Explosively Analogous Music Videos

The New Passion Pit Music Video Entertains a Self-Cloning Idea

— February 3, 2013 — Pop Culture
The new Passion Pit music video is highly explosive and fun. Directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada, the music video's plot surrounds a new found hobby by a group of teens. They find a colorful suspicious bag of powder and figure out that upon consuming copious amount of it and eating up a lit match right after, they can self-clone!

This clearly seems like an extremely fun idea to the bunch and they take it up as their daily fun activity, with no regards of the consequences their action may cause- how analogous to almost any teenage pursuit. The teens don't seem to grasp the risk of having tens of of copies of themselves running around and seem to focus mainly on the explosive sensation.

This cleverly analogized music video is for Passion Pit's new song "Carried Away."
Trend Themes
1. Self-cloning Craze - The concept of self-cloning, as seen in the Passion Pit music video, could inspire a trend of people exploring the idea of duplicating themselves.
2. Risk-taking Activities - The reckless behavior showcased in the music video could lead to a trend of thrill-seeking activities that prioritize excitement over potential consequences.
3. Analogical Storytelling - The clever use of analogy in the music video suggests a trend of using allegorical narratives in visual media to convey deeper meanings and engage audiences.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - The entertainment industry could incorporate the self-cloning concept into films, television shows, and interactive experiences to create unique and engaging content.
2. Adventure Tourism - The risk-taking activities depicted in the music video could inspire the adventure tourism industry to develop thrilling and adrenaline-pumping experiences for thrill-seekers.
3. Advertising & Marketing - Companies could utilize analogical storytelling techniques, similar to the music video, in their advertising and marketing campaigns to create memorable and impactful messages.
