejecting the girls, they're too captivated by the band to even care. This statement can be backed up by the lyrics aaaaaand idk why I'm explaining this i don't get paid for this
Love how this video kinda gives you the early start/look for their 2nd album with all the pink colour and neon signs. The 1975 i see what you did there. Clever boys
How exactly is it genius? I don't like the 1975 much but like a couple of their songs but this isn't one of them. I don't see how matty should generalise 17 year old girls like that
John Joe Fitzpatrick I agree, the lyrics are sketch asf and he’s a grown ass man. This is my first time listening to it in like 2 years, and my first thought was “oh so he likes teenagers?”
the whole idea about making a video about not making a video and just taking the piss out of themselves is just brilliant! love the concept about the 80's pop culture, love the absolutely uinterested faces, love Matthew Healy's description of it on theis band page, just love it all! seeing them this saturday in norway! cannot wait!
It’s been years and I’ve just come back to this song at 23! 😭 Me and my coworker crushed on each other but it was very innocent, never overstepped boundaries as he was 27 and I had just turned 18. He played this repeatedly on my last day. Memories!🥺❤️
Y’all teenage years, even in the age of COVID, will be so small in the grand scheme of life. It’ll be but a blip. Thank whomever you pray to at night that time goes on and things get better. In the moment it’s sucks missing out on your teenage years and graduation. But nothing trumps the growth and experiences life brings you later on. I’m sorry y’all a year hasn’t been the greatest, but it’ll get better.

Wait!?I thought it was "despite your face despite your nose" ITS BEEN LIKE 6 YEARS I cry so hard I'm embarrassed wait how does that make sense bit my face to anger my nose huhhh
the whole point of this video is to show how they didn't want to make a cliche video! they're showing the cliches that everyone else conforms to and showing they don't care about them, and are happy to just take the piss out of it! i love it

Seeing as how everyone has an issue with this SONG'S genre: It's called INDIE POP. Look it up, you might realize there's other bands you already like in that genre as well. Now most of their other songs are not in this genre, but this song is.
Listen lads, even 9 years later after I heard this tune it's still relevant, I'm 25 now, and honestly, they got our culture so right. And tbf that haircut is more relevant these days than it was then. Indie75, the best of thier art.
I played Chocolate to one of my cousins when she was about 4 and as soon as it kicked in she danced her head off to it and kept asking me to play it over and over again haha
this was the first song I heard from The 1975 and let me tell you i was SO confused with this mv. I saw these guys, all dressed in black, with boots and leather jackets, Matty with his mohawk and the black and white intro and them saying "we're not a pop band" and I was like "where tf have I gotten myself into, yeah you definitely don't look like it babe", and they proceed to play the most poppy song i've ever heard. I love them. Girls will always hold a special place in my heart. Now, I'm seeing them live in July
Love this song it was nicely put it is the other way a round I was looking for boys and then I met my husband but it didn't work out I have been separated from him for ,19,,years 20 this June so be careful what you wish for
Matty is so attractive. it's not even his face that I find attractive it's the way he carries himself and how he writes songs and how he plays the guitar that just make him so attractive to me.
and how!
Yeah me too, he is not so pretty like others but the way he is, is so damn hot, I can't get it, I hope you know what I mean and my English is not too bad :)
yaaasss
Ghostie Tostie haha yeah
I would love to be the one kissing his cheek
it honestly gives me a lot of feels when matty puts his arm around that girl
omg same

@Maria Valdes actually yeah it is
Ok so first of all, u don’t get sarcasm and irony, and secondly, tootime is like the only pop song from the new record
Couple songs (ugh, Tootime, etc) do not define the 1975 as pop when they have literally dozens of non pop songs.
Who Are You? It’s literally a joke chill why’re you so triggered
What I love about this band is that with every new song I discover I have no idea of what style it's gonna be. So versatile.

