Hey all toony here! Ive come out of my hiatus because ajr summoned me.

the dumb song like. Reeks of how pepole portray nurodivergent pepole.

As someone who is more then likely on the spectrum pepole have called me dumb even when im just anxious or not liking a change or something along those lines.

I dont know if eather adam jack or ryan are nurodivergent. (I mean i know jack has ADHD) but i can tell what the song really means and thats just self loathing but like. It feels like a nurodivergent person being sarcastic with someone in a way.

But hey im also a will wood fan so death of the author and all that jazz

AJR’s “The Dumb Song” music video is a work of art

now and I’m realising it might be one of the best music VIDEOS I’ve ever seen.

Most music videos are kind of like movies, they have to tell a story and they mostly have the singers lip-syncing to the song.

The dumb song music video doesn’t really do that. It’s an actual VIDEO. What I really like is that, at the beginning, they have about five seconds where the music doesn’t even start. On most videos, the creators try to jam-pack the first 20 seconds and are basically begging for the viewer’s attention. I’m not saying that this is necessarily a bad thing, but in the dumb song music video, they get rid of the people who don’t really want to see / hear the music. Then, once the music starts (very visually. You can see Jack playing the drums at the beginning). Then they get into some of the best video craftsmanship I have ever seen. 

In the video, they have cuts every two or three seconds. Except for the slower / more important parts. There is one part in the video where there is seven or so seconds with no cuts. This really emphasises when the cut does happen. They also do something quite genius throughout all of the music video. They tell the story of the making of the song during the video. They have text to sort of explain how they made it. This made me as a viewer (and I’m sure other people, too) have another reason to want to watch until the end. Even if you don’t really feel the need to listen to the whole song, you stick around to see the story through. You want the unclosed loop to be closed. You want to bridge the curiosity gap. This is truly a great video. Thank you AJR. You have 100% retention from me.
