[MrFretraperify]

@30MFLORES did u have a dreamcast?

[jdmimport13]

Kids shoot people now. Why can't they go back to TP'ing houses?

[crusty21]

03:34 The guy calls the cops for help and they just steal his donuts when they arrive.

[soulhunter1996]

street heats the urgency around yeah

[Ingrownsage]

I wish I was born when good music was out. not all this shitty rap...

[ExtrinsicMedia]

@smithdude101

d is a connotation for what.....hmmmmmmmm

[rvpsmdsk]

i had one of those yellow sony waterproof walkmans when i was 15 listening 2 this and i ditched my bike and hitched 2 a wine and food festival and got real pissed and hooked up with this milf it was pretty funny. forever young man

[mindaugas496]

I miss the times, when MTV used to play good music. And now its just pregnant teens all the time...

[D3thpool]

This Song always gets me ;_;

i miss the old times..

[bullet31]

For some odd reason my father used to watch this video

[MsSobergirl05]

I so love this song, and the band. I've never grown up myself! I'm 50, have a 21 year old son who plays guitar and introduced me to Smashing Pumkins and other stuff. Used to only listen to classic rock.

[metalheadkev10]

@MsSobergirl05 your son is awesome for showing you the sp's man



[missdeadzone]

what does any uther kinda band or any kinda racism gotta do with this song???

[TheBlackOnWhiteCrime]

Ah, the good ole' days before niggers took over the music industry...

[HadeesHeart]

@TheBlackOnWhiteCrime The good new days where rascists like you should be shot? <3

[drummerboy12281]

@TheBlackOnWhiteCrime you got that right

[IrvinPwnz]

I Paused My Porno For this

[12StepJiG]

you are all dickheads.

[malice1488]

 i hate niggers

[only1MasterShake]

I LOVE this song!!!! Pure awesomeness!!!

[bailey18ist]

hahahah i like how the slurpee cup says: say no to drugs

[Tyweez89]

Why the hell does Justin Beibers name always pop up in the comment section to a totally unrelated video? This is Smashing Pumpkins...Talk about Justin on Justins video.

[toatsmugoats]

i dont think theres a better song out there that reminds me of my childhood. i love this song

[themck]

Watched this video hundreds of times on MTV back in the day... this is the first time I noticed the cameo of Vince Vaughn playing the cop. Then again Swingers came out the same year as this song... so I probably didn't know who the hell Vince Vaughn was yet.

[Animeman73]

I remember when i saw this song on MTV back when they actually had quality music videos. The early and mid 90's were truly a creative and epic time. And in my opinion these days it's time once again to toss conformity to the curb and get creative again because we need it now more than ever.

[DaigoMoustache]

This song makes me nostalgic for 1979...and I wasn't even close to being born yet. That's how you know it's a great song. :)

[ironclaw1985]

i miss being young ^.^

[mangtomas69]

It was stop n' go not 7-11 ROFL

[YoshiAddict]

Why can't the world be like this? Just build it up (or tear it down) as you damn well please. And I for one, damn well please.

[beatles123]

@YoshiAddict Wohoho there steally dan. the song embraces the youth og a culture gone by, not Anarchy! :)

[TheHealerShannon]

Am I the only person who thinks Cogen is hot as fuck? Cause he totally is. :3

[dencentco2]

@TheHealerShannon oh yeah

[WhenUgonnaGetAjob]

2:45 hahaha, nice one Billy - that kid was such a dick...

[UzALyinDevil]

I love this song

[PJ92SOLAT]

This actually make me want to close my computer and never get back on it.

[Haileyoop]

@PJ92SOLAT why?

[1COALCHAMBER1]

KICK ASS JAM,,, KICK ASS BAND,,, REMINDS ME OF HIGH SCHOOL,,, I LOVE AND MISS THOSE DAYS,,,,,,,,

[MsMMoretti]

love this song

[HeathFirelfyAi]

This song + bubble baths... YAY!

[Dropkicky0u]

A time without Facebook. No iPods. Cassettes were fading out and CDs were fading in. A year of no technology - vs. - technology. Good times were had without the fear of permanent digital retribution.

