So you just gonna disregard the 17 seconds of silence that represent the fact that there was a minute of silence for every student killed at Stoneman Douglas. It's powerful because it shows you exactly how fast we move on from showing our respects to acting like nothing happened. This video is amazing and extremely thought provoking. I hope people aren't just watching it but also dissecting it the way I have been since it came out.

All art is subjective, giving me the right to interpretation. My interpretation is this: He is racist against white people, and wamts everyone else to be, too, making him a hypocrite. Furthermore, the only music more annoying than auto tuned mumble rap is dubstep, making his "music" total garbage. And finally, "Childish Gambino" can be taken to mean "immature thug" which isn't exactly something to be bragging about. I hope he O.D.s on Xanax.

This is why I love Childish Gambino. He’s got some fire tracks, but also tracks that make you think about society and what is going on with the world around us.

I had to replay the music video so many times to catch all of the symbolism and it really hit me hard 😶

You forgot that when the video almost ended when he was just like sleeping but still standing up while doing the fake gun act, it was a 17 seconds of silence for the 17 kids that died in the florida school shooting, soo ye.

After every breakdown, you guys always do it best. 🔥

Thanks for explaining the video

The main thing everyone is missing is the third shooting. It might not be obvious but he tried to shoot a third time. The kids run away and he probably could have got at least one of them if he had a gun. The absence of the gun is what prevents the shooting. I know Americans like to argue that "Guns don't kill people, people kill people", but it becomes a lot more difficult. No one has ever committed a massacre single handedly with out the use of a gun, knives are useless from a distance and you have to be up close and personal, so the victim stands a chance at escape. Take a way guns and murder still exists but drive bys and high school massacres ect become a thing of the past. Also I clicked because I thought Childish was doing an "Official Lyrics & Meaning video", like I'd been waiting for. I don't think he ever will though.

This is one of the most masterfully done videos for a Song that is as much of an anthem in our culture as ever was. In interviews, Glover is very quiet about the message in the lyrics and video. Given the polarization on racism in the US even today, it’s wise for him to let audiences and critics judge it not for whay he says about it, but what they personally can take away from it. All artists want their audiences to feel something, even their critics. This is nothing short of brilliance And our time.

Mega0003000 i think that Gambino was aware of the inherent contradictions involved, and that they can both celebrate and condemn culture, whilst keeping in tension that people are both a victim of their circumstances and, through otherworldly determination, able to overcome that programming somehow. Countless stories attest to this. So it can be both an appraisal and serious pulling-up on an issue, and a making-aware.

I find it mildly frustrating when music artists don’t tell the meaning of their video but I find it better for me and others because we can theorize what it means just for the thrill of making something out.

Personally, I thought the video was about gun violence, and racism in America like everyone else. But then I read a comment on the Insider's video that interprets Gambino as the current "black culture" in America. I won't go too far into detail, but in a nutshell. The man in the chair, and the choir symbolize past black culture. They're killed off, and we're left with Gambino who represents today's black culture as I've said before.

This is an excellent video - really, excellent - for filling in the gaps. I only wish the presenter had delved into the US-specific slang, and especially African-American slang ('Hunnid bands/ Hunnid bands/ Hunnid Bands', 'Don't catch you trippin' up'), a little more. As someone who studies the United States but is not from the country, I think it is really interesting to delve into music like this but because my culture (in many ways) is very different it is often difficult to understand many of the lyrics the presenter glosses over.
