Plaid - "New Family" Music Video

A video created by BOB for Plaid (Warp Records - www.warprecords.com) in 2001. Implements found footage and thought-provoking text.

"... Bob, who is responsible for the blazing visuals at the live shows, the piece is eerily prophetic, and has become a firm favourite of audiences worldwide, one fan claiming that the music uplifted them but the video made them feel nervous and ill."

Great song, great video, but the questions are from the famous Scientology-cult test.

No matter how you answer the questions, you will be considered as a sad person who needs "help", or as we call it Brainwashing. and the theme of this video, is clearly BRAINWASHING IS BAD, and those who do that are EVIL

The message of this video is directed to those who actually feel associated with those questions and gets them to reflect about them.

Those questions are taken from a pychologycal test; probably for employees and, most likely, for a Japanese corporation where they expect to identify employees with problems that may not be fully productive.

Anybody who might feel depressed, anxious, empty, etc. will get the message. Like me ;)

The impact of this video is just incredible. It's brilliant.

@sbdem1986 I'd have to almost completely agree with that.

@PantsDastard Great point this is always what I thought. By the way Bob Jaroc made this video he works closely with Plaid.

I related to about 95% of the questions. That's because all people can relate to these questions, at some point in their life, and other at other points. These are normal things for humans to do and feel. That's why it's a diabolical test. It's mean to make you feel singled out and powerless. It's ridiculous.

But of course Plaid knows that, since they pulled it from the Scientology test. It's probably what the song is about: the images are about leading people astray, harming, or corrupting.
