Arcade Fire - In The Backseat (HS Music Video "In the Backseat to Stereotypes")

"Parents have an enormous influence on children at a young age. People may develop into different stereotypical types of people. Yet, let's remember that deep down we are still the same child. While people may classify us based upon our appearance let us not take a backseat to making generalizations about others. It may be a shock to see how others interpret us. Leave behind stereotypes and realize that we are still the same innocent child underneath it all."

This was a video created back in High School for a sociology class. It plays upon Cooley's looking-glass self.

i can appreciate the attempt, and if it weren't for the fact that the song had such a deeper meaning, i'd say it was a good video. but given that the song is about regine (the singer's) mother dying, you're just totally undermining the severity and the deeper meaning of the song and shitting all over the fact that this is an elegy to her lost mother. given that, this video just makes me angry.

great song, horrible video.

I feel obliged to revise the comment that I left here a couple years ago, now that i've (hopefully) become slightly less of an intolerant douche: while your video doesn't necessarily match up with the emotion I get from the song, I commend you for expressing your own interpretation and I apologize if my old comment hurt your feelings in any way. good day to you and long live Arcade Fire.

[SethRushing89]

Good video but I didn't see it match up with this particular song but I got the meaning this song is one of those songs that makes you think but great video great editing nevertheless

[amazingsierra]

The video is good but doesn't fit the theme of the song at all.

White kids need better things to do in their spare time.

Thanks for the nice comment :) It seems ever so rare in this online realm of anonymity.

I made this video back in high school, just me, my camera, some friends and neighbors.

Cheers!
