  • Who the fuck cares if it's emo? I like the shit so fuck off.

  • guys, theyre doing sports........thats emo to you?

  • I didn't even know ultimate frisbee existed in 1999. Did JEW invent it? ;)

  • definitely emo...n by emo i mean emotional...Love it!!

  • 1:10 lol!

  • i dont know if they're emo or not, but they're definitely a big influence for emo.

  • this song makes me cry almost every time i listen to it...i love jimmy eat world

  • this is the funniest music video ever! i love jimmy!

  • im gay

    

  • PLEASE COME LISTEN TO OUR MUSIC

    AND LET US KNOW YOUR OPINION :)

    THANKSSS

  • I watch this video when I'm down, and it always cheers me up ! JEW forever <3

  • I love the bit at 0:44 - 0:45 where that bonehead does the finger pistols at Jim, after pushing him over. Such a Neandethal!

  • lol I get it JEW is the abbreviations for jimmy eat world!!

  • Lets not lable good music like this emo. Its degrading, at least in my view. Sure, being emotional is cool, but not the people who call themselves emo. (whiny attention whores)

    God i hate lables, genres, stereotypes. Most good music doesnt easily fit a genre, because of its originality and distinct sound.

  • People! Let's just enjoy awesome music goshhh, it's not hard.

    And people that don't like Jimmy Eat World, why the eff did you even click on something that says "Jimmy Eat world"?? Some people can just be really stupid.

  • fuck all the emo/not emo comments.

    this is an amazing band and a great song,

  • If I read on more goddamn comment about JEW being emo, I'm going to go postal on all of you.

    BEFORE COMMENTING: Click 'All Comments' and read the three or four people who have already written exactly what you're about to write about 'the meaning of the word' and then think of something more interesting to say.

  • @DrSchadenfreude Jimmy Eat World is so emo.

  • @bindslind you didnt do what i said, did you. the point was im fed up of reading people dispute whether they are or not. *sigh*

  • @DrSchadenfreude

    Time to stop reading comments?

  • "Emo" started in the 80's. It means emotional hardcore. Well it did.. now it's a stupid term that doesn't mean anything at all! Kids just throw it around as an image thing.

  • I liked this band a lot around the time this vid was made. I may have have been on of the 3 people who bought "Static Prevails" in 1996. This vid came out in 1999 and is kind of a rip off of a video Promise Ring made in 1997. Then Davey ends up with a vocal on the "Bleed American" album. If you think too long about it, your head will explode!!

  • This is a hilarious video!

  • 1:10 HAHHAHAHAH AWESOME!

  • god.

    i hate youtube.

    i hate comments.

    in response to people *still* giving a shit/calling fall out boy emo. lol dudes.

    they were pop/punk in their early days (first 2 albums) last 2 pure pop shit.

    jimmy eat world were emo. (everyone knows that)

  • jim looks so 50's...ha

  • I'm wondering why everyone is getting so worked up over JEW being emo. Does it really matter? Does it make them less awesome? The answer is no. So let's no argue over something completely stupid and just enjoy this little piece of awesome those guys put for us to enjoy.

  • im really not sure what album of jimmy eat world is the best... clarity is just amazing... same with chase this light and futures... but not jimmy eat world/bleed american... just don't like it as much as the others.

  • they look really young!!!

  • So young

  • great video! great song! great band! great times!

  • This sounds different from the album version.

  • i heard its different, but i cant tell the difference?

  • During the last chorus, they repeat it again as it fades out, whereas the album version has the drum loop going until it gets to "Your New Asthetic." Also, during the bridge, "Why can't I learn?" is repeated and is more in the mix than it is on the album version.

  • yeah i thought i noticed that in the bridge. such a good album honestly

  • Agreed.

  • Its also EQed differently. More dull.

  • damn i want that song ... can i download somewhere?? ö.ö

  • buy the cd

  • I agree. The whole CD is great.

  • yeah it is (though i havent got it yet )

    never there when I go to HMV D:

  • i wish theyd made a documentary on how they made clairty. I think the record is basically the 'pet sounds' of the 1990's

  • you mean Bleed American? and it doesn't suck ass. actually they hate people who say their music sucks ass. In his own words"Thanks Callum, every song I write is basically pure emotion. I pour everything I feel into words and tabs, so I guess maybe that's why I react so horribly to things like that. It's just hard for me to comprehend how someone could write off raw human emotion as "crap"."

  • that's a great quote, where did you get it?

  • With lucky Denver Mint.. I like the song but the guitar part sounds like it will put me to sleep.

  • Yeah!... It's so great that Jim Adkins is like a character in this movie. - He is like thinking,: "Hmm... I can do THIS!" And he owns them all! They're really cool! I love this band, it Rocks! *makes more "!"'s than anyone else in the world* I LOVE THIS BAND SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this video is amazing.

  • jimmy eat world are not emo, sure the music is emotinal but is not emo... to b honist i dont realy care coz tay are ace

  • jimmy eat world was labled emo when their first album 'singles' came out. That was in 1994. Emo back then meant emotional. Now it means something completely different.

  • YOU are smart

  • @MusicViideoChannel Their first album was released in 1995 and was self-titled. It was created on Wooden blue records. "Singles" was a compliation album released in 1999 that was compiled of a bunch of songs from various split ep's with bands like Christie Front Drive and Emery. it was released on Big Wheel Recreation records. Jimmy Eat World was not labeled "emo" for their first album, it is a pop-punk genre. Static Prevails (1996) stuck them with the "emo" label.

