15. you'll rebel to anything
Mindless Self Indulgence was probably the first band I discovered specifically on YouTube. I originally came across their music while in middle school, but really dug into their albums in high school (notably You'll Rebel to Anything and if, by this point you shouldn't be surprised that I listen to some angsty-ass music).
It wasn't until later in high school that I came across this music video of the title track of
You'll Rebel to Anything. For some reason, the imagery really stuck in my head after nearly a decade of coming across it. Specifically: weird plastic nuns spitting sparks (
0:30); sped up officers practicing flag formations (
1:01); G. W. Bush fliping off the camera (
2:21).
The music video primarily utilizes found imagery (distinctly mid-20th century looking found imagery) that flashes on the screen. So basically that's what I did (gathered found imagery + make a flashy gif).
This is probably my favorite one of my bunch. I love photoshop keyframe animations, it's so janky and cute and stupid.
