Imagine being that 13/14 year old that emailed Jim's parents computer and birthed this monumental track.

Jim looks like a mix of Tom Delonge and Jim Carrey

Tom Delonge was my first thought, when I saw him and the guy beside him looks a bit like Mark Hoppus 😂

I think he looks like that guy 'oz' from american pie. Might also be because they have the similar curtains fringe cut.

This is exactly what I think and not able to explain.

Your band is one of the kindest and best rock groups in the world. God bless U forever!

Jim has the best humor.

imagine one of the worlds biggest songs being written FOR YOU and ABOUT YOU

See I feel exactly the opposite. The ones that come easily are always the best ones for me when I write. It’s the one I work on for a month that ends up being weak. Love ya JEW you’re a HUGE influence on this album I’m working on!

I love JEW and The Middle (and many of their songs) is on constant play via Spotify.

I too very much have an admiration for the Jews and the classic rock song titled " The middle"

Isn't it weird how, as an outsider who doesn't really fit in, it's still very hard to fit in with other outsiders. But I guess that's the point. To not fit in. That's what an outsider is, right? A misfit. I'm really frickin proud to be a misfit. I never wanna be cool.

hes so cuteee ugh

I think ultimately we all go through feelings of not being accepted, or hurt because of rejection, or felling hurt for not fitting in or not feeling normal. For such a simple song it has such a powerful message. I'm really glad they made this. I think it therapeutic for a lot of people

I owe it to guys like this for getting me onto pop rock/pop punk and off of stupid Hot Topic metal (BVB, BMTH, AA)

would love to share a beer with these dudes

I saw these guys opening for mychem in March. They were absolutely amazing!

Simple and yet, excellent execution.

Great song.

Absolute classic!!!!!

At around 2:20, Jim basically calls out the bullshit about how a large chunk of the music industry is churning out "punk" nowadays that is totally corporate, overproduced, and as un-punk as music can be. Or at least, that's how I heard it.

still rocking that 90's haircut lol...

NME, please do the album story of Clarity

the end took a turn LOL

3:02 Corey Feldman and Christian Bale's son

Adkins was actually very photogenic this whole time. Who knew? He was always a lyrical genius, but in the waning days of the boy band fluff - if he looked like this then, they'd be like Maroon 5 except not terrible and objectively great. Guns & Roses in the sense that everyone could agree were great, not just hardcore fans. Better, I personally liken the Guns & Roses sound to the torturing of an alley cat accompanied by a piano thrown down a couple dozen flights of stairs

So it's like you want something or whatever that's hard to get and you get it but you don't deserve it because you didn't work for it?

They didn't really tell a story of anything lol. Like at 2:03 Jimmy is talking about the band's emails and commenting on punk people saying "you dont want to be friends with them anyways" lol love how this gives me so much insight on what they put into the song, inspirations, how they got a certain sound ect... haha :P

Its about that girls that wrote him email about his problems( any student that have problem to fit in) he sings about its all right to not fit in or beein outsider, couse you dont wanna friends whose want you to change ,, you r All right,All right,,. Basiclly its about one part of your life when you feel deep in theese situations IT doesnt need to be Scholl, work or anything, its just about feelin beenin misfits becouse thats what we do as Punk Rockers, we does not fit. Thats our way

you da best

I knew someone must have got too excited in there lol

Jimmy eats carrey

:)

How do You feel about Kelly Clarkson ripping off this song?

Dear punk tweenie, whoever you are: thank. you.

Did the girl ever reveal herself? Just wondering

2:53 it was a fun video. A bunch of kids supposedly representing underage kids having softcore porn... What great times. Whoo. Yeah. (horrible).

Pixar me rechazó

Couldn’t hear a word they said cause the song is good and it was too loud witch made it distracting. Hope you learn something from this comment cause now I have to watch the video again just to try to hear what they were saying. Bad production.

The video to this song is dumb and unfitting, and I am not a Jimmy Eat World fan per se, but I love this song and its lyrics. 7th grade...!