  • @MusicViideoChannel I don't think Jimmy Eat World have been emo since the 90's, this song ain't emo either.

  • @MusicViideoChannel "singles" is not their first album. is not even a proper album. the first track of singles, "opener", has been included in a compilation by deep elm record called "the emo diaries vol. 1" so i guess that's where it all begun.

  • and what kind of music ISN'T emotional?

  • gregorian chant. to define a genre by its emotional nature seems to me not to be saying that its the only genre with emotion, but that it's notable for being at the high end of the scale..

  • tenkre get your facts straight jimmy eat world is emo. emo is a type of music it dosnt mean they cut them selves. its emotional music

  • lol lol lol  - Oh, I needed that today. Too funny, guys!

  • this song is on the best album in the history of the world

    ...seriously

    and i personally think this is the best music video of all the singles

  • yeah, clarity was a great album, i just love how unpretentious they are, theyre all about writing good songs, they dont want to experiment with african and carribean sounds and all that bullshit. they just like making good music, and i personally like all of their albums i think bleed american was the best in my opinion.

  • bleed america, FTW!

  • *Clarity* is a masterpiece, enjoyable in any situation and any stage of life. If you're not impressed by this song, listen to 'for me this is heaven', 'ten', 'your new asthetic' or 'goodbye sky harbour'. They're stellar

  • "Homosexual" is not a synonym for "shitty". Jimmy Eat World don't like the label "emo" as a band and the current definition of "emo" has shifted since when JEW were first slapped with it and it was fairly accurate. Nuff said..

  • Right on.

  • No one said Limp Bizkit are emo...

    And Jimmy Eat World are DEFINITELY emo. Just because emo bands have slowly changed their style, it doesn't stop what used to be classed as emo being emo. If you get what I mean.  They might not be seen as emo when compared to other emo bands nowadays, but they are emo.

  • i agree completely, i mean back in the 90's being called an emo band wasn't seen as negative and the genera produced some really good bands i.e. SDRE, Mineral, Fugazi(im not sure if they're really emo or not but they're good non the less) Jimmy Eat World etc.

  • I agree as well, Jimmy Eat World are one of the original emo bands, it didn't have a negative connotation back in the 90's and it still doesn't in my opinion when referencing bands like JEW

  • @tenkre hahaha you don't know what emo is buddy. Go read up on the genre a little before you say stuff like this. Fall Out Boy is far from emo.

  • @tenkre fallout boy is not emo. real 'emo' started in the late 1980's in washington dc. do your homework.

  • ...man, I never knew there was a video for this, and I definitely didn't expect it to be so funny! The ending just kicked ass!

  • Ha ha ha... I was just told that Jonah Matranga was in this video, and a came here to watch and see if it was true, and yes, he is. XD

    He's one of the frisby guys, and you can't really tell that it's him in any of the shots except for one around 2:45.

  • awesome song......weird video.....but awesome all the same!

  • my favourite JIW song!

  • J EEEEEEEat W of course ;)

  • alright. to all the people who say this is emo. incase your not retarded and just need this explained. emo is emotion. therefore. anything thats not bloodhound gang can be emo because most all lyrics have some line of emotion in them. so quit being a fag and stop stealing your moms make up. i didn't realize that having parents that love you and friends who care about you makes your life so terrible and bad. and dont coment on my spelling fuckers.

  • i wont comment on your spelling. the logical flaws are too glaring for me to get that far - emotional music is emotional. "emo" music is a subgenre. one which is much maligned, one which USED TO mean bands like Jimmy Eat World and now means bands like Fall Out Boy. this, by a slowly fading definition, is emo music, like it or not. in fact they were the FIRST mainstream "emo" band.

  • your tirade is stupid. not everyone who listens to any sort of music is anything. to say everyone who listens to what you think is "emo" is a suburban crybaby depressive-wannabe is about as smart as using "fag" as an insult. now go back to watching wwe and voting for bush...we're finished with you here.

  • like dude the is so cool good work :)

  • god i love this song

    and the video with it is very amusing :P

    jim's adorable :D

    and has the best hair

    that is all.

  • I love Jimmy eat World.

    so nice

  • This song is from one of my all time favourite albums. Clarity should be owned by everyone!

  • One of my favv Jimmy songss x

    Woo Love it x

  • Ha ha, love it! Next time I'm feeling down, I'll watch this to cheer myself up.

  • wow he looks so young, when was this?

  • The single came out in 1999 and so I'm guessing any time after 1998 nearly a decade ago:-) Time flies doesn't it.

  • Time goes too bloody quick!

    Peace...

  • wat a song and video is good

    and anyone who disagrees is a twat

  • yeah. feel good clip. haha

  • Every time an emo kid cries, a viking comes down from the pagan lands and dismembers him.. (and you're one of those, i guess. definitely not the viking)

  • I listen to fucking Black Metal, on the side. I'm the crying viking - don't fuck with me....TROLL HAMMEREN!

  • lol dude, that was funny as hell!

  • that's.. well just really hillarious. honestly, good vibes clip. love the track

  • jonah is a legend go add him on myspace!and then put this video on your page!

  • thanks for the upload and tip

  • jonah matranga is playing frisbee there, crazy

  • is their a way i can download this ive searched everywhere?

  • I'd never seen this video. Clarity is one of my favorite albums ever. I think this silly video is pretty contrary to the song, though. I wonder how much input the band had in it...

  • Definitely their best clip!
