Porter Robinson - Year of the Cup (Official Music Video)

[@RegretfulWasher]

The irresponsible mantra “sorry I’m like this” - that line hits hard. Looking into your past and realizing you’ve used that cop-out of a response on people you loved.

[@kqelinn]

no premiere or nothing is crazy work

[@aaaa-pr6wm]

he traumatized from what happened at the last premiere

[@DummyDuckling]

I had to drop everything to watch ir 😭

[@l3monlif33]

@@aaaa-pr6wm wtf happened at the last premiere

[@taphoaAbu]

The premiere existed weeks ago lol

[@Docdoozer]

@@l3monlif33 This music video was leaked during the last premiere. I'm guessing what happened was that this video was set to unlisted but not private. KZbin then decided to autoplay this unlisted video for a lot of people after the last premiere, leaking it before it was supposed to be publically accessible.

[@whyased]

this song is the most underrated from the album, because it feels like a ballad of self discovery and regret. porter cooked with this album and music video

[@edquad2765]

@@whyased I always skip it because of the interview audio. I feel like it ruins the song 🤷‍♂️. That's likely the same reason for other people

[@animekitty6460]

Fr. Honestly, this is the song that resonated the most with me (along with kitsume mason) and led me to listen to this album nonstop.

[@austinjacob99]

Love the interview audio because it pairs perfectly with the sentiment behind the track. One of my favorites on the album for sure.

[@riokshutt2115]

Musically, for me, it feels straight from nurture, besides the samples lol

[@Jeramiahstool]

this song is definitely a grower not a shower

[@idavid8391]

Woah, a new Porter Robinson music video that's never been seen before!

[@ITRNHWithoutThisGlazer]

yeah! i totally wasnt watching the easier to love you mv premiere and didnt click this mv at the end card a few weeks ago!

[@smartyezzz]

shhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@kaselier1116]

The art direction is amazing. If the music video for Knock Yourself Out is SMILE! on the surface, I feel like this video represents SMILE! at the core the most.

[@no0T16]

most accurate comment honestly i agree so hard

[@loominatrx]

This is what I imagined when listening to this song

[@im_NathanSky]

So so true

[@iamsonatiq]

Wish I could like this comment twice

[@gdcolwell]

the piano melody is actually beautiful

[@tomasschiappacassi2401]

It's Porter Robinson, man

[@Cy_in]

This actually might be the reason why im sad. In a good way.

[@AiperaAhn]

Agree

[@thebabigoon]

"You think you'll let people down and divine some perfect apology" is my favourite

[@razyboi]

[@KeaneJ123]

i swear it always said define wtf?? mandela effect or something?

[@unhappyrefrain]

i'm really glad this one got a music video, it's apparently the album underdog but it's the most vocal-forward song on the album and, to me, the most vulnerable one. even though it's not ENTIRELY about alcohol abuse, i personally read it like that, specifically all the embarrassing things you do when you're relying on alcohol to compensate for your anxiety in social situations, and how even if you think you're having a great time it can go downhill so fast. that moment you go a little overboard and then the emotional outburst that can ruin entire relationships or make you feel like an absolute idiot in front of a crowd or in front of your friends. hearing this song for the first time kind of made me confront all the times i had done that and made me go, oh, i can't keep doing this to myself. so it's nice that it's getting the recognition it deserves from porter himself and i hope it grows on everyone else too

[@Wishnstarz]

This feels like a tape you found in the basement full of cherished memories you can’t even remember

[@croatchie6914]

Yeah I think thats definitely what porter was going for.

[@lowelljustice5969]

Year of the Porter 🔥🔥

[@modera.torrent_]

"ALL will be revealed, in 2024"

[@axioms22]

That was when worlds came out at least if you're a real one

[@ColdSouth]

Regardless of how people feel about the Lil' Wayne interview snippets - this is honestly the most emotionally vulnerable song on SMILE! :D, and it deserves its flowers.

[@austinjacob99]

Agreed. And I feel like the interview audio pairs very well as it does a great job at demonstrating the mindset that Porter seems to have some regret about.

[@LefoMusic]

This song originally was originally the “mid song” off the album. At first I was thinking why the frick is there some interview in my Porter Robinson song. But dang, this freaking song grew on me a crap ton. When you really get down to the lyrics you realize how deep this song is. And now I’m singing every lyric including the interview bits xD ❤

[@josiahhums]

something ill always love about this song is how imperfect the vocal take is. pitch corrected to hell and so raw. truly a standout from the album.

[@ashballofficial]

he even said that he had a cold while recording this song 😭

[@aullette]

@@ashballofficial it didn't sound like it damn he's a good singer

[@cloudscape5996]

Exactly i remember saying this to my discord friends

[@unhappyrefrain]

the voice crack on "perfect apology" is one of the most breathtakingly honest moments on an album that really centers the theme of honesty/dishonesty under the eye of fame and i love it

[@Sebb_Music]

Saame it sounds so raw when his voice breaks at "I guess that screaming at my audience works"

[@kominion]

Can we take a moment to appreciate that this is in 480p and feels like ancient KZbin? ahhh I love it

[@neodrags8169]

I love the old retro style of this mv man, brings back late 00s to early 10s vibe. Song and mv are amazing.

