In this visually stunning masterpiece directed by the talented Malloy Brothers, Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker don leather jackets and sport mop-haired wigs, echoing the iconic style of the Ramones during their early days.
The video not only captures the essence of the Ramones’ spirit but also delves into insightful interviews about punk rock and their latest song, embodying the rebellion and individuality that define the punk rock ethos.
In a passionate moment during the interview, Hoppus shares:
“Punk is doing what you think is right on your own terms and not answering to anybody else and not letting people tell you how you should live your life.”
The video artfully incorporates subtle nods to the Ramones’ legacy, including a homage to the famous “I Wanna Be Sedated” video and other delightful references that fans will relish discovering.
