About Blur:
About Blur: Blur were formed in 1989 by Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree and signed with Food/EMI the same year. Announcing their arrival with debut album Leisure in 1991, Blur continued to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with second release Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). Seven successive UK #1 albums followed - with Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995) helping to propel the band to mass popularity in the UK and beyond. The eponymous Blur was released in 1997 and seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three-piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon.
Twenty one years after the release of their debut album, 2012 saw Blur 21: The Box, the band's body of work compiled and gathered together into one box. Their most recent release as a four-piece, is the critically acclaimed chart-topping album The Ballad of Darren (2023).

I love how everyone is so calm except for Damon jumping around like a maniac.
Lol
Drummer isn’t
Yea, that's his charm.

Blur- Song 1
xD verdad
JAJAJAJAJAJ que genialidad.
Nina babasonica jajajajajaja la verdad que si
Y beetlebum es song 3? :,v
well you could call this song 1 becuase this song and the drowners by suede "started" brit-pop
Their style is just too fabulous.

Yo we're a beginning band called Stookvogel. If you like bands like Blur maybe you'll enjoy some of our music too.
Truee

@@Stookvogel no no NOOOO!
I love how this is the early 90s but totally fits into the indie scene now, this is awesome.
lol uh now literally pretends to be us it is called culture vulturism
it's because indie genre could not invent anything new since
Blur were and kinda still is ahead of its time
@@user-mm3sd3uh6yWhat are you talking about? This song is a revival of what The Beatles and The Kinks did. Nothing new.
well, song2 for example is definitely not recycled beatles or kinks, it has modern alternative sound@@zackzallie8735
Jesus, Damon could be having a seizure and people would just be like "oh that's just him"
-sunmask- "oh how cute. He's convulsing on the ground. Good ol' Damon!"
* causally has a seizure *
While he's flailing around on the ground he struggles to sing "a farvoured image of another world is nothing in particular, now"
basically what happened to ian curtis
Ian curtis style
aww look at baby damon
Gene Gallagher got his looks
I can just imagine the tantrums

I love how low-key unhinged this music video is. One of my favorite things about Blur's early work is their chaotic energy that sometimes bordered on unhinged. They were never afraid of being super weird.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Blur
This video is not edited in any way, Damon really moves that crazy.
True. Very true
I can't stop repeating this song again and again

