Cloud Nothings - Hey Cool Kid

[tanta07]

パワー means power

神聖なたわごと　means holy shit

勝利　means victory

[russianspiess]

ha ha wtf. they repeat the same 4 setences throughout the whole song.

[CFCFeargalCFC]

Raisins on face

[DayDahDoo]

lebron??



[Damirness]

I detect an extensive use of FInal Cut Pro's "Smoothcam"

[Skorbutt]

i was waiting for the song to start when i realized it already had for more than a minute.

[pa55enger]

This is so hipster I think I'm gonna puke pink goths...

[33Sizemore]

woah. miniature flaming pig

[TheTarbyTarby]

Okay, so it's difficult to answer anything to the whole hipster thing, cus I still have this odd feeling nobody knows what it actually means, but I want to ask a question:

Because of the PBR and the glasses and stuff some of you decided, that this band is insincere because you know.. they're hipsters... do you often ask black people if they've stolen anything recently? To me, it's the same (ironically enough) shallow thing to say..

[TheTarbyTarby]

@TheTarbyTarby Obviously not exactly same awful thing as racism, but you know what I mean. Judging by appearance..

[megandoesntlikeyou]

@TheTarbyTarby Mhm. What does it matter if a band or person is deemed 'hipster' anyway? Good, interesting people. Good, interesting music. That's what it should really all be about, not this insane obsession with labeling people and judging them, just because you (generalized) don't understand them or care to try. To let them be themselves, to be happy with what makes them happy. That's what it should be about, but sadly isn't.

[TheTarbyTarby]

@megandoesntlikeyou I like your thinking. Could you imagen a place where peoples motto was "what ever blows your skirt up"?

[KingCrimson776]

@TheTarbyTarby This music is clearly insincere, though that isn't inherently a bad (nor a "shallow") thing. In this case it is though (oh, and the terrible songwriting).

[TheTarbyTarby]

@KingCrimson776 obviously, they are not exactly Radiohead when it comes to lyrics, but hey, I do like the braindead melody. The song is great in summertime road trips for all I know. I couldn't care less if they were insincere (especially because we don't actually know that they are for sure) because the song makes me feel awesome. I don't expect heart and soul in dancing music.

[KingCrimson776]

@TheTarbyTarby Listen to Huey Lewis & the News for "Heart and Soul" in dance music, son.

jk

[totallytaylor21]

he had PBR in his hand at the beginning! haha hipster

[Paan65]

Oh yeah a Cassette tape

[spliter227]

whats up with r stevie moore in the background?

[FrostieDragon]

lol "help me return to my home planet"

[JR1840]

really ptichfork??????

[baaateee]

神聖なたわごと！

[galacticmerger]

i want a nerd boyfriend

[ArcadeRobotOnFire]

Ironically enough.... nerd is the new cool.

[jtors5]

this is the only mix I've ever head that EVERYTHING is actually buried. Congrats on making a good band sound like shit. If you were going for the "tin can can't hear a thing" sound, you did great. The added effects make it even worse.

[KayandCait]

umm, this is deff not the song i was looking for o.o

[danield157]

My indefinite anthem, starting now

[rachjessee]

nice teeth, bro.

[rubyboyke]

wish i was such a cool kid..

[ellliotlai]

hey cookie hey cookie

[electric23sand]

white power?

[Qp0wer]

WHAT THE FUCK IS ON THAT OLD LADY"S FACE D:

[howarewesocool]

what the fucks on that ladys face

[1348andy]

i like how the basketball player is black just to emphasize how this "cool kid" can beat even a black guy at basketball.

[linkinpark96ify]

hehe. if i saw that dude on the ground like that, id poke him with a stick x)

[waveboard06]

someone was definetly high when they made this

[1noObster45]

The lyrics are great, the only thing that isn't great are the growths on that womans face.

[supervhvh]

let's be honest ! the lyrics are dumb.

[NU13NU13NU13]

BLACKS HAVE AIDS, AND WHITES TOO

[ViridZebra]

cloud nothings makes fucking amazing music

their vidoes are fucking epic too

get all there shit you wont regret it

[thesongsformyipod]

The video ruins the song.

