An annotated guide to the new video from The 1975
Photo: The 1975 Yesterday, the band The 1975 released a music video for their new single, “The Birthday Party.” The entirely CGI video features a number of new and old memes of all sorts, including Pepes, Chads, Virgins, and goth gfs.
On the left we see Derpina, the female equivalent of Derp, the protagonist of old-school Rage Comics. To her right is Earth-chan, the planet Earth depicted as an anime girl. Anthropomorphizing non-human things and concepts is a long-running pastime of the 4chan crowd. On the other side, the man wearing is a famous picture of a neckbeard, a pejorative for the type of man who spends too much time in their basement on their computer.
In the next shot, we see a series of flyers being nailed up by the incel Virgin. He is looking for a “goth gf.” This is a long-running trope among the 4chan crowd as well, the idea that there exists an ideal woman out there who is a goth . The flyer being nailed up is a real flyer someone put up, almost certainly as a joke. The goth gf depicted is a character from the Nickelodeon show Danny Phantom.
We next see Healy dancing in front of an old-school image macro, a character known as the Basement Dweller. He’s a close cousin of the neckbeard we saw earlier . The Impact font captions in these sorts of memes are meant to be read in the voice of the character in the middle, although that’s not really useful in this case. The top line is the song’s lyrics, the bottom line simply reads “BOTTOM TEXT.
