Unofficial music video of "Pumped Up Kicks"



"Pumped Up Kicks" is a song by American indie pop band Foster the People. It was released as the group's debut single in September 2010, and the following year was included on their EP Foster the People and their debut album, Torches. "Pumped Up Kicks" became the group's breakthrough hit and was one of the most popular songs of 2011. The lyrics to "Pumped Up Kicks" are written from the perspective of a troubled and delusional youth with homicidal thoughts. However, because this song was about a school massacre, many dank memers make fun of it as a song about school shootings.

Why It's Atrocious

 * 1) It takes away the song's actual purpose and instead makes it a song about school shootings, and that's how many people made fun of school shootings, just like how they thought 9/11 was a prank.
 * 2) They're trying to be edgy for making an unofficial music video of this song, but it failed miserably
 * 3) The kids hide under a table to get away from the school shooter, but even then, the school shooter would still find them.
 * 4) Some of the kids dance in front of the shooter, which makes them an easy target to get shot.
 * 5) The worried looks on the people look hilariously fake, especially the teacher.
 * 6) There was a girl at the window who got shot, which results in a plothole? How did she get here?
 * 7) It doesn't show a scene where the school shooter got arrested, meaning it's possible he got away. HOW!?

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The song is good, and the official music video is much better.
