Synopsis

Chiddy Bang turn childhood into a surreal playground in this playful video. The duo's oversized heads are placed on the bodies of children, who perform their roles while moving through a series of youthful settings. They eat cereal, skateboard, play on swings and roam around the neighborhood with a carefree attitude. Green-screen effects and deliberately exaggerated proportions give the clip a video-game-like look, matching the song's celebration of youthful energy and its refusal to take adulthood too seriously.

Factoids & Trivia

• The visual concept came from the duo's wish to combine children, green-screen effects, Nintendo 64-era imagery and the exaggerated look of bobble-head figures.

• Chiddy Bang said the video was designed to be silly, funny and lighthearted rather than serious, reflecting the tone they wanted to establish with an early major release.

• The playground and street footage was shot in New York City's Lower East Side, with children acting as younger versions of Chiddy and Xaphoon Jones.

• The track had originally circulated online under the title "Kids," a reference to its prominent sample from MGMT's "Kids." Legal issues prevented the duo from using that title for the official release.

• The video helped turn the song into one of Chiddy Bang's signature early clips. The track had initially appeared on the duo's online mixtape before receiving a wider commercial release.

• "Opposite of Adults" won the Best Video Woodie at the 2011 MTVu Woodie Awards.

• The song's visibility extended beyond music-video channels: it was later used in the Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit campaign and game, helping connect the clip's playful imagery with a broader youth-oriented audience.