Just watching Damon flail around is enough for me
CardboardButtons watching Damon breathe is enough for me
Damon existing is enough for me
this band is so fricking cool, can't express how much I love them
yes
frr
Not As Cool As Blacklace Bradford's Finest
The line between Damon and 2D is thinner than we think.
I don’t reckon 2D has the same amount of lunatic-ness and confidence as Damon to be honest
Sometimes I think Damon would be happier if he were as dense as 2D, he wouldn't overthink things so much...
2D is a 2D Damon, ie drawn. 🍄
Oh god, one things I love of Blur (apart of all) It's the bass line. ALWAYS it's amazing. Alex, Graham, Dave and Damon are practically genius
he's so pretty
Which one?
Riah Reviews we all know who we are talking about
noodle z but Alex ?
@@riahlexington lmao Alex was fucking hot tho
Not more than my puppy
this song makes me want to dance
well i say dance
more flail around just like Damon
damon albarn will always be one of the sexiest guy ever and i dont think it is negotiable
No one will negotiate at all
damon albarn is quite possibly the cutest/handsomest man alive, When he was young he was cute and now he's super handsome uuGGGHHHH
agreed
Alex James?
A fervoured image of another world
Is nothing in particular now
And imitation comes naturally
But I never really stopped to think how
And everyone is a clever clone
A chrome covered clone am I
So in the absence of a way of life
Just repeat this again and again... and again
[Chorus]
Hey hey come out tonight
Hey hey come out tonight
Popscene
Alright
[Verse 2]
I'm leaving town to run away
Run into your twisted arms
No queues and there's no panic there
Just dangle your feet in the grass
My lack of natural lustre now
Seems to be losing me friends
So in the absence of a way of life
I'll repeat this again and again...and again
Hey hey come out tonight
Hey hey come out tonight
Popscene!
Hey, hey come out tonight
Hey, hey come out tonight
Popscene, all right
Hey, hey come out tonight
Hey, hey come out tonight
Popscene!
says clone
i love how he says "my LACK OF NATURAL"
I was just listening this part when i saw the comment lol
Me too
True I've never heard his vocals go so angsty till now, that's why I like it.
Please god no why did young Damon have to be so hot oOf I should NOT be crushing on him.
Same bruh
It's a rite of passage honestly
yesssssss
omfg how did I find my self in the same stupid boat as yall in gods good 2024?? hes just 😭😭😭😭@sweetbananas6077
I love how they took inspiration of the classic rock and mix it with some pop elements
Still one of my favourite Blur songs. I’ve always loved the video as well.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Blur
The song, the style, the band were all so awesome and new at that time that most people didn't understand it and it never became a hit, despite of the musical greatness and originality. It took them two years to realise the brilliance and importance of Blur.
I remember not liking this song and now: POPSCENE!!!!
klara lasta That happened to me xD
I thought it was very repetitive and I still do but I love it!
You were right the first time
@@redhippopotamus9144 they have a lot of better songs in MLIR
Same!
when he said "everyone is a clever clone" my rebel teen's ass felt that.
"A chrome-covered clone am I"...his external appearance is merely a reflection of everything around him.
Why has this all of a sudden been recommended?
because blur is the best
Same tho
idk but i'm not complaining, this song slaps
Maybe UA-cam is monitoring nostalgia
BECAUSE BLYUR IS A GOOOD VBAND DBDBF
I'll repeat this again and again...
+Jianing Zhang ...AND AGAAAAINNN
HEY HEY COME OUT TONIGHT
I discovered this band late..I could I've been into this band from the start of their career.. Damon is only 3 years older then me. His birthday is only 2 days after mine 3/23/1968.. He was born the year of the "Gorilla" the same with his friend that started the "Gorillaz" I'm a die hard fan of Blur, Gorillaz and Damon Albarns solo album.. Also I love his other project band "The Good, Bad and the queen"
Graham, Dave and Alex: *just casually playing*
Damon: GUess WhaT? SEiZure timE
This was the first Blur song I ever heard, and for the past twenty something years I’ve been a huge fan. Some things never change, and my appreciation for this amazing group that really introduced me to music as a child is one of them.
It's incredible to me that they are wearing exactly what a softboy would wear nowdays
Fashion trends are circular.

