I think about this clip like 50 times a day sex supremacy lowkey like it's such a well articulated glimpse into the mind of a teenage boy. Everything about that song contributes to telling the story, down to the fucking musical structure. Like what do you mean there's a breakdown where a chorus should be because the protagonist strikes out and it's musically implied he's frustrated and jerking off, what do you mean because he was denied sexual gratification the listener is denied the musical gratification of a traditional chorus??? What do you mean the first time "she's got a boyfriend anyway" is said, it's the actual love interest character saying it, and every time it's repeated in the song it's the character having to remind himself what she said, meaning the protagonist learned that information at the same time the listener did??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN HI-TOPS, SKINNY JEANS, TONGUE PIERCINGS AND FIT FRIENDS ARE ALL THINGS THAT SIMILTANIOUSLY MAKE A PERSON ATTRACTIVE BUT ARE ALSO EXCUSES NOT TO FUCK THE PROTAGONIST. Hi-tops and skinny jeans are literally known as cock block clothes because they're hard to take off, if the tongue piercing is fresh she's not kissiing you let alone sucking your cock, and if she's got a bunch of hot friends then that means 1) you're never alone with her 2) all her friends have boyfriends anyway so they won't fuck you either, but the 1975 manage to say all of that in as little words as possible. Like fuck it's just an insanely concise song, I think it's one of the best of it's genre, that like 2008-2015 indie pop/rock england had going on.

I remember in some other interview matty was talking about how they almost didn't put the song on the 1975 debut because it's so juvenile but someone said "then record it like 20 year olds" and they did. The production is retrospective but the poetry remains a snapshot of him at like 17. This song is so straight forward but that's the point, there's no fat on it, everything is exactly where it needs to be it's the kind of song that pisses you off because you haven't written it.

IM SO PISSED
