 Charlie XCX and Troy Savan have finally dropped the video for 1999. Much like the track itself, it is good. Very good. Almost as good as the times you got about 60-plus famous men to cuddle puppies and seductively drizzle syrup on pancakes. In fact, it might even be better, depending on how much you want to rewind out of the apocalyptic hellhole we're living in and escape to the calmer, simpler times referenced in the music video. A time when Justin Timberlake was melting tween hearts with hairlike bleached pubes, instead of frolicking in the woods with a thermos and CGI treehouse. A time when Leonardo DiCaprio's boat life consisted of holding rows close and perpetuating unrealistic romantic ideals, instead of cavorting around soupy yachts with blonde Victoria's secret models. A time when the idea of buying a house wasn't a distant fairy tale, but a very achievable feat if you had a cheat code on the sims, complete with five pools, two tennis courts and a cat symmetry. What? Other notable references include Hot Matrix Backbends, American Beauty Petal Bars and Charli dressing up as Baby Spice and the Spice Girls would say you'll be there, because that is the best Spice Girls video and Baby Spice is the best Spice Girl. Don't at me. There's also... In conclusion, it's the perfect soundtrack to your weekend, Halloween party or existential court of life crisis induced by the prospect of your 25th birthday. Can we bleep that? Just one tiny, teensy issue with the whole track. The bit-and-choice verse when he says he fantasizes about JTT and MTV. Dude, you don't need to fantasize. We're right here.