THE 1975 + THE BLUE COLLARS = Multiple Music Orgasms
love love love these bands. so unique xxx
I think i just fell in love
love these bands, hope they get the recognition they deserve. real music is so much better
Class bands, nice taste
good choice elle xx
0:28 that neck tilt has to be the sassiest thing I've seen today
the oddest thing about matty healy's accent is that his talking accent is nowhere near as strong as his singing accent, like he sounds fairly normal and understandable but as soon as he sings he's almost incomprehensible. this is coming from a brit too, like literally even i don't know where the thickness of the accent comes from
i think he just exaggerates it a bit, more of a style choice.
accent = Manchester best city in the world
lucas m i know but either way they are northern accents and matty's doesnt sound like that.
*****
I think he lived down south for a bit and then moved up north, hence the strange accent
Yeah but it adds style, expression to his voice. Much better than signing with a faux American accent as many Brit bands do.
This was the first 1975 song I heard, in 2015. Hooked ever since. Great to see how much they've grown.
eyes briGHT, UPTIGHT - TESCOS!
...can't unhear
WOW THANKS NOW I CANT GET IT OUT MY HEAD
" i spy a tight-chest ghost " thats what i heard when i first listened to the song HAHAHAHAH
I CANT UNHEAR IT NOW

Is it just me that doesn't have a specific genre of music they love? I go from kpop, to screamo to stuff like Ariana grande, Indie and now this.. I love it! :D
+Nicola Allison hahaha. You ain't the only one ^^

Yay! More people like me!!!
samee
Same! I go from FOB/Paramore/P!ATD to TØP to Melanie Martinez to Lorde to The 1975 to Vanessa Carlton... wow, what a range...
totally in love with the guitar sequence in the beginning there
Matty breaks character at 2:44 to the give the model direction on what she should do and they kept the cameras rolling and ended up keeping that little clip in the finished vid… I dunno why but thats my FAVORITE part of the whole entire video.
almost 3 years since this song came out and this is still my jam

doesnt feel like that long at all

"were not a pop band"
has the most pop sounding intro ive ever heard
they're making fun of typical pop bands
Its good to make fun of pop songs becoz all pop songs in this generation SUCKS!!!!!
I've listened to 3 of their songs it sounds all like Pop to me their music is kinda boring can you actually enjoy this?
+alldud13 Try Milk, Facedown, Anobrain or any of their ep's
+alldud13 for me i enjoy their music very much
I love their styles of music they're different they aren't like any bands right now
I suggest you go listen to one direction or 5sos cause they are less "boring"
I am Japanese and I love this song. I first heard this song when I was in junior high school. I was watching "MTV" on my TV at home and it came on. I didn't know what it meant at the time, but now I do! Very good lyrics:-)
2013: we're not a pop band.
2020: we regret being not a pop band so here we are now
🤭🤭👍
Y do they said that?? Didn't they want a popband??
@@kimielemadridejos9090 they are a pop band,it was a sarcastic statement
The sarcasm has been lost here..
Wooshh, you hear that? That's the sound of the joke going over your head.
I love the way he says girls.....

His accent is adorable

This video is fantastically addictive. I've watched it like seven times now, I reckon.
I remember introducing the 1975 to my friends years and years ago. So crazy that I still absolutely love them and they have become so much more famous and amazing.
Their sound definitely sounds like 80's pop. Which is ok because that's that good kind. They're a great band 10/10
It sounds nothing like '80s pop and I have no idea where you clueless people get that idea from.
Johnny Natrium it's all because of the looks -.- a friend of mine sent me this video saying that i will like this band because "they were like those 80's bands i heard" and i looked at the guys and said to me "yeah... they look like a post-punk band" then the song started and i couldn't believe how pop it sounds x__x
it's very misleading
But see I think it's great! They sound awesome!
well yeah, pop doesn't mean bad by any means, it just was misleading
****1,975/10
1) No one seems to understand the irony at the beginning.
2) They ARE influenced by pop music and are part pop. DEAL WITH IT. There's nothing wrong with it. You'll live.
3) Age doesn't really matter in music. If it sounds good and someone likes it, it doesn't matter how old they are.
4) Everyone is blowing this way out of proportion. Just enjoy the music if you do, and move on if you don't.
Sorted.
Bless you. Because all these comments saying they're a pop band. These people just don't get it
Thank god for you!!
bless
I think the video is hilarious! Matts face through the whole thing makes me laugh so much :')
erm, there not pop at all they just have a popish vibe they are indie as hell I love them
Everyone's talking about the short haired girl but honestly the one in the trunk's got me drooling 🤤
S a m e
That's Raina! She almost won a season of America's Next Top Model!
She got me salivating sapphicly
Jaclyn of Jaclynia lmaooo BIG MOOD THO
Yeah but who is the girl grillin the hotdogs tho
If you're a drummer I'm hoping you're hearing the brilliance of the drum performance on this track. How dancy the hi-hats are doing so much without taking up any actual space in the mix more than normal.
George is fuckin awesome 👍
I've read a comment that said sth like in the last day of being 17, she would listen to this song as a farewell to her teenage years. I thought it was so cool and well ..here I am, enjoying my favourite song and my last day of being a" seventeen and a half year old" ❤
It's on the lyrics video, just read it myself.
Pretty much top comment.
@jackie inspiring! 💞💞
yesss i did this too!
Turning 18 soon might do this

Hahaha. They finally made black&white video
Im new to the 1975 fandom.
What is the nostaglia?
Honestly, I love this song. Not my usual style but I can't deny their sheer talent and the undeniable fact that this is a tune. Also, someone should send this song to Tyga.

