This is one of my favourite music videos because god damn, Placebo fans put in some effort here. Why don’t more bands crowdsource their videos more?
There’s some major dramatic fan contributions here, let’s grade them because i’m bored.
I think this guy thought he was submitting this to a 98 Degrees video – F
Is this person cosplaying as Brian Molko? – A+
Does it get more early ’00s than this haircut? All he’s missing is a nose ring – B
This girl filmed it against a moving backdrop somehow – A+ for effort
Points for creativity, but kinda dangerous to suspend recording equipment above a tub of water, no? I have to take points away for that – C
This girl is too pretty and living in a way too scenic place to be participating in this video – D
I think this guy’s late for his Tiga concert – C
How humid is the place where this girl lives? 150%?
Dude looks like he’s doing facetime, but actually singing Placebo in public – A
“Then you really might know what it’s like”
Why is this kid here?? What parent subjects their kid to this? F
I mean this was Tik Tok before Tik Tok right?
This was a good angsty move – I like it.
All in all, solid effort – fans!
This song was also in The OC season 4 episode 1, when Ryan decided to take up bare knuckle fighting in some illegal underground restaurant in Newport (????) after Marisa died in the previous season. No jokes.
