DPR IAN- So I Danced (Official Music Video) REACTION - DG REACTS

[@DGReacts]

Please bear with me while I try to figure this out, HOLY SHIT 😅😁🤣

[@rrrzky]

Okay, theory time: 1. Ian talks about Mr. Insanity representing him in his Manic High. Mr Insanity character is goofy, mischievous, and tends to create chaos. In this case, he stole the key unlocking Ian’s memory. 2. MITO despite his dark and bitter demeanor, still holds a greater purpose to protect Ian from going insane. Thus, protecting the key from Mr. Insanity, preventing what might happened if the door unlocked. 3. The dog in this video represent Ian (maybe), because his eyes glows sometimes, like MITO and Insanity. The innocent and helpless IAN caught amidst war between MITO and Insanity. 4. The ending is spoiler for the next MV, the red doll from MIITO movie part I (Mood). so i guess dancer IAN is back, maybe as a new character (?). He talks about it in IG live recently, MV with dancers and Tim Burton-esque video. 5. The greenman said “They lied to us?” after opening the box that they stole. Is he referring to the monster who stole the key from the ending of Peanut Butter and Tears? The monster also appears in the monitor. And is that the blueberry monster? Are Mr. Insanity and Blueberry monster working together? 🤔 Also, I’m rooting for MITO to win in the end. #TEAMMITO 🌑🐺

[@hyun-ungbae2981]

Excellent Theories and #TEAMMITO Also referring to No. 4 it's not Mood it's Ribbon

[@rrrzky]

@@hyun-ungbae2981 oooh yeaa2, i mean Ribbon, sorry

[@diklazismyname]

I think Blueberry Monster is Mr. Insanity creation

[@sussusamongus6592]

Number 5. The Green is referring to the two pink men whom they met on the teaser, told them about the bank and the key, gave them the gold wig for disguise, and whom they stole the car from.

[@exos1bnetworth]

so this MV is based around the character Mr.Insanity this is his introduction yes! Ian has said he represents his manic high state hence the intense pop of colors & comical/fun chaotic view of the world with the effects and he has a dedicated song on the mitto album so basically this is the “beginning” of mito & mr.insanity meeting the theory is that Mr.insanity is trying to unlock something we think a part of Ian’s mind Mito wants to keep him from opening it which we know the doors are connected to peanut butter & tears now the main takeaway is should what’s behind the door be locked away? Mito is supposed to be a protector in his own dark way which is why he’s attacking Mr.Insanity so who exactly is in the wrong? And yes Ian has a dog called Lori she’s a cutie :)

[@MorePara8]

But is Mr. Insanity the clown god who created Mito or? Cause I thought so before this MV

[@lokijanneck5833]

​@@MorePara8mito and mr. insanity are both personalities, bcus Ian has DID so they both are equal persons living next to Ian. DID is such an interesting condition, you can watch and read a lot about it

[@thirtyred7091]

@@lokijanneck5833 mito and mr insanity represent his bipolar disorder, his low depressions episodes (mito) and high manic state/episodes (Mr. Insanity. He does have DID however so it can still tie in

[@francescafurno8450]

The other comments have already explained how the two characters: Mr insanity and Mito represent. One thing I want to add is that if you are careful you will notice how in some parts of this song quite contrasting musical sounds alternate, for example electronic sound in contrast with orchestral/classical sounds. It is not a coincidence, in fact during an interview Ian explained that when he transforms into Mito (or mr insanity) he cannot remember anything of what he did during that time; but when Ian returns, he sees how his songs have been modified by Mito, who has a tendency to appreciate these orchestral sounds (in fact you will notice that they tend to emerge precisely in the parts of videos where mito is present) This is a cool detail, he’s brilliant Anyway good reaction 🫶

[@timtoe40]

I took the pink guards as Christian's positive CBT actions/qualities/meds that keep him closer to balanced and socially in check so Mito doesn't have to intervene. But when Mr. Insanity convinces Ian to disregard the safety measures, the war starts again . I do wonder if the puppy is Ian's inner child or innocent self.

[@thespianoge]

I love your idea about the pink guards! I think you might be on to something there.

[@daniellehenecia_dprdreamers06]

MITO is, Ian's alter that is his guardian and protector. Which is when he dips into his manic downs leads to his darkest depressive episodes. MR INSANITY'S is Ian's alter that is the high manic state. He wants to enjoy making moments while having fun but is going insane at the same time. MITO was created by MR INSANITY and became jealous of MR INSANITY and was banished by him. These are Ian's alters as he has D.I.D Disassociate Identity Disorder. DPR IAN has a lore that is about the other side if you rewatch MITO the movie there he explains why. Also DPR IAN films his music videos when he's having his dips that cause a manic episode. He's a music visionary but all the self sacrificing for his art would be so exhausting and he has been struggling.He mentioned in his IG live recently. I hope he and DPR can actually rest well now after their extensive hard work on this and many other music videos. As for I just danced M/V another visual cinematic masterpiece and song is incredible by DPR IAN and DPR. MR INSANITY is like a joker character always causing chaos and not worrying about the consequences while having fun! There's definitely a nod to The Wizard of Oz feels when MITO and MR Insanity are having the car chase through Emerald City and the billboard says Come back dreamers. The gigantic statue of MITO as well to a Gotham City reference having MITO protect the Emerald City. Dreamers are DPR IAN'S fans. Also Sin City,Mad Max Fury,and Tim Burton the symbolism and humor like the doll that the green screen guy picks up out of the basket at the end and compares it to MR INSANITY and then throws it. It's dressed like MITO from the Ribbon music video. I really love your channel and amazing reactions with such incredible insights. Thanks so much for your hard work DG.🙌🙌👏👏❤❤❤ DPR IAN EP Dear Mr Insanity is coming out 6th October.

