"Do not be afraid, child. I have attuned my shifting 4-dimensional form to the vibe of 1980s puppetry."

[@azraelus1]

Ancient One: "Aaannd they've gone insane again. Damn."

[@ab.6223]

*is more afraid but can't look away*

[@reverendbluejeans1748]

ITs disturbing

[@tealightuke]

ah yea it's kicking in now.

[@Koffieleuter]

🍄

[@BREDNBUTTER]

I love how the new music sounds the same as the old stuff… not in a boring way… but in an authentic, familiar, nostalgic, quality guaranteed way. I’ll never forget the first time I saw Feel the Pain for the first time on MTV. Been a huge fan of DJ and J. Ever since… rock on.

[@thomasborges4216]

Sounds just like them in a great way

[@throbalot]

It reminded me of Foo Fighters

[@eliasmg9144]

This might be my comfort album of the year

[@laeonflux]

What in the Fraggle Rock, Eureeka's Castle, Space Muppet apocalypse is going on?

[@dustyoldhat]

AI

[@shawnwilliam466]

😂 true

[@MagicCarpetRideShareProject]

Ha, thank you that kinda prepared me for this super trippy video. I definitely wasn't prepared for this ; )

[@LCOmusic]

I don’t know but I want to befriend all but one of these creatures (looking at you, 0:14)

[@velosoul7395]

😂 Jim Henson on acid

[@BirdDogg]

The first time I heard Jr. I drove 80 miles to the music store to buy the cassette. Hearing your voice again made me bawl. Thank you for being here

[@Thinginator]

Listening to this as my dog slowly dies of old age and health problems. Goodbye old friend. You will be remembered.

[@mattrennie6876]

😢😢

[@SUNND0GG]

I watched this on shrooms and now every single one of these characters are my friends

[@Roflcrabs]

Wow you sound super interesting.

[@marcbelisle5685]

I passed on the chance to dabble with the harder stuff in college. I never thought KZbin would be giving it away for free 20 years later.

[@chrisallen8045]

Currently watching this ~5 times a day because my toddler son is obsessed with it. “MORE MONSTERS GUITAR” Been a Dinosaur Jr/J Mascis fan for 20+ years but this is killing me.

[@TheWorldBelow360]

It’s how Cthulu and his mob relax when they’re not on the job.

[@photondance]

Hm. What is Cthulhu’s job?

[@pbabiesinspace6112]

Indeed! They're only doing evil in dreams. While they're awake they party with colorful monsters!!!

[@pbabiesinspace6112]

🐙 🦑

[@Mxxnmuk]

My mom is related to Cthulhu and they do this irl but naked

[@user-wk2ot3oi5v]

😂😅

[@AlmightyTod]

So yeah, I did LSD in the 90's, and the FLASHBACKS are just now hitting me.

[@jaydub5515]

I don't know why this has popped up on my feed a couple times over the last few days, but I'm super glad I finally clicked on it. Wicked cool jams! ✌️😎👍

[@NevTheDeranged]

I feel like there's a 100% chance this video unlocked at least one new phobia in the human collective unconscious.

[@InAHollowTree]

I can't wait until 10 or so years from now when someone comments "OMG, this video scared me as a kid!" 🤣

[@djjjjj]

Sockpuppets!

[@rminkof]

& fetish :(

[@AlBeready]

wait til they get a load of me.

[@foxopossum]

We can hope

[@DuggyDugunder]

J's always so warm and comfortable like a thick old effed-up sweater that you'll never throw away despite how your sister might wrinkle her nose when you turn up in it.

[@inphanta]

This is the perfect description. 😊

[@joeoge9347]

you keep old sweaters, nice. very sustainable.

[@atomictraveller]

you don't even mind if it starts to get some holes in, that only makes it nicer still.

[@reginareviere2517]

you don't let anyone else wear that sweater because it still smells like your dad after all this time... it shouldn't because it's been such a long time but it does and no one else even noticed so you know if you let them wear it, even once, it'll never smell the same again and that'll be just another thing you couldn't keep because you didn't keep it like a secret.

[@frostrootrecords]

Hah I’m wearing that sweater right now!

[@lovingtondude88260]

Still blowing my mind after all these years. You're the best, J!

[@OmegaSMG]

Few days late, but I just found this today. This is a good way to start my 23rd birthday, thank you J

[@peteytwofinger]

happy birthday pal !