[Eifler121]

@Dropkicky0u What are you afraid of?

[pipemaster98]

YouTube made a big mistake. They put the dislike button.

[Upthebutt247]

Once i heard this song, i duck-taped me balls to my thigh so they would never drop. I truly Love this, ageing sucks

[bub2u3]

u guyss are asses...their music is awesome.. thats why they make millions........dum jus mad cus u ante got what they have

[randyandy1960]

have a listen to " IN YOUR MIND " by andrew gerbasi. cool tune as well. Cheers.

[datsuniste]

magnifique

[3M00RI]

whats this song about ?

[Marysol24753]

i used to dream that my youth would be like this. it never became like this....

[goriosky]

awesome... SP the best...

[moomiss]

Billy is such a huge inspiration to me. Im 15, and a couple years ago, I would rather sit at home and play videogames than go out and have fun. But this song/video really inspired me to get out there, because these times are probably going to be the best years of my life. And someday, when im about 30 and out of college and taking on challenging adult life; I will have memories with me that will last a lifetime.

[67maverick]

@moomiss You're in to something there. I've been there, done that. I am 43 and I the memories. Go out there. Live your life. It won't come back. The only thing you can do is to regret.

[S13noGRIP]

sucks that they dont make vidoes like this no more...kids that grew up in 90s seem to have more fun with less money and technology then they do now..

[TwistinFool]

Perfect road trip song

[fendertaylor101]

What an amazing video

[YankEZe911]

i have no idea what the lyrics mean, but it is so relaxing for me to listen to this song. i love it.

[falonkey1]

This is when music videos were good... now in the rare chance you catch a music video on tv its of people pouring out drinks and throwing money... no substance... you wanna say someone sold out? How about an entire generation of music....

[jdmimport13]

@falonkey1 Exactly. Kids now have "Teen mom". Hahaha

[UTubist512]

Really good song from a monster of an album- and nice video. I was a senior in HS and remember our band rock played at house parties: loud amps, drunk chicks, moms threatening to call the cops . Great fun! It brings back memories, though the best clip was of the teens riding in the back of the car just... going......... nowhere.....That seems to capture that age the best for me.

[dominojack69]

any body when this was reliased?

[TheMeatballMen]

fuck growing up

[ObijeeTeeVee]

Billy was emo before all those teens ruined it :D

[jonnyrb1981]

Was it not a bit racist that they made James play the convenience store clerk ?

[sydneycarton79]

"double cross the vacant and the bore, they're not sure just what we have in store,"

"no apologies ever need be made, i know you better than you're thinking,"

[williampatrickcorgan]

@sydneycarton79 he actually says 'no apologies ever need be made, i know you better than fake it to see'

[sydneycarton79]

"double cross the vacant and the bore, they're not sure just what we have in store,"

[MrYodude96]

DEAR ALL ROCK AND NIRVANA FANS, FEBRUARY 20TH IS KURT COBAIN'S BIRTHDAY. THAT DAY WE WILL ALL VISIT THE "SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT" VIDEO, LIKE IT, AND WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. NOT ONLY WILL IT PAY BACK RESPECT TO HIM, IT WILL ALSO HELP NIRVANA GET TO THE TOP OF YOUTUBE AGAIN. THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT AND REPOST THIS ON ANY NIRVANA OR ANY ROCK VIDEO.

[ggorgo]

my year...

love billy's smile at 0:43

[almoztahbeast23]

easily teh Smashing Pumpkins best song & one of my all-time favorites

[CODMW2addiction]

2:32 = Crazy headbanger right there bro's.

[JiffyNo0b]

No reason we shouldn't all still act a bit like this at 57. Maturity is always equated with our ability to submit these days. We can be mature, (e.g. not fucking around in the convenience store) but still fight for our right to have a private conversation on the phone with out having to worry about the government or anyone else listening in at their whim.

Don't "grow up," kids. It's all a lie and it isn't worth it. Stay free.

[TensaZangetsu1200]

@JiffyNo0b Watch Sigur Rós' Hopippolla, it's 1979 with old people. And it's beautiful.

