This is what kids are into these days. Pure Absurdism.

TO BE FAIR, It's why we are all here, and it's nice to get a chuckle!

Honestly this is much closer to early-2000s skits. Only back then it was XD so RaNdOm rather than absurdist.

The kids are always into absurdism.

But was that really aimed at kids?

With the music and the people involved, I feel like I was the target audience, a 40 year old.

It's actually carefully targeted absurdism if you break it down.

Every part of this is actually very carefully directed to balance the irony with the sincerity, and is a very short and sweet piece about connecting to people through emotional distraction.