This is one of the best music videos out there. DAMON YOU ARE SO FUCKING COOL
I tried to play this on bass, Jeez never have I felt as bad for Alex and he still bops wth!!
Abi does Stuff samee
My favorite ever blur mv. The style and directing is perfect and it captures a particular sort of mood
1:21 Hear that scream. Damon should to create a rock/punk band.
He could he can do any genre pretty much
Did anybody notice the room is the same from Song 2?
ᗪAMoήrỮ ➈➆
Is it? Is this confirmed?
How would you notice it is the same room? They’ve changed the wallpaper and floor if this actually is the case....
The wallpaper and carpet designs aren't the exact same.
Wait really? Looks quite different to me tbh.
I dont think thats right
Similar
Damon is so coooooool
the way he says "hey hey" is so british I can't-
My daily dose of Damon jumping.
He is so cute!! I love how he isn't all serious and he likes having fun with his music. That's what I love about him. (and his good looks of course) :D
He’s so little 😭 and yet he’s the exact same guy today 😂 gotta love Damon’s energy
In the absence of a way of life I can repeat this song again and again, and again
one of the most underrated bass riffs ever made
Blur's comments:Daemon is so hot!!!!
Gorillaz comments:I really like the lyrics!
I really don’t know why he was hiding his face behind a cartoonfigure.
He was the Blur face and he wanted Gorillaz to be What he'd like to do with Blur
I love this observation.
Maybe that's why Damon wanted to hide his face. He wants people to appreaciate his lyrics for once.
Gorillaz: 2d is precious bean and mudoc is pickle and THE BAFF
So people would appreciate the music, not where it's actually coming from
*2d is hot
just imagining the music video director telling damon the instructions "Okay I just want you to flail around for a while, we'll edit it it'll look good."
they were oddly right about it looking good
Knowing Damon it was probably the opposite.. "i'm going to flail about and do my thing, you figure it out" xD
BEST INTRO EVER WITH DAMON SHAKING HIS HEAD TOO MUCH
Everytime I scroll throught the comments in blur vids is always girls saying Damon is hot af and guys saying they feel gay because they thin Damon is hot af, agree them.
and no one talking about the song
Absolute best Blur single. Bad timing of no fault of anyone but fate.
I bet that as a kid Damon was...a lot
The anger... The fuel... The the rage against individuality....THIS IS POPSCENE!!!
my fave Blur tune !!! Makes me bounce off the walls!
His hair looks particularly fluffy
One of the most underrated songs of the 90's
Blur said they never liked grunge and that Song 2 was making fun of it, but I mean look at the way they're dressed in this (especially Damon) and the lyrics! This song to me sounds pretty grunge , and it's from their earlier years.
This is definitely not grunge, you must be twelve or something, people dressed like that in the 90s, plus the lyrics are about Damon's life experiences I guess and we're talking about the silliness and disillusionment of the "popscene". So a more moody vibe was required, it's not just a Barr chord repeated over and over again and some bullshit lyrics like nirvana OT some crap. It's blur at their best.
+Fokken Prawn Firstly I'm not 12, secondly Blur are my favourite band, thirdly yes I know how people dressed like that in the 90s (the majority of the music I listen to is from the 90s and I grew up watching 90s tv) and finally I also listen to a lot of grunge music so I know what the sound and lyrics are like. That's why I said it sounds more like a grunge song (even though it isn't) especially the lyrics, even Nirvana's lyrics are not just nonsense they do have meaning as with popscene.
+Micha〈3 Popscenes lyrics do have meaning which I why I'm questioning how it is similar to grunge, "rape me my friend, rape me again", " whatever the fuck he says in teen spirit cos no one fucking knows". Popscenes lyrics are comments on society that make people think and evaluate their own beliefs, Nirvana is the deluded thoughts of a druggie, also I hate nirvana and grunge. So the likelihood I agree with your point is 0.
+Fokken Prawn I literally just stated that popscene lyrics do have meaning in my last comment, but I said some of Nirvana's songs do too. You don't have to explain the meaning of the song to me because I already know, as I already said they're my favourite band of course I would know the meaning of it, it's quite obvious actually. Anyway if you listened to typical grunge bands and get into them like I did you would know they have meaning. Not saying you should listen to Nirvana, the only reason you don't agree with me is because you don't listen to both genres, if you did then you would be able to see the correlation that I'm trying to explain.
+Fokken Prawn the only people who agree with me on the fact that grunge is shite are skinheads. i need to go out and find s'more mod friends haha.
If only guys still dressed like this
damon is wearing the ugliest sweater i've ever seen