[Hasnolifeatall]

im sorry, i was suggested to check out this band on last.fm, and i dont understand what is good about this song at all?!?!? cant stay awake, all the time, heartbeat, and nothings wrong are the only songs i liked and thought were good. someone please tell me why they like this song lol i dont understand

[NeonPsychedelicRobot]

@Hasnolifeatall It's amazing how people perceptions and taste for music differs from one others.

[abcdefghijklmno13710]

that basketball player looks like lebron james

[rednapkins]

i wonder how many drugs went into the making of this video..

[ludvik199t]

WTF is going ooooon?!??!?!?

good song...

[sedg]

He wins for the ugliest pair of hipster pants of the week.

[asmallrock]

Holy shit. AHHHHHHH. Just fell in love.

[yuyamono]

シュール！

[funnychic11]

i wish the vocals were louder. i like it, but i would love it if i could hear his voice more clearly.

[usedfuzzbox]

Like the vid and the tune tbh...

[YouSeeWhatISay]

Dont care for the music video. LOVE the song though.

[91RHCP91]

LOL look at the guy on the right with the mask at 1:05! ahahha

[Ste0wnz]

Watching this when high. It has so much meaning man..

[BushwickBiII]

@Ste0wnz hah same man

[Ste0wnz]

@BushwickBiII

heh heh heh you know where I'm coming from ;)

[Mrslimdeck]

パワー＝power

[HighDefDownLow]

Qp0wer:: The majority of me thinks your jealousy knows no bounds, the definition of narcissist eludes you.

[FootDanielLight]

@HighDefDownLow Was that a piss take? The video is undeniably pretentious, though at times interesting. I would argue that it was the product of an introverted mind.

[qiqimaster]

@FootDanielLight how is this pretentious?

[darlingnose]

my iTunes says I've listened to this song 268 times... it doesn't know about all those times i listen to it on youtube. shhh!

[izbeebella]

Just this summer they had noo videos on this song. nothing. and now, theyre everywhere. i love them. <3

[Thypivotmaster]

Fucking hipsters.

I still like it though.

[Tucknrollgrampa]

Song: great

Video: opposite of great

[richmelvin]

Cloud Nothings is the new Strokes, put that in your pipe and smoke it

[postmonoise]

@richmelvin how can u dare

[IrisElizabethWeller]

Can i please marry the nerd scientist kid like now?

[andyanyd]

Just sounds so good.

[SnkJakson]

terrible clip

[juliasreichard]

I don't know whether I love or hate this. But it certainly made me think. A win, in my eyes.

[TheBonneMaman]

The best you can get for that kind of money Mr. Baldi probably had when making this video. But listening to this songs and those others on "Turning on", watching the ease with which he spits out hooks on us, he's already there with Malkmus, Pollard, Mould and all those others respectable songwriters, no question about it. And it will only get better.

[Squire99990]

Ugh, another song stuck in my head....

[mylifeof]

This image is very strange and interesting.

パワー＝power

神聖なたわごと！＝holy nonsense

勝利！＝victory

[samuraikill]

Imagine watching this while you're high.

[HugeZimbobwei]

@samuraikill Just do it.

[ricesociety]

The black dude is a fuckkkkkkkking jerk. Asked to split a taxi from Manhattan to Brooklyn with me, and then when we got there said he had no money and made me pay.

Get some money and some manners.

[morrisdracula]

Dylan Baldi is a genius seen Cloud Nothings open for Les Savy Fav in Glasgow- Tim Harrington was down the front checking out the CN's and was getting totally into it

[mrjoshweidy]

This excited me greatly and irritated me deeply

[mdm5995]

i was waiting for the intro to end until i realized it was one minute into the song

[swinsontinson]

Wow, he invented a machine that could beat niggers at basketball. Fucking Brilliant.

[147nikeking]

@swinsontinson Damn bro is that necessary?

[jamessalford]

3> 3>

[MKultrapro]

I can't figure out what they're singing!

[cruzgonzalez182]

its alright.

[gnartwoDtwo]

This video is a masterpiece!!! What are you all offended about?

[spliter227]

help me get to my home planet,hahah that's awesome

[moneybeans]

I love this video. I don't understand or care to understand about what the fuss is all about.

