Music video

The video, directed by Andrews Jenkins, presents a mob of fans destroying a record store with statements about the music industry displayed throughout.

As the video moves along, facts criticizing the music industry and major label companies flash across the screen. One caption announces the video itself cost $150,000 to make, a budget smaller than many major label releases at the time. They state opinions based on the idea that the corporate nature of the music industry is questionable.
