Superchunk "The First Part"
Loading...

Perhaps no band was more emblematic of the true spirit of American indie rock during the 1990s than Superchunk, the pride of Chapel Hill, NC. Following the D.I.Y. ethic to the letter, the group operated solely by their own rules, ignoring all passing trends by sticking to their trademark sound -- typified by the buzzing guitars and high, impassioned vocals of frontman Mac McCaughan -- and rejecting all major-label advances in favor of the unlimited freedom afforded by owning their own company, the highly successful Merge Records. Although Superchunk's resistance to the overtures of the music industry may have deprived them of the wider audience their work clearly deserved, perhaps their greatest legacy remains their unwavering dedication to the indie tradition

we opened up for Superchunk way back in the day... what a bunch of stuck up assholes they were. Sad too, cause we were HUGE fans. i still listen to their records occasionally, but it's never been the same since the band acted like total douchebags to me and my bandmates..

Don't forget the camera randomly going out of focus!

The guy who directed this also directed a couple of Pete and Pete episodes, which is the DEFINITIVE 90s show in my opinion.

It's because it was still about the music in the 90s...
Videos were an afterthought.

i figured out the formula for a 90s music video
-quick edits with smooth fades of band playing over black
-high contrast colorful footage of people on their own property grooving and smiling at the camera
-break shit
my gen Y instincts kicked in again
