Very cool video concept. From what I can tell, Midnight Kids asked fans to send in shots of friends being friends in simpler times:
The 4:3(ish) aspect ratio and the home video vibe makes all these pre-Pandemic memories seem so, so distant; I can feel the pangs of nostalgia in every shot.
Just a reminder of what we've lost and what we hope to gain again.
GQ has this handy guide, but if I could describe it, it's like being inside one of those echo-y tropical houses at night with a neon lazer light show and several species of colourful birds bopping their heads to water dripping at 106 BPM.
Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In between the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown
Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone
