Nope it's just the,80s footage.I'm 54 and my 17 yr daughter said it's creepy.She said shopping centres from my time looked empty.As if there was a previous nuke war that eerie feel.
Idk about the Zoomer and Alpha kids, but was alive long enough in the early 90s to have some of that 80s aesthetic seem almost a familiar, so you get that wierd liminal space thing going on. Then there is the nearly random script and guy behind them and it just feels like an unsettling dream.
I've watched this three times to just like understand what is going on and every time I watch it it almost feels like that guy's mouth in the background gets wider and wider and it's very unsettling
To everyone wondering what this is about, This is a college video project that was done in the 80s and if you watch the full video its talking about how people need to be more aware of the dangers around us that we don't even look for or see, for instance the main character is being followed by a killer and neither her or her friend are noticing the signs cause of all the distractions in life. Also note: Yes I am aware of the people commenting that it isn't the entire moral of the story, its made so that you can take what you want from it
Do you remember that spongebob episode when the flying dutchman's ship sends them to another dimension and it's a perfume shop? I feel like this video is purgatory.
Feels like there is some significance on the symbolism of perfume. It had iteration in the passages of the bible where the woman wept and poured the perfume to her hair to wipe the feet of jesus, heck I could even connect this to a movie where a man murders several women so that he could collect their essence and make a perfect perfume. Idk but it seems to relate of some sort of value and femininity.
Whoever the people behind this project were, they were way the heck ahead of their time, and I would love to see some weird Jack Stauber-ish shit on Adult Swim made by these people lmao. I hope they're doing well.
True. I didn't want to make any assumptions but... i'm not really that old, so I wouldn't know what entertainment was like before the mid-2000's, as I was... well, born in the late 2000's.
one of the subtle yet unsettling detail is how 1:42 is being recorded through another screen then it cuts off to a reaction where its recorded live. a subtle detail but quite the art i'd say.
It’s the fact that they sat there and acted this out, like bruh really sat there and sang a song about microwaving a poodle and was your average human being 🥰🥩
@Ella What woah okay, I’m aware this was intended to be scary and I like it. I was just saying that it’s impressive that people can come up with these ideas, there was no reason to tell me to shut up because I understood perfectly fine the concept of this song thanks.
It’s a project thing and he’s a killer so at the end he’s behind her at her home, and it basically means you’re too distracted by everyday life so you don’t notice the obvious dangers.
The poodle exploded the microwave with an AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter, but 40 years passed so the poddle died of natural causes, but the police thought he was killed by the explosion
This is the epitome of a uncanny valley music video plus with the cannibalistic open mouth guy really gives off that creepy sense that somebody or something is watching you from the back.
@@MrNucleosome have you seen Twin Peaks or only Eraserhead cause eery yet playful and still very clear is what Twin Peaks is all about... at least until Fire Walk With Me
You know what's funny? According to the director of this short, she took a painting class with David Lynch and, Lynch himself encouraged her to make a film someday.
I read about a poodle in a microwave story in an urban legend anthology book when I was a kid. Hearing them mention the story makes me wonder where the hell it actually came from.
People actually used to dry their animals using the oven, but when microwaves came some people didn't think much of it and tried to do the same with them, wich obviously didn't end well...
I'm a big Jack Stauber fan and I'd definitely say this has similar vibes, but not just because it's lo-fi. There's also the very odd disjointed singing, and the disturbing/unnerving undertones. Unless I misunderstood you and you meant that entire vibe dates back to the 60's, in which case I'd genuinely like to know what bands/songs you'd recommend!
@@Leo9ine I love the fact that "I know about this and its frustrating that people who don't all say the same annoying thing" is reads as "ugh hipster" in your brain
Yeah, that’s a cool theory but in an interview, the director who made this said that they had 15 minutes each day to film in the mall before it opened. But it would be creepy if it was a backrooms film dated all the way back to the ‘80’s
After watching this 3 times I realized what this is about. It is a colllege film that shows how people can be not careful for example when the building collapsed (which could have killed them) they instead payed attention to more perfume. And the man in the back (presumably a dangerous person) who has a wide mouth could hurt/kill them but the 2 girls STILL worry about perfume. Once you understand this it is actually quite comforting.
I'd hardly call this weirdcore. The closest it comes to it is being surreal with grain over the video. You could easily fit the song into a weirdcore animation or something, but to call this weirdcore feels like diluting it to an internet aesthetic even though it was made almost 40 years before the creation of the term (oh that being said I mean no ill will toward you, I just find it personally annoying when people dilute the things I like to a simple aesthetic. I love weirdcore/dreamcore too)
Is it bad that I felt physically sick at some points? It was not made any better because of those creepy disturbing TikToks about movies like The Human Centipede that used this song
Imagine if there was no context to this and people just describe seeing it once or twice before, and people can’t find it anymore? It would be incredibly creepy lost media.
This sounds so eerie and sad.. but uplifting and happy at the same time. It feels so odd to look at. It seems so safe but so scary at the same time.. The voices and facial expressions are so empty and plain which adds to the eerie vibe.
This is literally a perfect depiction of what a dream would be if it were filmed from someone's mind. Eerie.
I don’t ever want to sleep again after this. The idea of a man watching me in my dream without me noticing makes me feel disturbed.