+realliferyder cuz he's dating kylie jenner

The first lyric to me sounds like “ I like your face despite your nose”
Valeria Gonzalez I thought it was "bite your face to spite your nose"
TokyoBlue it is
THATS WHAT I’VE BEEN HEARING FOR YEARS 😂😂
omg. same XD
That’s what it sounds like because that’s what it is
“we’re not a pop band”
2019 Matty: “we’re a pop band not a rock band”
i OnLy CaLlEd HeR oNe TiMe
Have you heard of "People"?
I feel like the irony of this music video is something people really didn't catch onto at the time it was released. It was always supposed to be satirical to some degree
Wym lmao I’m confused

literally what i thought the lyrics were until i watched phoebe bridger's cover 💀💀
i cant unhear it now
Yes, thank you for noting that! This song is kinda mysoginistic, no?
The short haired brunette is gorgeous
cheerios4canaries That’s cause you’re a girl. Ask any straight guy if they’d prefer their girl with short hair, none would honestly say yes. We like super feminine women.
@@watermelontreeofknowledge8682 what is even the point of your comment? Let lesbians be happy
@@watermelontreeofknowledge8682 that's kinda true if your a straight female your intrigued by a gay looking girl / boy😂 very hot I'd say so
Nevertheless if I was a man short hair is still 👌🏼 if I'm not gay by that time
So many questions if your miraculously the opposite gender would you be straight or "gay"
Whoa it's like people in general have preferences?
I'm a dude and I prefer women with shorter hair, I think it looks hella dope.
The short brunette’s name is Matty
This had to have been some kind of foreshadowing to "I love it when you sleep for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it" I mean if you compare this song and "The Sound" they sound SO similar
+sweetlife6299 And who knows, it may not have been planned, but the similarities man, THE SIMILARITIES
I've been thinking about that for a while haha!
+sweetlife6299 maybe they were just hella lazy and re-used some things from this song in the other one xD
+Raigaara LMAO why didn't I think of that!
+Raigaara or maybe it's a reoccurring theme 😮
"We're not a pop band" 😂🤣😂😂
It doesn't get any more pop than these lads, AND I LOVE IT!!!
They're basically one direction with guitars and slightly better lyrics. Nothing wrong with pop music!
Totally has an 80s feeling, love this so much
Woah.. this band is just one of those bands that help me restore my faith in humanity's taste in music once again... :-)

+fem ange true but I copied from a lyrics site
no it actually is 'bite your face to spite your nose' it's a common phrase about overreaction
Alex Horler WHAT
fun story right
Fell in love with this song the moment I heard it. There is an 1980s feel to it. I should know as I was a teenager back then. Great band overall.
This is such a smart but simple video. The girls are portrayed as following the band's actions almost as if they're idolising them and in some scenes it seems as when the band is sort of rejecting the girls, they're too captivated by the band to even care. This statement can be backed up by the lyrics aaaaaand idk why I'm explaining this i don't get paid for this
thank you tho
I’m getting you to do my English exams for me
I'm attracted to literally everyone in this video, especially both versions of Matty, omg
and when he laughs at the end **breathes heavily**
Liya A. saaaaammmmme

