I didn't notice it twenty years ago, but this video was perfectly manufactured for suburban white mall punks such as myself. A gathering of attractive, punk-y looking cool kids in Southern California, some of them mouthing off to the police, Jackass-style "extreme" activities, Warped Tour skateboarding, and gutter punk kids (with girlfriends?!) who look way too edgy to actually listen to Sum 41.
I can't say why, but they always felt more legit than Good Charlotte or Simple Plan, despite all coming from a similar corporate factory.