[Ratd0g28]

@JiffyNo0b Best comment I've read in weeks. Things sure were different even when this album first came out. Things have changed too quickly. And not for the better either.

[noszondi]

@JiffyNo0b i wish the government would listen in on my phone conversations

[informationwarfare]

@noszondi they do

[punkbeech2008]

@JiffyNo0b I am 14 and I totally agree with you. I think people don't find being grown up fun, it's the actual growing up they love. I want to be 16 forever.

[IcePhixia2000]

@JiffyNo0b huh

[informationwarfare]

@JiffyNo0b Nice comment man

[N73B60]

@JiffyNo0b I'm sorry to inform you that getting old happens in nature to all animals, including humans, and science doesn't have a solution for that yet. Your body will get old and you have to prepare your mind for that shit. Face the reality or else you'll be like peter fucking pan in a goddamn ozzy osbourne body. Getting old has nothing to do with freedom, you fucking asshole. Stop writing bullshit comments in youtube.

[Sonnyxleet]

@N73B60 Are you serious? Age has quite a lot to do with freedom. Take a look between the lines. In this day & age, growing old is damn near equal to losing credibility in nearly all aspects of life. An elderly person could be assaulted on the street, go to the police to complain and they're shrugged off as crazy or unimportant. you can't possibly believe age has nothing to do with freedom. If you're a senior citizen and you don't live how the government wants you to live, you're out of luck.

[N73B60]

@Sonnyxleet If aging and freedom are connected, then I can say an elderly person has time to travel and enjoy life. We, young people, have to wake up every fucking day and go to work, enslaved by the time and a boss. This is why I think aging has nothing to do with freedom, because you gain and you loose. Freedom works in a more personal level. Some people can have more freedom than others with the same age, it all depends on your mind and attitude. Linking freedom to aging is teenage bullshit!

[Sonnyxleet]

@N73B60 I don't think you understand the meaning of Jiffy's comment. Also, I'm not saying that our elders aren't free, I'm merely confirming that age has a lot to do with freedom.

[walk4trot2canter3]

Toilet paper? Tree? Fun! Litter! Waste!

[pagerap]

I was born in 1979 and I'm really happy about that!!!

[pagerap]

I'm 1979 and I'm happy that I was born in this year!!!

[OrganikTruth]

149 people are retarded

[sidvick12]

god man!!! im sick of all fucking comments positive or negative!!! im just sick of them at first they were funny now thy're just a pain to look at......it's like when your full and you can't see food anymore because you'll feel like trhowing up...well thats how i feel!! i don't care about your better years, or if justin beiber sucks just enjoy the fucking video god dammit!!!!

[filmesTM]

@sidvick12 i think that's what you're trying to do

[jenbrown007]

@sidvick12 u need help

[johnboy24071972]

@sidvick12 you had a bad day man or what????

[1979rickfukingjames]

@sidvick12 hey letting people remembering theyre youth years isnt a bad thing..

[pedropickle]

@1979rickfukingjames He's not preventing you from reliving memories, just that nobody gives a fuck about your memories so keep em to urself

[1979rickfukingjames]

@pedropickle we really dont care if you give a fuck...

[vusa69]

@sidvick12 uhmmm.... you don't have to look at the comments. the page doesnt scroll down and force you to read them. you obviously voluntarily read these comments. its youtube. this is a video. there is a comment board for people to discuss whatever topic they please. soo stop bitching? if you dont like it, dont look at it.

[JeffreyEdward19]

@sidvick12 Ever think about not scrolling down to read the comments and instead enjoy the music? Duh. Winning.

[antiedman]

@sidvick12 ha



[jimjimfrancis22]

@sidvick12 Dude everyone has to share there story. Songs brings up feelings, if you feel your music. Pink Floyd Us and Them no matter what high or not makes me wanna rewind time. This song is just good but stop being an angry troll and enjoy life brah. You Mad?

[blazedstranger]

@sidvick12 why dont u take ur own advice and just enjoy the fucking video, ur adding to your own problem there idiot. who gives a shit if someone wants to reminisce about the good old days. if u dont like it dont look at the comments.