when the girl comes in while george is drumming, his facial expression is literally me.
Love how this video kinda gives you the early start/look for their 2nd album with all the pink colour and neon signs.
The 1975 i see what you did there. Clever boys
This song and the lyrics is so fucking genius, long time since I've been this into a song.
try Dirty green vinyl.
I know this is SO good I just can't get it out of my head
How exactly is it genius? I don't like the 1975 much but like a couple of their songs but this isn't one of them. I don't see how matty should generalise 17 year old girls like that
Try fucking and de will talkヽ(^。^)丿
John Joe Fitzpatrick I agree, the lyrics are sketch asf and he’s a grown ass man. This is my first time listening to it in like 2 years, and my first thought was “oh so he likes teenagers?”
Literally just turned 17 and discovered this song. Gonna vibe to this the whole year
haha that was me last yr but with 'carmen' by lana and now i'm vibing to 'sidewalks' by the weeknd
@Brook 31 ur closer now to 20.
I love how George kept a straight face when the girl sat on him 😂😂
How did he not get a boner?
He was busy😭
It's so hot though I'm not gonna lie
@@lisalegato0109 Maybe because guys have preferences and types, too. And aren't always thinking sexually.
@@calliecocritter9247 i love this reply.
i think entire album is the best thing that has ever happened to music ever
has an 80's sound, I love it.
the whole idea about making a video about not making a video and just taking the piss out of themselves is just brilliant! love the concept about the 80's pop culture, love the absolutely uinterested faces, love Matthew Healy's description of it on theis band page, just love it all! seeing them this saturday in norway! cannot wait!
How was the show?
10/10 most aesthetically pleasing video
It’s been years and I’ve just come back to this song at 23! 😭 Me and my coworker crushed on each other but it was very innocent, never overstepped boundaries as he was 27 and I had just turned 18. He played this repeatedly on my last day. Memories!🥺❤️
it's been three years since i found the 1975 and now i'm finally 17 wow i can finally relate
well I'm 17 and will Never be able to break hearts because I can't go out the whole year ....
I feel you. By the time my year of being 17 is over, lockdown will be over
Hahahhaha Lol i feel ya
Better than 18
Y’all teenage years, even in the age of COVID, will be so small in the grand scheme of life. It’ll be but a blip. Thank whomever you pray to at night that time goes on and things get better. In the moment it’s sucks missing out on your teenage years and graduation. But nothing trumps the growth and experiences life brings you later on. I’m sorry y’all a year hasn’t been the greatest, but it’ll get better.

Now I want to see the Cockney lyrics
Love these guys so much and I’m a 54 year old chick with a 21 year old daughter who loves them too. We rock out to you regularly!
"We're not a pop band".. until the song starts
I was going to say: "Ummm. Have you heard your song "Chocolate"?"
theres this thing called irony
Km CH lol
Pretty shit .....all that birds in g strings.....sitting on the drummer....very bad taste and a crap song
#sarcasm
Just discovered these guys - they're brilliant!
***** It's so good!!!
Seeing as how everyone has an issue with this SONG'S genre: It's called INDIE POP. Look it up, you might realize there's other bands you already like in that genre as well. Now most of their other songs are not in this genre, but this song is.
Listen lads, even 9 years later after I heard this tune it's still relevant, I'm 25 now, and honestly, they got our culture so right. And tbf that haircut is more relevant these days than it was then. Indie75, the best of thier art.
Everyone should dance around the house with their children to the 1975
I played Chocolate to one of my cousins when she was about 4 and as soon as it kicked in she danced her head off to it and kept asking me to play it over and over again haha
Integrated Holistic Therapy
done.
Did that with my one year old daughter this morning to this song and she loved it.
love 1975! did anyone notice the intro of this song is very similar to 1D's change your ticket?
or rather, change your ticket is similar to this. bc this came first.
Yes I thought that.... Maybe cuz 1d copies all songs?? Idk
Maika Edberg okay, that's not true though tbh
Brenna Thompson sorry that was an over exaggeration. Some of their songs sound similar to others. Sorry
Maika Edberg
it's cool
In the beginning of the video where they were strumming the guitars close up, kinda reminds me of vampire weekend doesn't it?
this was the first song I heard from The 1975 and let me tell you i was SO confused with this mv. I saw these guys, all dressed in black, with boots and leather jackets, Matty with his mohawk and the black and white intro and them saying "we're not a pop band" and I was like "where tf have I gotten myself into, yeah you definitely don't look like it babe", and they proceed to play the most poppy song i've ever heard. I love them. Girls will always hold a special place in my heart. Now, I'm seeing them live in July
This one of those songs I can listen to on repeat for hours, and never get tired of it
I miss this 1975
Same
Same😥
😿
same I like their older music better
Who says it won't happen again?(;
damn the way he says "just" and "girls"
+Joana M Right
+Joana M jast gals
breaking howts
how he says "typical" and"fucking"
how he says everything.. haha
Yep. The iconic “it needs to be black and white for a start”
Every time Matt says 'God help me now' I think of myself at school.
I just spat out my tea
That's unbelievably British Lilli.
I audibly laughed
this song makes me so happy in a strange way, i think is the beat. i'm starting to love this band
Love this song it was nicely put it is the other way a round I was looking for boys and then I met my husband but it didn't work out I have been separated from him for ,19,,years 20 this June so be careful what you wish for
