This guy isn't a video editor, this dude is Game Theory for music. He just uncovered the whole lore in this song.

Spitfire fan... god bless you! hope edm retirement house is treating you kindly bahaha - you're so real for sticking with porter through the years

This isn't a reaction anymore, this is a lecture to video editing and cinematography 😂❤

I respect how you know Porter well enough to not be like "this is a huge change in style" you literally say it's very much his style which I totally agree with. It's a different sound, sure but it's totally in line with his style. Also your take on it being about fans is exactly what a lot of fans have been saying as well

Glad you liked the video Josh! Appreciate you picking up on all the little details 🙏

I love that Porter’s first two videos have been “It’s not me, it’s you,” followed by “It’s not you, it’s me.” Except with WAY more depth than that. 🙂

The piñata metaphor with the cartoon Porter shaped candy you see at the beginning and the end is wild lol. His fans consume his music, merch, fan-art etc, he consumes their minds, their praise, obsession etc. The cycle is never ending. This may be my new favorite music video maybe of all time. And the song itself is insanely catchy. It’s nuts.

bitbird is the record label that San Holo founded

I love that you broke this down on such a technical level! Things that were made on KZfaq or just the online space in general, a place where you can freely pause and zoom in and go frame by frame, stuff like this NEEDS to be appreciated as much as it can.

9 hours of explaining porters music... absolutely would ☺️ So obssesed with his production and music since Worlds 💜

Hey man, some really cool insight on camera work! Enjoyed that reaction a lot. The fact that you know Bitbird (the label) is awesome!

love Porter! was pleasantly surprised to watch this today ❤

SO GOOD this was the extended version i needed of the cheerleader video lol

you touched on it a bit but I really think rewatching through the lens of how the internet has become an insane part of being a musician or visual artist and the conflict that poses to creativity is what this is about, like you love the connection but hate the attention in a certain way, the part where he says do I wish her the best or actually miss her (in regards to old internet) vs the part where she's saying if you're not mine I'd rather watch you burn alive hit hard for me as a fellow musician

Og porter fan, fellow raven claw and a fellow editor? Hell yeah!

Thank you for this video, you helped me see and understand some details and now I appreciate the music video even more!

I have that exact same ravenclaw shirt haha! Love the reaction to this great song :)

This was an awesome review/react! I only noticed one inconsistency in the editing which is the cabinet drop at 10:30 and it showing standing at 10:34/10:37, but down at 10:42. Definitely a nitpick, but this song/video is a modern masterpiece.

Absolutely love this song! I’ve been so impressed by how creative and cool this music video is too but I’ve mostly found people discussing the music. It was really great to watch you break it down and appreciate it! Love that you love Porter too. It was neat how many times it looked like we changed dimensions but then found out it was all set within a set within a set. I think the part I’ve been most gravitating toward lately as I continue to replay the song and rewatch the video was the first appearance of the cheerleader in the hot air balloon head with the heart eye binoculars. The motion there is so fluid and satisfying to watch!

Nice reaction! The camera trick in the beginning is called Dolly Zoom btw 😝

best reaction i've seen!

I was amazed with that hand through the screen effect when I first saw the video I’m glad other people also thought it was cool

This dude a Og damn

this video is my modern day bible

Another Porter Robinson music video released just a day ago (Knock Yourself Out XD) Personally I'm liking that song more than Cheerleader, but I love the music video for Cheerleader more.

2:10 I think this technique is called a "dolly zoom". Vsauce did a demonstration of that in one of his videos as well watch?v=Y2gTSjoEExc

Wait… are you a ravenclaw? You give Hufflepuf vibes 😂❤

Hi Josh ! First, excuse my Bad english... Your videos are great and very interresting ! I subscribe today after showing your react about Black Pink. I'm french and if you want to discover a french song (but the singer comes from Belgium), i have an Idea for a next video. The song has lot of views since 2013 (i think) and many youtubers have react, but nobody talk about the visual effects or technical point of view. And it could be great to have your professional opinion. Tell me if you are interrested. Rachel.