[@K.J.734]

Howdy, just wanna wish you a belated Happy B. Day!🎁🍻 🤟🐻‍❄️

[@jaysmartin]

Clicked for the video stayed for the tune 🤙🏼

[@czwirner]

I feel like theres going to be a lot of 4 year old J Mascis fans soon

[@CJ-yk4sn]

Never heard this and stumbled on it stoned and definitely a trippy vid.

[@jonathanporter5223]

Damn yo, LSD is a helluva drug. That being said, I'll have wherever J Mascis is having. Actually, make it a double. Yeah.

[@lixie1]

This makes me happy!

[@hnaku8748]

Listening to Mascis will never not be a pleasure.

[@abundantharmony]

meh

[@360.Tapestry]

he definitely has his own signature sound... not a particularly great sound, but it's got the nostalgic vibe going for it, i guess

[@josephellis4006]

The video does a great job of hiding the absolute Blah that is this song..

[@cnobyl]

Absolutely in love with this video. Its so very cool!

[@AGENTARMES]

It was so grey and miserable outside right now, and I just wanna crawl inside this colorful muppet dream forever

[@-ChromeDome-]

Hell no this shit looks freaky as fuck.

[@phoenixdavida8987]

​@@-ChromeDome-yeah thats a hard no.

[@whiteglitch]

its more like a colorful nightmare 🫣

[@Roflcrabs]

I'll take grey and miserable reality over AI garbage.

[@drewdunn2066]

I've loved this guy for over 30 years now. He hasn't changed a bit. Neither have I.

[@mansideways]

Same. He's like our generation's Neil Young.

[@zdangermou5e329]

I love this comment. ❤

[@neilclarkwork]

I’d watch this as a show every Saturday morning.

[@cmacdhon]

Wow!

[@sloanlance]

Very good song and such a FUN video. I was attracted by the odd cover photo, but I'm staying to explore the channel for the music!

[@360.Tapestry]

since experimenting with psychedelics, i've concluded that human consciousness is just god's ai

[@foxopossum]

😂😂😂 AGREE

[@phoenixdavida8987]

Yup

[@Bryman5000]

The dreams I remember the most look like a.I. videos

[@Otis151]

unbelievable.

[@iarts]

this is soooooo good! congratulations! nice work!

[@AlthosWTF]

Trippy video!

[@zacheryamansfield]

Very NICE!

[@TangleWireTube]

That’s one of the coolest music videos I’ve ever seen!

[@dewaeryadi7776]

Magnifique!!!

[@FoundryStreetJason]

This is the best music video I've ever seen. I love it.

[@lowkeysoundsystem6174]

I think this shit's starting to kick in. 🫠

[@devinkelly5596]

Such life affirming music video!! Thanks J Mascis for the great song!!

[@Don_VitO]

This is my dream❤❤❤

[@TheSlickmicks]

I was going to tpye about how much J Mascis sounds like the lead signer from one of my favorite bands in the 90s. Then I looked it up and learned he is the lead signer. I remember being poor in Northampton and hanging outside Pearl Street to listen to Dinosaur Jr. with a few of my good friends back then.

[@pbabiesinspace6112]

Pretty cool. Like the music, love the video.

[@nashmj]

This is the cutest nightmare fuel ever.

[@maxbrandt6]

It's a Muppet fever dream!

[@earprnOS]

Perfect video for the song

[@foxopossum]

Yeah so good. I know this is a new jam, but yet it somehow takes me back

[@markward4532]

I’ve watched this about 15 times in the last 24 hours, mesmerising

[@anderskardahl1166]

Nice!❤

[@travkatz]

I can't tell you how much I love this.

[@jayshaft3179]

Thanks! I needed that, even if my brain didn't know it.

[@simonecameron326]

Brilliant ❤❤

[@RoboticDragon]

New listener, going through a dive of suggested videos on youtube, the colourful image of this video pulled me in, and I am lad it did.

[@ImmortalIdeas]

That was Hella cooll!!!

[@shroomzzz]

I was a kid who watched MTV from the day it launched up they started doing reality TV. I miss music videos! J rocking this one out!

[@anyatranter5588]

I want to live there with them all

[@David0gden]

Nightmare fuel

[@HelloXiuXiu]

I have found my tribe. ❤ It's always a joy to hear your music, sir!!!!