[ExtrinsicMedia]

@sidvick12

pretty much hahaha at least this is a TRUE band and not a corporation recycling a single motif of getting drunk or never growing up (KESHA AND JUSTIN W.E). This band is great...and music video is great....last of the counterculture....transcended from their parents.....through genealogy and ideals. I am one of these kids in the video....was lucky enough to not get left behind :)

[filmesTM]

where this video was shot?

[lopr0fyle]

"COOL kids never have the time..."

[AMCsoldier]

This is my favorite music video of all time.

[rooty83]

damn..this song takes me back to a much better and simpler time in my life..i love it..

[Rameater]

smoke a dubby then listen

[lifemusicgo]

CHECK IT OUT: 4390 WINTER PARK

[ilovemusic0023]

How can someone dislike this, am i missing something here!!

[changospank1]

i always loved the bass playing in smashing pumpkins. you need to bump shit like this to really do it justice.

[ChoasKid141]

I luv how at 3:36 the cops are buying donuts haha...ohh old stereotypes how ill miss you :(

[mawvado]

linda musica

[lulzrachelx]

149 people needed to be drop kicked. 

[fishman017]

Among the best rock songs ever. I like Zeppelin, I like Hendrix, blah blah blah. But when it really comes down to it, I'm not sure it gets any better than this. I miss the 90s. I'm thirty-two and I already feel old, guess that was bound to happen.

[hovis1962]

@fishman017 Billy was a perfectionist.

[hrodriguezjr]

the 90s were da shit!!!

apparently 1979 was as well.

[sexydanny21awesome]

In the 90's MTV actually played music videos and I mean actually good music videos! Now MTV tells us go to a web site to watch music videos and reality tv is only thing we can watch on MTV!!!!!!!!!! The 90's kicked ass and todays music channels suck!

[sexydanny21awesome]

The 90's were awesome that was a time when music videos were known as art.

[pOoPdIcK76]

sometimes i wish i didnt have all this technology i always wonder what i would be like without it

[sematson1]

we spent a lot of time being bored teenagers back then... hanging out, doing NOTHING... It's not like that anymore... this is true..

[NYCANTHONYB]

awesome video...so thankful I grew up listening to this and the other bands of the time. Nineties were so magic...god I miss that time. Backpacking around Europe and getting lost ....before Facebook, GPS and high speed internet. You can't travel and really get lost anymore. Everyone knows every move you make these days. Africa is where it's at...don't tell anyone though.

[scruffmcgruffy]

cool kids never have the time<3

[caspapin]

that we don't even care, as restless as we are

[1Nekit1]

148 People were actually making loops on the road...

[jakeequalsawsomeness]

Will someone please explain to me why their youth in the 80s and 90s was so much better than mine in the 00s and why this video can represent their era so well and not mine?

[1Nekit1]

@jakeequalsawsomeness Because, of new world rule... duh!

[wavesofenergy]

@jakeequalsawsomeness IS this better than your youth? Maybe it's the same.

[markmeson]

@jakeequalsawsomeness jake i was basically the last generation before what you can call the "technological crisis", grew up in the 90s and i noticed that everything changed very suddenly around 97-99. everything started to feel more fake and let's face it music was never the same after that (never as good). arts and entertainment unfortunately after that point in time it seems began to function more as mathematical models to maximize profit instead of as an outlet for true artists like the SP.

[markmeson]

when broadband internet started to become widespread at just about that same time, from my eyes, the whole world began to lose the feeling of originality and "realness". now everything feels mass produced and cookie cutter. you can't get away from it. everyone shares the same exact knowledge and its kind of a mess. im really sorry that you and your generation will never know how free one felt back then.

[1979rickfukingjames]

@jakeequalsawsomeness BECAUSE OUR ERA SUCKS COCK!!!!

[AMCsoldier]

This is my all-time favorite music video. It takes place in 1979 but could just as easily represent my own youth in the 90's. Some experiences and feelings are timeless.

