Fall Out Boy - "American Beauty / American Psycho" [Music Video Premiere!]
I don’t like confusing music videos and Fall Out Boy’s newest is confusing. It’s cool to watch and the violent plot is captivating, but in the end the whole thing is confusing. Why can’t artists add an explanatory comment on the YouTube description when the video’s theme is confusing? Anyhow, Fall Out Boy premiered last night (Dec. 15) the official visuals for "American Beauty/American Psycho”, the new single from the rock band’s upcoming studio album of the same name out in stores in late-January 2015, and you can check it out in HD below!
Didn’t really get the Syndrome-directed MV but YouTube user Eva Maria Corona apparently did. Here’s what she got: “In my opinion the music box represents something negative (think depression) the boy is trying to smash his problem but ends up romanticizing it and it ends up killing him. And the guys that were fighting the ballerina are parts of him and that's why he gets hurt.”. Hmmm, okay! Could be! Poor kid anyway. Don’t think he deserved to die (?) in that cruel paranormal manner. In the end, the music video has some logic. There’s a “beauty” (girl) and a “psycho” (boy).
What do you think of the video?