[@sethdominickortiz]

Going to show my son this Friday when I get to see him again for the weekend. Love that little man

[@foxopossum]

So what did ur son think? Ok just realized you just posted this a few hours ago lol nevermind

[@sethdominickortiz]

@@foxopossum actually forgot to show him and was showing him long legged Larry this last weekend, I’ll try to remember this for this weekend when I see him again

[@jiminyscit-scat7592]

I love this! A parallel to The Wagon vid

[@gabedavv]

pretty trippy

[@JaysonBucy]

The dulcet tones that shut down the dueling dissonance inside my brain and the guitar talent that defined my youth. Thank you for the music J.

[@likecrazyhorse]

Yeah, that just unlocked some old strychnine in my spine

[@seencapone]

Nice -- this is one of the highest-end A.I. generated videos I've seen so far.

[@mdw1977]

J, thanks for ingratiating yourself to my kids. We’ve watched this a lot. Great song.

[@sarahpeterson9422]

This video is so unique and fun to watch! I love this! ❤

[@wisdomlounge4452]

I'm not sure if it's advisable to view this just before going to bed🌝😳

[@NeuralDagger]

Very cool video, love this track, I'm going to listen to all i can now, but i felt this "Matthew Sweet" vibe and that's a good thing

[@nicolatesla2315]

Effing love

[@urdin2242]

Holy shit, I listened to this 4 times before I realized who it was. Damn J. You’re still out here doing it.

[@cobblerama]

That was one of the trippiest AI things I ever dreamed.

[@ks_cerealkiller]

This feels like the dreams I have after eating curry and sour gummy worms before bed.

[@littlepunkpeople]

beautiful!

[@welfaredad]

This is freaking awesome.

[@claudesilverio677]

❤ Oh yes, thats a really fluffy World. Where is my Acid? 😊

[@setpunks13]

Amazing

[@breal7923]

Yeah! Geddy Ruxpin!!!

[@coalblooded]

This is gorgeous.

[@kloimhals9224]

💘I'm Loving it 💘

[@djjjjj]

Brilliant video. Made me want to learn AI video. 😊

[@Roflcrabs]

"learn AI video?" You punch in a prompt, make a cup of tea, come back and it's done. There's nothing to learn.

[@djjjjj]

@@Roflcrabs okay. Thanks!

[@tmseh]

I'm freaking out man.......

[@liamphillips7315]

On the one hand for some who haven't lived been there it's completely off the rails and on the other you've lived it and it's totally familiar, like "Well, hey, my funny friends are in J's new vid, of course they are!" Lolol 🤘

[@lyssums]

KZbin cranked this out to me because of the visuals. I've never heard of this band. I'm not into music much these days. But I stuck it out. Great video. Decent sound too.

[@TrippedGian1]

Dinosaur Jr are alternative/indie rock legends since the 80s and J is the lead singer/guitarist doing his occasional solo gig. You should have plenty to dig into

[@lyssums]

@@TrippedGian1 thanks for the info! I've definitely heard that name before.

[@ingridfong-daley5899]

Same! The visuals brought this to me, but the song was cute & catchy too. Every now and then, the algorithm does me a solid.

[@lamujerbrillante]

what an amazing video!

[@chemistryset1]

These visuals have an Infinite Jest quality about them; i.e. The Entertainment. Incredible, I can't get enough.

[@andypanda4756]

❤

[@justinlowe]

Well, I like this.

[@blackiefitzpatrick6611]

Great tune J!!! (Alec from POTB)

[@SunshineClementine]

Timeless. That voice I know! Hey-daze of it all. x

[@zmaxx21]

I shouldn’t watch this at bedtime since it will give me cotton candy nightmares.

[@EricSmith-fp4gq]

Love your music J. Thank you for so many great songs over so many years. You are a musical treasure. Hidden in our pockets like a beautiful secret.

[@MrNiceguyofficial]

My 3 month old is gonna dig this

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

Brilliant song, J. This is one of the best videos of all time.

[@avoiceinthedark2028]

Love jt, love u

[@teetoys76]

All the Dinosaur art come to life .

[@KNic0lson]

Such a cool music video! I love it! ❤❤❤

[@nancysantamarialatica1141]

Trippy 💚

[@selenawatters4028]

This is so viscerally upsetting. Fantastic work- thank you!

[@PurpleVR111]

J hope you come to Vancouver BC ❤

[@giacomomari4916]

wow

[@Butterlee27]

One bad thing about this is that it ends

[@Uncle_Gums]

If it wasn't for this video this song most likely wouldn't get that much attention