[@StillMintTea]

That was 20 years ago, now that you think about it

[@Joshwana]

this song must have been INCREDIBLY fucking hard to write, i can't imagine allowing yourself to be this vulnerable. art

[@aepokkvulpex]

Easily my favorite song on the album. It hits me to my core. Porter's never gonna see this, but this song is what made me realize Porter struggles with exactly the same things that I do. I've never felt so directly understood by a song before. It's giving me hope that the need for validation and the insecurity doesn't mean I'm doomed to a miserable life of fucking up all my friendships and relationships. I'll be alive next year.

[@StillMintTea]

That last line. Perfect homage to Look at the Sky. His lyrics always feel so relatable for sure

[@ky0586]

You threw that last line like a pro , thanks

[@pooby1474]

cant wait to watch this for the first time ever

[@mylomelisande]

Everyone puts this one on the bottom of their lists for the Best to Worst but this is my top song. I just love this song so fucking much

[@edquad2765]

@@mylomelisande I'm glad you liked it more than I did :)

[@Tuppytime18]

Big same! It was my favorite non-single right off the bat.

[@aarkdel]

its my least favorite song of the album but at the same time i understand why it could be your favorite, the album is just that solid

[@musiczheir]

it's a very polarizing track. I had it lower on my rankings when I first went through, and now I've been playing it every day for the last few weeks

[@MyBlogsTV]

It's probably because it feels the most "unpolished" compared to the slicker and tighter production of the rest of the album. It feels more like a confessional piece rather than a song if you get what I mean

[@keiz_]

The Deja vu hits hard with this one

[@dansoddity]

Such an underrated song on the album, man's voice is so sincere

[@StaticSnowTV]

4:12 Porter Robinson analog horror dropped

[@replayarchive8758]

will never understand the flak this song gets. it’s beautiful

[@edquad2765]

@replayarchive8758 The song itself is good. The interview audio ruins it. I'm hoping that a version without it comes out

[@thinecyber_cat]

​@@edquad2765 I feel the interview makes the song better, but I understand why some people don't like it

[@edquad2765]

@thinecyber_cat (this is the same comment copied and pasted from another reply I made, but I think it perfectly communicates my thought process) for me, it ruins the flow of the song 🤷‍♂️. It's also a bit heavy-handed as the lyrics communicate the meaning perfectly fine. If it was just a short snippet at the end of the song, it wouldn't bother me, but it's nearly a minute and a half spread at 3 points throughout. I won't ever disagree that it's good artistically, I see what it's going for and I respect it. It just hinders the listening experience for this song, ESPECIALLY on multiple listens

[@TOMMYx95x]

right? If it's really the lil Wayne snippet that people dont like then that's such an odd take to me. I think its amazing that he put a lil Wayne sample like wow especially if you grew up with rap

[@plaguedyouth]

@@TOMMYx95x after 4-5 listens the lil wayne parts become grating. westwood saying "its none of my GoD daMneD BUSINESS" is so cringe. the original interview was already so hard to watch because of how unprofessional and rude the interviewer is.

[@AnniFrikki]

imma be honest with you, Year of the Cup has been growing on me

[@JimmyMalta]

i know a lot of people dislike the interview snippets in this song, but i wonder how many of them know it’s a midwest emo trope. you don’t have to like them but i enjoy the context they give to the rest of the song

[@bagelforlunch]

It's 2:02 in Korea and I found this upload right before I go to sleep

[@EpiKLyeah]

Cool music video that I've never seen before

[@jwjustjwgd]

I have also never seen this music video 3 weeks ago

[@simbeeotik]

Grew up to Lil Wayne as a millennial in high school. Went to college and evolved into Porters music. Recently been listening to all of Waynes music before Smile album drop.. Then hearing Wayne on Porter was a deja vu moment for me. Goosebumps.. how was that possible.

[@discflame]

this song has the most beautiful piano line on any song I've ever heard. so simple but putting it center stage gives it so much power.

[@AngryDemonBowser]

The raw emotion in the voice, the one take vocals, the piano, the rustic guitar, the heavy hitting lines, the subject and the interview. A perfect concoction for my favorite track on the album. I am so happy that this underdog track, like Dullscythe, got a MV. This is THE slowcook track...and I have faith people will feel that they misjudged it.

[@intrinsic.creative]

At first I didn’t like this song either but when I actually read and understood the lyrics it finally clicked with me and now I really really love it and sing every word every time it comes on

[@Aeerrii]

[@ZachaRed]

Take me back to that early internet vibe Porter, with real people, and not worrying about only showing that "version of me that was safe and sanitized thoroughly". But for now, all we can do is to make sure to go outside, hug your mom, and Smile! :D Things will get better
