Hippo Campus - Why Even Try (Official Video)

[@wusspoppin7873]

can we just appreciate how u can press pause at any moment and get an amazing computer wallpaper

[@anikag.5430]

feels like we only go backwards by tame impala vibes

[@jethrosketch]

I've actually done this haha

[@ImABeASttChannel]

so true, if you have any wallpapers from this video, please share!

[@eliseolara5055]

You sir are very creative

[@raygreen2134]

Notice that as the song progresses.. the visualization of himself disintegrates as he sings.. "on and on the feelings burst and then they fall.." his reality destabilizes as he spacing out. Just Beautiful. A Masterpiece.

[@froggyqueen04]

hippo campus is actually a part of the brain that holds memories i think.so its pretty cool to see all the frames are full of scribbles and shapes like trying to forget a terrible memory, or trying to remember a really good one. amazing song too really got me in my feels lol

[@MrAmir007Khan]

Exactly!

[@lordbalzamore7692]

The hippocampus is in control of long term memory recollection. When you remember something by how it felt at the time, that's your hippocampus doing its thing. When you smell a smell and you remember another time, that's the hippocampus again. And if you drink enough alcohol, you can actually shut down your hippocampus while you're awake, which means you'll only be able to remember things from roughly half a minute ago - that's where the term 'black out drunk' comes from, even though you aren't literally blacked out. Anyone who's been on a successful pub crawl knows the feeling.

[@minnarion]

This really speaks to the depersonalisation and obsessive thoughts I experienced when my long term relationship fell apart in the end of last year. Thank you so much for this.

[@mini43070]

I went to their live concert . Damn!!! They performed perfectly gorgeous!!!!!! Full of energy and passion .

[@o0oHowlo0o]

I totally agree! They are so good live!!!

[@mollykeep9884]

Schools got me tired af now im going cross eyed with these colours. Worth it 😍

[@youtubedrifter5594]

Marry me

[@thejaustin]

This song captures the feeling of depression and giving up so well. Especially after a relationship gone haywire, this song can continue to pull on heartstrings and bring back memories, yet still bring me to put it on repeat. It's deep and I wanna know one thing... Who hurt him?

[@michael.snavely]

The aesthetics of this video are parallel with my mind when I ask myself, “Why even try?” My mind becomes scrambled, but out of it comes beauty and clarity, however paradoxical that sounds. Yay a masterpiece!! 😍

[@Magicbanana987]

You ain’t deep, Snavely

[@lilsquirt6842]

Colin Evans catfish and the bottlemen

[@venessaixion]

I'm agree with u

[@mid-sizesedan488]

Paramore is!

[@greenbean359]

I found this band through a friend and fell in love with the sound. But now we're going through a rough patch and listening to these songs feel like a punch in the gut.

[@kloff9405]

It's the same for me. I asked a friend to listen to them and that person loved them and there music but now we are not friends anymore and we did not have a good ending at all so i feel you. I hope you and your friend get well through it.

[@HINAYUTA]

If you like this type of music, may I reccomend. Half•Alive Catfish and the bottlemen Valley Glass animals Grandson Ollie MN Hobo johnson Genres you might like: New alternative/New alt Alternative pop Alternative rock Alternative indie Alternative R&B R&B Ambient Jack stauber (yes this is a genre in my eyes) Good songs to start with from artists/bands previously mentioned: Still feel: half•alive Park bench: Valley Longshot: catfish and the bottlemen The other side of paradise: glass animals Blood // Water, stickup, best friends: grandson (couldn't choose just one, their music is bomb af) Song for the sleepless: ollie mn Again, cant choose just one, all of hobo Johnson's songs bop Thanks, love you bye

[@raygreen2134]

thank u

[@em_elle3837]

i already listen to half•alive and glass animals lol i guess it was meant to be

[@StrawRaccoon]

I would add shoegaze as a genre

[@raygreen2134]

Yeah this has shoegaze vibes.

[@ellie-qj4qo]

THIS IS SO GOOD ok what’s so good about this is that everything is explained through bursting, flashing colors and the chaos each color creates it's honestly so clever and beautiful

[@poisonaga]

Favorite from Bambi ❤️ Beautiful mv fitting the song perfectly.

[@ghislainenatividad2138]

Every single second of this vid is so aesthetically homey

[@Primalstrawberry]

[@RS-su3br]

i can’t express the gratitude that I have for you guys. i have been listening to you since 2015 and honestly, you guys help me out tremendously. I’ve recently come out of a 5 year relationship and your songs pull me out of moods that I didn’t think I could be pulled out of. thank you guys.

[@midnightthoughts8519]

This is what my mind looks like when I listen to music, overthink about depressing crap because I'm a depressed mess of an excuse for a human being, or when I have fun with friends. It's messy, colorful, and full of fun or depressing blotches. I like closing my eyes and watching my imagination drift off. What I think about isn't concrete. They aren't distinct shapes and people, but rather a full mess of shapes and colors that morphs into people, and then collapses in on itself at 100 frames per second, leaving me with nothing to imagine but the beat of the music I listen to because thinking and focusing at one thing is often difficult for me. I'll be thinking of everything, and my mind gets tired enough to finally relax and just bring out shapes and colors that matches the music. I'm sure this is a normal thing for other people. Imaginations could never be as vivid as Jake the dog's. It was trippy watching the video because I would've imagined something similar if I only listened to the audio. I know this is completely unrelated to the song. I like this song. It's nice and the video goes well with the music.

[@jesslyn8917]

Midnight Thoughts you’ve described mind. that’s amazing.

[@nicodifictional540]

I hope y'all are doing okay, I know depression's a mess but speaking from experience when I say it's not impossible to get better. Take care of yourselves.

[@midnightthoughts8519]

@@nicodifictional540 I feel embarrassed to find myself reading this comment again. I don't know what was going on in my head when I wrote it. I'm pretty much fine. I'm working on trying to fix myself. But I do hope that the rest of the people relating to me are getting better though. Or at least trying, with some help of course. I appreciate you taking the time out of your life to leave a reply. It means a lot.

[@aliceeex]

They are so good and deserve so much more recognition

[@jethrosketch]

I love how most of their videos are works of art... Reminds me of what alternative music videos used to be..

Can’t believe I just used to brush over this song. It’s so lovely and sad at the same time.

When I forgot you, you came to mind Every trouble, back in your eyes and It's all cyclical, so why even try? Why even try to change? You're yourself way more than I am Being friends was in the palm of my hand But I let it fall and break, so why even try? Why even try to mend?