It’s so satisfying Alex and Damon’s moves at 1:36
Damon is so perfect
haha that mic drop at the end....
Goddd I was SO in love with him through high-school.
I am in high school and so in love with him 😭
@@girldevotee420 that makes me sooo happy!
I've wasted 13 years of my life not knowing this masterpiece existed
same
Never is too late
Same, and I had a dvd with this music video, it’s weird
Be happy you found it 4 years earlier than me💀💀
Same here 😂
I'm literally addicted to this video
Same
Never would've guessed this video existed in 4K! Good restoration 👍
from what i can tell, it was shot on film, which means it could be remastered even beyond this
Editor must've had a blast doing this.
Damon in the 90s is where i got my love for sweaters
funny but our generation already wore them as children
Damon's looks like a kpop singer.I don't even like kpop,but i love Damon
uh. yeah, because kpoop culture vultures ALL our cultures styles.
definitely the best blur song ever....and I highly rate them in general...come back blur please!!!!!
.......And then britpop was born!
Mark Bastin, not really, I think Britpop was born with Modern Life Is Rubbish and then perfected by Parklife and Definitely Maybe
And then died with the great escape
Edemn Hdz I’d say that Be here now killed it
The Drowners pipped this by a few months, surely?
James PW this was on modern life is rubbish
This is the song that soundtracked my first bender in pubs and clubs in town when I was seventeen..
This song screams energy
wow damon y su buen gusto en suéteres es VIDA
Ese se lo regalaron sus abuelos y el lo odiaba hasta que se lo puso jajaj
This song and Blur itself, deserve more recogniton.
Damon looks so adorable when he jumps :3
I'm new with Blur and I am already sure most of the music videos is just screentime of Damon's face and Damon jumping around.
underrated! can't believe it didn't chart very well when it came out
Why is no one talking about how Damon literally looks like a kpop singer in the thumbnail-
But bro I dont even like kpop so how should how what one looks like?
young Damon had that sweet and innocent look most kpop boys want to emulate nowadays lol
2mins and 6 seconds in - graham 👏👏👏
This music vid makes me feel dizzy and I’m absolutely living for it
No group makes songs like this anymore now
They didn't make them like this, either, in March 1992 when this came out; it got bagged on by critics and barely sold anything. Ahead of its time.
@@SWalkerTTU
It wasn't really ahead of it's time. It was influenced by 80's bands like The Pixies. Blur were just looking for their identity in the early 90's. There's No Other Way was a copy of the Manchester sound.
@@lucasm3879 thats the thing, they did find their identity, and quite quickly
Theres No Other Way is a Blur song and, well, sounds like one, it for sure is madchester-style, but if a person would have a first listen to that, he/she wouldnt really think that Stone Roses or whoever wrote it
Blur really is unique and sounds as fresh as that bunch of pretty boys are still relevant and have teenage girls drooling over them after all these years
@@mishanya9495
To me there were better bands in the 90's, Blur always case across as a very smug, middle class band pretending they weren't as posh as they really were, with the whole mockney Parklife thing.
You just said it yourself, they had teenage girls as their number one fan demographic.
I know they did some good songs but they really weren't that great imo.
Even when Damon started Gorillaz, yes he was doing something more interesting, but the likes of Massive Attack were doing it 10 years earlier, when Blur were starting out.
@@lucasm3879 yeah i sorta agree with you
While they were stylish and unique in a way, vast majority(if not 98-99%) either liked blur(only their hits, and i fall into that category) or loved blur as a bunch of pretty boys, a few really loved their music, because, well, the discography is not that crazy good tbh
This song goes metal at 2.0 speed lmao
Hahahaa true! Ska at 1.5... Interesting how the speed changes the whole thing!
This video is fucking hilarious at 2.0 speed!
LOL XDD
Shoegaze at 0.5x
hahahaha
As a person with ADHD, I relate to this Damon so much. (not saying he has it, I don’t know). He’s my spirit animal :)
This is an epic 4k restoration and hey hey come out tonight!!!
I remember buying Popscene as a single on CD. Memories..
Well, it's time to comment again that I still have a crush on young Damon Albarn
This is just pure vibes plus the regular damon spasm, 10/10, would vibe again
Wow...what a jamming session this was. The guys are loving it.....and so am I! Cannot get enough!!
I could cry bc of how much I love damon. I wish he was mine :/

@@angrygrouse4989 that is beyond science
i just discovered this song today. I'm so happy😭
The coolest part of “Britpop” we just called it new wave, was when it was underground 92-94, just likeminded people into 60s music style, Punk, Ska, Mod, as soon as what’s the story ? Came out we’d ditched it, when every person you saw had an Oasis t shirt on people who weren’t even into music that much it was gone , like anything mainstream the product gets watered down and quality dwindles , some great nights out before though listening to the stones, the pistols , T Rex, Small faces, Nazz, the Action, the pretty things , some other great bands aswell like these animal men , the Real people, the Clique, the Aardvarks , 5.30

generally Damon having a seizure during this
God I love this song.
Given that we've seen a lot of cancelled albums finally released recently, perhaps the lost 1992 album will finally be released. It would be ideal for new fans who can't get this song without paying bucketloads for it, as well as Never Clever.