[@ninam4423]

Just a little correction Mito is an Alter because he has d.i.d not because of the Bipolar disorder when you have bipolar you don't have alters your brain is one but not with d.i.d your brain doesn't develop entirely that's why you have multiple personalities 😊

[@ghost.png6]

@@ninam4423 He has DID? :0

[@ninam4423]

@@ghost.png6 yes he does he talked about it on his latest live Bipolar disorder and DID are 2 disorders that comes hand in hand

[@ogkpopper]

Maaan I hope you just watched his IG live, it was so insightful. He explained that this is Mr. Insanity (Not Ian) and in this stage he is in his hi state of mind, but a little too hi. Manic. And also it refers to these lucid dreams he was always able to tap into since he was a child. This is why he is doing whatever he wants and it looks so chaotic, but he said Mito is basically the guardian of his mind once he learned to embrace Mito, so he grounds Mr. Insanity to stop him from going overboard, to keep balance. But Mr. Insanity doesn't like that this fragment of his imagination that he created himself not has the power to shut him down, hence why he is running away and getting into another door. He explained the doors are different parts of his mind he can tap into. It's pretty interesting..

[@blenzd]

Ian does have a dog in real life😂 Ian said that basically this MV is an introduction for Mr Insanity who met Mito. anw i always love your reaction!

[@nobody42_42]

I loved the Supernatural reference!! This MV was just out of this world and there is so much to unpack in it!!

[@zZech111]

Dpr Ian said that he has DID on a live before. It is believed that DID is the result of a traumatic event in the past and Ian stated that he’s trying to figure out what kinda trauma that is via lucid dreaming but, Mito is stopping him from accessing that memory from his subconscious. The keys help him access those parts that are blocked that could potentially have some answers. I’m guessing this MV is a reflection of the ongoing battle between his personalities, one trying to find answers or a way out, and the other preventing that.

[@ish77777]

If this is the beginning of it all and Ian's first encounter with MITO then maybe the MV could show Ian's diving deeper into his conscience, so entering his bipolar disorder, and going so far as to meet his darkest side for the first time. The journey is all fun and games, until he finds the key to another delicate part of his conscience, unknown to him, just like this first world he dives into. It makes sense in this MV that he seems naive and even enjoys the company of the green men. If PB&J was a continuation for this first part, then that is about him kinda realizing his madness and how he learned to live with his emotions/green men (call them the crazy one, fear, depression even etc...) throughout his "episodes". So I Danced is the origin. PB&J one type of episode, what imo is a "high" for Ian. So Beautiful another type of episode, most likely the manic one, or what he calls a "low". Besides finding all of his artistic work inspiring, you can see he did take time to understand his mind and his work might have liberated him from his thoughts. Sorry it was so long, i just saw people on here really taking the time to appreciate and understand his work, it's so nice to have DG doing so too 😅😅

[@gracealtora]

Thank you to you too. Thank you for your hard work 💪🙏

[@chicgeekslayqueen]

This storyline and music video is so amazing I love how candid Ians story telling us and I am so hype for his new project it’s gonna be so amazing

[@Lavenshade]

Aight, things I've noticed- the key..they've had not a key but many keys the whole time - when they do the plan of attack, they consider all the pieces but as they turn around, the MITO piece which they haven't considered appears, as we later see in the bank - at the beginning the car that chases them clearly has a MITO nameplate (u can see it it's on fire) , also at the end the faceless man throws a MITO doll

[@cierrahadley9274]

The DPR squad is so amazing and this video from Christian blew my mind. Such a fan of his and DPR Live.

[@lucija_s5391]

I love how in detail you go with the interpretation of the mv bc usually people just say a couple of comments and thats it. also really glad you're loving Dpr Ian's work bc he really deserves all the attention ❤

[@AEB72112]

Nice one..... but your beautiful brown eyes kept drawing me away from the video!!! ❤

[@BlackDogElegy]

I have a theory as well: I think the faeries/pixies that are floating around Mr. Insanity might be the voices that can be heard talking to IAN in Mood. We never see the voices but in both PB&T and SID, we see them following him around. Presumably, they are always there, even if we can't see them. Hence why they might be the voices in Mood. They were there talking to him. We just couldn't see them.