[creativeforce11]

BRILLIANT - REMEMBER IT VERY WELL - GREAT TIMES

[1Nekit1]

@creativeforce11 I wonder, if I could :/

[therunningman09]

Its a damn shame these guys had to split up because kids back then were having their brains sucked out by crap like Britney Spears, Backstreet boys, and Aaron carter. Its great to see that they got back together.

[ilwilco]

they blurred out the middle fingers ....really? ..lame

[Curanderasworld]

Und weil wir grad Halloween haben noch was feines von den Smashing Pumpkins ^^

[dchris12345]

im 13 and no1 in my school listens 2 this beast music like only a couple people do this was when they had good music like i bring my gutair 2 a party and i have 2 leave cuz no1 there listens they listen 2 that gay pop shit

[Tinewashere]

@dchris12345 Don't worry, you're just ahead of them :) When you get a few years older and other people grow, you'll probably find some friends with the same music taste. The same happened to me - I was 13 and no one really liked rock music. Now I'm 16 and most of my friends like rock :)

[C2317]

I'm 13 years old and I love SMASHING PUMPKINS!!! great band *****

[chodemufin]

"somehow" ive only just discovered sp, can some one suggest similar bands with thier kind of sound.

[JarrodROX]

@chodemufin check out Superunknown by Soundgarden

[franconbean]

@chodemufin tall order. if you listen to their album Mellon Collie and the Infinite sadness, you will hear almost all dimentions of the genre.

[bsamoa]

love this song, its a song for all ages, it brings back memories

[skyyler66]

I remember being young... no worries whatsoever... wishing i was grown... now i wish i was young again... Im only 24 but old enough to go to jail and pay bills!!! Lol!!!

[hbsur420]

@skyyler66 haha i couldnt have said it better.

[ste893]

@skyyler66 amen! cept Im 42 and its not that bad...don't be scared, just be smarter! lifes good and everyday you WILL be smarter because of it!!!

[SticFig]

148 people were never teenagers at one point in their lives...

[MyGhanaboy]

CLASSIC!!!

[yummymayo]

i remember M2

[clioromain]

oh my god,believe me,i was looking for this track since maybe two years !!!!! i wasn't sure about the group name,and then,all of a sudden,i was having a shower today,and then i found it : Smashing Pumpkins. It just came like that,with no reason...sometimes life's cool,i still have a good memory hahaha

[omgitsclassical]

i watched the 'literal' version parody first, now i cant take this video seriously...

[janporra]

@joesyvamp, this was back when Mtv used to show any music at all.

[xPOWELLDRUMMERx]

all music today is fuckin auto tune gay rap songs all over tha place! wish they had more music like this now

[joanjettpwns1]

Born too damn late. I hate being 12 in a world run by pop music and rap. It's depressing, because Smashing Pumpkins is my favorite band.

[xPOWELLDRUMMERx]

@joanjettpwns1 same here but im 15

[Amers415]

why did he have to cut his hair? :( he looked a lot better with hair!

[Disco32er]

148 people never rolled around in a giant tire, no but seriously this is an amazing song

[3sheetz2thawind]

Nostalgia happens to be my favorite thing in life.

[Prometheus1st]

I keep coming back here....so much music...

I bounce backward and forward.

I suggest you guys/gals do the same...exposes you to some stuff you may otherwise miss.

[normdtdeh]

Song about the year i was born, and by my favorite band. They don't make music this good anymore. 

[stephenallenrapp]

&hearts; One of my favorites .. . :)

[Andy18244]

did mtv use to play good music?

[maximino27]

I was born in 1979 =)

[mastamynd84]

wow mtv back in the day when the m actually stood for music, this song along with ava adore became instant sp classics

[Patrickdraven]

Sharon Osbourne claimed that this band disgusted her. She's married to a guy who bit the head off a live bat WTF LOL

[picklellama48]

@Patrickdraven I thought that it was a dove or was it both?

[TDHBobHope87]

@Patrickdraven as much as i agree Ozzy is god but sp is one of the greatest bands to have ever played

@TDHBobHope87 Ozzy is at best a prince... of darkness
