This video showcases the bands raw talent. The location is small with a low-key lighting and smoke effects to represent the atmosphere and mood of the song, which is angry and frustrating. The setting appears to be a school gym due to the quick shots of a basketball hoop and the crowd on the bleachers. The band is supported by a large group of teens, which link back to the song title about teen spirit. Also linking to spirit, the band has cheerleaders present in the video, which is a stereotypical American activity found in a high school gym.
Progressing through the video, the spectator’s spirits seem to have lifted as they begin merely sitting nodding their heads and end up jumping on their feet. The bridge acts as a build up to the climax of the chorus that sees all of the teens ‘moshing’ and reflecting the revolutionary attitude of the band. The ‘moshing’ is also in a slow motion to show the raw emotion created by the music.
All of the aggressive ‘moshing’ and jumping, along with the smoke effects and dim lighting, create an angry teenage tone to the video and compliments the bands music well.Link to video
