I got the 8 upvote notification and ended up in a rabbit hole and watched the actual video, which is a hilarious fever dream of a music video and worth a watch. I cant decide if my favorite Busta is Cowboy Busta or Officer Busta. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un3NkWnHl9Q
No, I figured, I’m not ragging. But we could equally assume she wore it cause she likes music, she’s making a music video (stylized or not), or just the aesthetic, so to say “hence” like she’s a specimen to be studied and come to a scientific conclusion is very funny.
Also, it makes me laugh to think of Jordan Peele HAVING to wear an Alfred Hitchcock shirt when directing a movie because that’s who inspires him.
"Hey lets set up on my porch and make a video, but act like we are doing it on a strangers ring cam because thats a trend on tik tok for some reason?"
"Yeah that sounds great, I'll stay inside and answer, while you all play, then we can cut it together"
"sweet! Ill say something like 'can we use your porch camera to make a video for our band' or something, and you sound confused. HA HA it will be great"
The layers of work portraying itself like spontaneous authenticity.
its digital astroturfing, the kids are doing a fine performance they are doing a good job playing and singing, then they ruin it by acting like "this isn't what it is... its just us kids doing kid things."
Pretty fun, but I have one minor issue. During the "block 'em like Lego" line they use a plush puppet thing rather than the actual Lego head they showed immediately prior.
My issue is that the kid operating the puppet is waaay too slow moving it, so he only start moving to the mic while his line is being sung instead of ready, and also he doesn't open the mouth at the right times for the lyrics. But the song is great.
Well after they filmed it on their own ring cam, like 5 times, they then looped in the audio they recorded at the studio their parents rented for them and had the producer clean up.
Just roll with it. Obviously the home owner would have been alerted by the Ring Camera that a delivery of one Rock Band occurred, and not having order a Rock Band, would have investigated.
They asked... their parents, who also paid for the production studio who did multiple audio passes on their music and audio, before layering it on top of the 5 different porch videos.
Well yes, or one of their parents did it themselves. Not unheard of. Of course it is work masquerading as authenticity, like so much these days. But the kids had fun, why the hell not.
I’ve got faith in the kids. So far they’ve been the biggest “fuck you” generation in history. In a time when everything needs to change this is a good thing
What would make you think it was scripted? The auto-tune? or the the multi-track recording on the instruments and audio that was clearly done in a studio?
They are explicitly implying that this video was recorded by playing for the ring camera, and stated that it was a neighbors ring camera when it clearly is not.
Its a double lie which is what people in the comments are pointing out. There was no need to do either, the music is pretty good and the performance is fun. adding the ring camera element ruins both.

That was actually pretty good
JamJarre
Rhyming "up" with "up" four times in a row is wild, but you still love to see it
4Astaroth
Makes me think of Flyleaf. Cool singer and fun guys.

Nice to see kids doing bands again. I thought that shit was dead.

That was actually pretty good. I even liked the video editing mostly.

The song does have a So What’cha Want kinda vibe…
Sorrontis
yeah. that's pretty damn awesome

Awesome but it was staged. I don't like thinking that people think I am a fool for believing their social media bs.

Unfortunately on page 6,043 of the EULA for Ring, Amazon now owns this song and the firstborn of every band member.
Omegasaurus
They already did because this is an ad for Ring cameras

Hey, its the twice daily repost of this video.
Pfffftit
That’s some good shite

Song is a bit of a banger. Would we search for Maple From NExt Door to find it?
nojustsayitdont
Edit: no that didn't work.

BLOCK EM LIKE LEGO! BLOCK EM LIKE LEGO!
RevolutionOnHerLips
It's on spotify, actually. The band is Maple's Pet Dinosaur and the song is called "lego." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6ACQGhpLl4

Very Halestorm vibe
MarkoSolo
I got a tiny taste of the RHCP as well in there.

throwback to old MTV music videos with fisheye cameras, hence the shirt.

And the sound too

Sounds like early Avril, in a good way

“Hence” is a funny word to use there. Do you know for sure that’s why she wore the shirt? 😂
EccentricNut
it seems obvious to me that was her intent, but I guess it could just be a coincidence

That was awesome 👏

Genuinely hope their band name is Kids Next Door

Never hurts to be a good neighbor something much needed in this day at age.
gemaeuer
perhaps ask for permission before you carry your whole eqipment over?

Don't worry. I am pretty sure they did.

That’s crazy cause my ring does not pick up sounds that clearly
LordHosk
Well after they filmed it on their own ring cam, like 5 times, they then looped in the audio they recorded at the studio their parents rented for them and had the producer clean up.
AccountOfMyDong
...That's not how music videos work. They're filmed, cut together, and a studio recording of the song is added on top.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Asks AFTER having brought the whole band and equipment and set it up. Multiple shots including at night.
MarkoSolo
I'm very glad you made me think about this, after seeing the nighttime bits, I just thought it was a super long song.
MissNY
Relax MeatWagon. They're kids.
Fanner50
Because all other music videos are real, nothing fake , planned, or edited

Good job Sherlock

In reality they 100% asked before, but that doesn't sell on social media
LordHosk
They asked... their parents, who also paid for the production studio who did multiple audio passes on their music and audio, before layering it on top of the 5 different porch videos.
gnomedeplume
you seem visibly agitated at the idea of young people doing literally anything
Fanner50
“Visibly agitated”?
Get crazy yourself

get crazy? don't mind if I do!

I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and say that part was very probably scripted

Still, Maples band is great. Kids gonna be allright

...you realise the music in music videos is not played live for the camera?
LordHosk
They don't walk up to the camera at the start and say "can we use this to make a music video" though do they?
LordHosk
They are explicitly implying that this video was recorded by playing for the ring camera, and stated that it was a neighbors ring camera when it clearly is not.
Its a double lie which is what people in the comments are pointing out. There was no need to do either, the music is pretty good and the performance is fun. adding the ring camera element ruins both.
ASCNekura
That is exactly what they did. "Is it okay if we use your ring to make a music video, please?"
