[Shrek]

An article from a New music express (UK) writer called this the "greatest music video" of all time. Let's observe.

"Cool kids never have the time"

Ironic. You can look at that bald dude saying that and tell he was never a cool kid. He looks like Dr. Evil.

1:03

"We were sure we'd never seen an end to it all."

I find it striking that there are no bl@cks or Mexicoids in the video despite the band being from Chicago. So it must be a song about nostalgia of not having to deal with shit-colored people until Reagan and George HW Bush turned America into a dumping grounds for third worlders.

1:12

The ginger kid thinks he's brave and cool flipping the bird when there's no one there to flip the bird to.

3:06

First clearly non-white person shown in the whole video, and all they did was vandalize his store. White power!

4:05-4:10

The kids try to hop into a vehicle to escape the police, and the Dr. Evil looking dude was in the middle of the back seat, meaning he was probably the mastermind behind it all along! Anyway, he looks way too old to be hanging out with those kids. He must be a perv.

I always thought that " cool kids never had the time", meant they didnt have a watch and never knew the time.

^That is what I think about it. Great song and aesthetics and everything, but the alien looking boss guy singing makes the video quirky. He looks super old compared to everyone else, and it's creepy. And he did end up dating a 19 year old when he was 44, and while I can't cast judgment on someone for doing that when it's legal, it certainly can add context to where Corgan's bowling ball head was at the time.

I always figured it meant cool kids never have the time "for them" since most everyone feels slightly out of place in their youth.

Billy Corgan is from suburban Chicago and blacks did not start moving to the suburbs until after 1980. Black population in the city proper peaked in 1980. The reality is that democrat politicians ruined Chicago city industry and housing. Even black people wanted to escape if they were able.

First non-white person is their guitarist James Iha, and at least they didn't loot the entire store or really chimp out like certain groups do today.

It looks like Billy was in a different car. There is junk in the back window of the kids car and not his.
