Ever since “This Is America”–the new single and video by Donald Glover/Childish Gambino–debuted last week, it has set the internet aflame with serious think pieces and a surprisingly large amount of Fortnite-themed memes.
But the most compelling thing about the heavily symbolic video is how eerily well it syncs up with Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe.” Finally, the bubblegum pop anthem gets the accompanying violent imagery it’s so sorely needed.
The video was edited by YouTuber LOTI…so thank you for that.
