# Murderous Children Music Videos 'The Greeks' by IS TROPICAL Features a Cute Kid Killer By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-03 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-greeks-by-is-tropical References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/kids-battle-kids-in-music-video-for-the-greeks-by-is-tropical/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:) The music video for 'The Greeks' by IS TROPICAL is making me seriously reconsider my ban on music videos. The video is easily one of the most original concepts around, following a group of children as they shoot it out in a violent gun battle. The children use everything from [NERF](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mrbeast) guns to their fingers to off one another left and right. There are tons of death and gallons of blood in this video, but it is all animated in a [cell-shaded fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terminator-zero) that makes it look less appalling and more appealing. The actual song is also pretty catchy, but you will probably have to watch the video twice, as you will be too distracted watching the children kill each other the first time around to catch any part of the song.
