"Subdivisions" is a Rush song often considered to be describing feelings of isolation, boredom, conformity, and sadness springing up from teenage life in the suburbs.
"Subdivisions" was released on the 1982 album Signals. Aside from being a perennial fan favourite and a staple of live performances, the song appears on several greatest hits compilations, was released as a single in 1982, and despite doing little serious business in the UK charts, it gained a lot of radio airplay in Britain at the time. It was also played live prior to its release. Pre-release live versions exist on the internet.
The promotional videos scenes were filmed in the Toronto area. The downtown scenes in downtown Toronto, the suburbs scenes in Scarborough, Ontario, near Warden and Finch. The high school scenes were filmed at L'Amoreaux Collegiate Institute, in the same area. The student that walks downtown in the video is Dave Glover, a student at the L'Amoreaux Collegiate Institute at the time. Near the end of the video, Glover is seen playing the video game Tempest at an arcade, which was reportedly his favourite video game at the time. Info courtesy: wikipedia.org]

I'm pretty sure I'm the only 15 year old girl here...

I'm sure this song describes how a lot of people feel in Canada and America. Even though I live in a small country town the message is still true. I was a nerdy kid in school who didn't have much money or the women but I've always gotten by with the close friends that I had knowing that what my parents taught me about life would be worth more than all the things that the rich people received.

Enjoy it while it lasts. SOPA/PIPA wants it gone.

@idfreak- Wow I didn't know that he was a drama club member- Thanks for the update.

The rhythm is so complex. If I had to play a beat on the drums forever, this'd be it!

@getpoked Being as he is my brother, I can say for sure the lead kid wasn't an actor; just another ignored outcast in the drama class. He did attend L'am and pretty much lived this part for the entire time in Scarborough. Lives a happy life now just outside of Toronto.

My brother was the "nerdy" kid in this video.

@TheBgaddy Not sure that's true.