[MGMT85]

I love this song but i hate the fact they had to mockingly reference MGMT's Time To Pretend music video at 2:04...... Makes me mad. Haha but all in all its a good song, but they totally messed up by mocking MGMT haha

[patty0444]

you know whats weird i can't find any lyrics to this song?

[XKatiemiller]

@patty0444 SAME! It's really annoying!

[Indymusicisthe11]

they need to mix the voice better too the rhythm

[Tucknrollgrampa]

Song is pleasant. Video is despicable whether or not being serious, ironic, or mocked. 

[gavmazterj]

Those sweatpants should be illegal, but killer tune.

[seecarckiss]

is it not suppose too be a bit pretentious hence the name hey cool kids is that not the point or is that just my pretentious mind ..either that or ive been licking too many stamps again

[gnartwoDtwo]

this video is genius

[nickeldog12]

i think the pretentiousness was on purpose. just look at the title. people try and look cool. and its just ironic that the video tries looking so cool by indie standards. and even if isnt on purpose, i think the song makes up for it. by far.

[TheAmazingReise]

@nickeldog12 The nerd beats the jock in this video. simple as that

[Hasnolifeatall]

@nickeldog12 OMG HIPSTER IRONY!!111!!

kidding =P

[BlackMarketMedia1]

It is pretty pretentious on the OD'ing of hey I'm indie. Kid cudi & his whiney ass "night terrors" approve.

[solidotaku]

PAWAA

[tagmandan]

LOVE THE GUITAR RIFF

[TheYellowTrousers]

I like the song but the pretentious indie vibe ruins it.

[irotinmyskin]

i just got instantly hooked on this song...and i love the video...its soo cool...

[igotkiwi]

The riff looks a lot like the chorus in Chris De Burgh's Spaceman came traveling...

[shuttledik]

This made me start listening to Archers & Polvo again! GEEZER LAKE!!!

[AndrewSkyMusic]

Incredible song. Been on repeat for awhile now.

[ihaveblink]

Another band that hides behind a lo-fi "aesthetic" for their sound. Come on guys, this is getting old.

[EmphaticallyJack]

@ihaveblink Dylan Baldi wrote, played and recorded all the songs by himself: "When I was recording the record I only had one microphone, but luckily that's what people want to hear right now so it worked out okay."

[shuttlebill]

@ihaveblink what's wrong w/ old?

[kingpinnewzealand]

mole lady !

[Helenuuuuuuu]

like the song :)

[hellnose]

love it.

[jtaggueg]

funny

[doubleknavery]

is this the official video?

such a catchy riff

[Qp0wer]

Half of me thinks this is awesome, but the other half thinks it's a pretentious piece of shit.

[SuperWestSider]

@Qp0wer I feel the same thing dude lol

[gavmazterj]

@Qp0wer That might just be the best comment ever...

[RoyMM46]

@Qp0wer il take ur 1st answer....dunno how it could be pretentiouss??? it is what it is...its not trying to be anything else

[thedeadmelon]

@Qp0wer Eh I don't know. I mean it's a video about a goofy kid making another goofy kid into a goofy robot. And then playing basketball. I think it's funny. It's not like it's trying to make a statement, it's just funny, friendly and weird, ya know?

[BreakbeatTiki]

@Qp0wer

lately there are many bands that seem pretentious but have at least 2 songs that nobody can deny they're too good. ignore how they act or look and you'll start to enjoy music more than ever.

[Qp0wer]

@BreakbeatTiki oj don't get me wrong the music is amazing

[BreakbeatTiki]

@Qp0wer yeah, i'm sorry. don't know why the hell i made my point as a response to you :B

[shinyalbert]

@Qp0wer

what is pretentious about it? they're just goofin' around

calm down

[ahadss]

@Qp0wer id go with "a pretentious piece of shit."

[TheSigp220]

@Qp0wer i like the way you think.

[alexbtw]

@Qp0wer Pretentious, Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed. Somehow a video with a robot playing basketball is pretentious. It's just good fun, even the song is sarcastically taking the piss out of 'cool kids'. How can you call this pretentious, seriously?

[shnitzit]

@Qp0wer 5 years ago I'd say pretentious but nowadays I have to just calm down and appreciate anything with a creative concept. There's a robot! and he...plays basketball.