[@keepre1232]

Hi! I just want to say that I think that the little creatures flying around Mr. Insanty's head are butterflies. I heard Ian mention that in one of his lives. Also, why do I think of such a simple reference? It's because in the PB&T m/v Mr. Insanity seemed to be trying to run from them. Like they were overwhelming to him. I thought to myself, "How could he escape from them? Oh! With a net! He could just scoop them away. " Then I thought about all of the cartoons and comedy shows I watched as a kid. Whenever someone was deemed "crazy " the people from the asylum would come and chase the person around, trying to catch them with butterfly nets! Am I the only one who remembers that? Anyway, I know that the disorders that Ian and so many people around the world deal with each day are in no way a laughing matter. I just wanted to share my thoughts about the butterflies. Also, @BlackDogElegy I think that your theory about the voices talking to and about Ian in the Mito m/v is cute and plausible.

[@anetasz7759]

I know he did IG live before the MV coming out explaining everyting, the whole story but I missed it, hopefully someone recorded it or will do a summary for us on Twt or somewhere

[@morlath4767]

The one thing that I liked was there's a very real sense of time being broken. We have the chase at the start, the "flashback" to the bank robbery and how the chase started, and then the end of the chase. But the way the music is cut has it come across as though there's a chance it isn't a "flashback," but rather his own perception of time being broken. Also, I missed the previous reaction video, but thanks for reading out that comment from your sub who has a different form of bi-polar. As someone who suffers from the same, it helps to hear about others going through it as well as how you didn't call attention to the condition outside of how it helps interpret the music videos.

[@oreochocolate_lavacake9960]

I didn't know that Ian also has DID. This makes so much sense hand in hand with BPD

[@BeatrizRodrigues-bj1de]

I can see many film references here that it almost made me cry. I didn't watch Ian's live (unfortunately) but the man have TASTE, the song and the MV are both amazing (as always). The emerald city from OZ, obviously some SimCity esc flavor, but I can also mention Whatchmen or Tim Burton's Batman vibes. And the green screen man kinda reminds me of The Mask, and all the comedy/action scenes. I'm not saying that IAN plagiarized this movies or something, it may not even crossed his mind tbh, I can't tell it those are really references or just a me thing (just to be safe) but as someone who loves movies I love picking this things up, since DG also mentioned it I thought it would be nice to share. Also uf some else have some other possible references to add I would love to hear.

[@felicianadia6215]

yes he has a dog! Loriiii the cutest of all mini pinscher

[@mirjarko]

The person in this video and last one is not IAN, also this person appears in the other videos, he is Mr Insanity (hence the one trying to close the vault and the hand with the keys, that’s Mr Insanity. He is collecting them all - theory is that each key is a memory and it might seem Mito is protecting those memories.) in the sneak peak you watched saying about “creations”, Mr Insanity and Mito are talking. He created Mito. It may seem he is the one creating the Dead or Alive sign. In that sign it says it is wanted for the murdering of MISS INSANITY. However either Mito killed her or Mr Insanity has incriminate Mito and might have done it as he is going more insane (Nerves). So they’re in a BIG battle.

[@mirjarko]

ALSO you are missing three videos. One is like moodswings into order (I don’t remember) which basically like the sneak peak but there are TWO other videos that are performed by Mito: Welcome to the show AND THE MASTER PIECE (which might seemed he lost Miss Insanity and might make you see Mr Insanity is the bad guy) called BALLROOM EXTRAVAGANZA. The lyrics to Ballroom and lil video are PERFECT.

[@sammygaia]

Whenever Ian releases, i always anticipate your reactions, absolutely love this. The doll that green screen man holds up at the end refrences the MITO movie. It definitely has a tone of humor, for a second he's like "isnt this you" them immediatly disregards it. It might be an illistration of potential similarties bewten MITO and Mr Insanity. But then again, the doll gets tossed so maybe the similaries arent that prominent. Not too sure 😅 always open to your opinion :)

[@bluemingluvpoem97]

So happy with your journey with dpr+ian from the mitto movie to this mv. Christian is such a incredible artist and so happy there are many comments explaining that this the introduction to Mr.Insanity and more if his manic side. You should definitely check out his two albums: Moodswings in This Order (2021) & Moodswings in to Order (2022) Also, some other dpr ian content you should see is “Memories in disorder-Official Mito documentary”(13 min) which explains his first ep in depth and more about mito as well. Then seeing “Moodswings In To Order-Documentary Preview” & Ballroom Extravaganza Mv and both videos are less than 2 mins! It definitely all connects and it will make all sense ❤️ Plus to get ready for his new album coming 10/06/23 called Dear insanity 💚

[@nnd00112]

beautiful

[@msaka167]

heyy have you ever heard of a band called “Palaye Royale”? You should reaally check them out

[@mandasmovingcastle]

legitimate question - in the beginning, the person driving the car isn't The Green, is he? he's blue - unless it's the lighting. is this really a different entity? it's The Green seen in the apartment and thereafter.

[@darvengames]

Nice reaction

[@jisungsguitar]

lol ian does have a dog. her name is lori

[@danimonique8824]

-we’re never done with Mito especially since Mito represents his dips but I also think that Mito and Mr. Insanity are both fighting for attention in a way. I definitely felt huge Sin City vibes and I loved it. I also wanted to know what the puppy represented like is the puppy really there? Is any of the things actually happening and how much is a delusion??
