Bomb The Music Industry! - Everybody That You Love

Music Video

Wiki

Synopsis

Bomb the Music Industry! frontman Jeff Rosenstock moves through a colorful, comic-book-like seaside world while performing the song. Hand-drawn suns, palm trees, neckties, hats, lyric fragments, and playful guitar effects pop up around him, giving the video a deliberately homemade feel. The bright beach imagery contrasts with the song's anxious portrait of exhaustion, self-destruction, and fear of disappointing the people closest to you. One surreal highlight finds Rosenstock sharing the frame with Iron Man.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was released in late August 2010, shortly after the song appeared as the lead track on the *Everybody That You Love* 7-inch release.
  • Its visual style relies on simple drawn and composited effects rather than a polished narrative treatment, matching Bomb the Music Industry!'s rough-edged DIY identity.
  • The beach setting and comic imagery turn the song's darker themes into something bright, absurd, and energetic instead of presenting them literally.
  • "Everybody That You Love" was later re-recorded for the band's 2011 album *Vacation*. The video is therefore associated with the earlier single-era version of the song.
  • The release reflected the band's unusual distribution model: the digital version was made available through Quote Unquote Records, where listeners could download music for free or donate, while Paper + Plastick handled the vinyl edition.
  • The video followed "Wednesday Night Drinkball" as one of the band's early official music videos.
