Remember when brockhampton was that mystery group and we only knew Kevin. Now we love every member for their own quirks and follow each project since they're always consistently creative. Good shit
“My name is Roberto and I am going to be your narrator for one hour. Enjoy the spectacular. In some place in Van Nuys, it was the last time they saw each other. An American tragedy. Helmet Boy and Summer.”
GOD PLEASE TAKE ME BACK TO WHEN THIS DROPPED PLEASE I MISS MY OLD LIFE PLEASE I MISS THIS ERA I MISS DISCOVERING THEM IN THEIR PRIME. IDGAF IF I WAS DEPRESSED I DONT CARE. THEY MADE IT ALL BETTER PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
If you're a fan of Kevin's past work, you know that these are basically visuals to American Boyfriend. Example: In the track "Seventeen" off of American Boyfriend, Kevin raps, "Football pads become a memory". Referencing Summer's image (Played by Nick Holiday). Im telling you, listen to American Boyfriend again after watching this film. This makes so much sense.
wait so i may be crazy but after listening to team and american boyfriend from the album "american boyfriend: a surburban love story" this is my theory So in "team" Bearface is talking to Evanie who is cheating on her bf who was the white guy at the beginning of chapter 2. In american boyfriend, kevin is in love with the white guy and says that by being openly gay he comprimises the relationship of the boy he likes and Evanie. Kevin is the helmet boy. So basically both are cheating on eachother. But why would she be mad if she did the same thing?
In “Seventeen”, Kevin also mentions “We’d drive through our troubled bubble, screaming at mansions” and it’s exactly what Helmet Boy and Summer are doing in the Quiver part 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Just found out about Brockhampton a couple days ago and oh my god I am overwhelmed. So many songs to go through and every single one of them has been excellent thus far.
Randi Amber the third chapter is called "Memoria En Llamas" which in Spanish means "Memories On Fire" so I guess it's all flashbacks except him blowing up the cars
Helping u out with the translations of the Spanish guy in the beginning, " my names Roberto, I will be your narrator for the hour, Enjoy the show, Somewhere in Van Nuys, This is the last time they saw each other, An American tragedy, Helmet boy and summer."
0:45 BLEACH 8:37 NATION 10:16 Evanie 14:36 Quiver 19:13 Slowburn Helping u out with the translations of the Spanish guy in the beginning, " my names Roberto, I will be your narrator for the hour, Enjoy the show, Somewhere in Van Nuys, This is the last time they saw each other, An American tragedy, Helmet boy and summer." *just to help ppl out as confused as me, these are comments of others in the comment section*
Kim Renomeron correction, evanie was the demo of TEAM and they used that version here, TEAM has the members rapping over evanie while the version used here is just sung by bearface
My take on the ending: so I'm guessing that once Summer throws out helmet boy they break up so the rest of the scenes are just memories.So the fire helmet boy lights in the film are just him trying to spark a memory so when the two cars blow up I think it represents Summer and helmet boy. Their minds are exploding and everything comes back to them,which might mean that possibly get back together. Because in the dream sequence that hold up their hands proudly displaying their sexuality which the could also mean that the white car that they blew that belonged to Summer's gf is revenge on her saying that he's not afraid of her or his sexuality anymore.
i’ve seen this short film at least 30 different times and it always makes me feel glad that i decided to watch it again. i remember when my friend introduced me to SAT 2 just before moving out of my hometown in texas and ever since then, i’ve become addicted to not only their music, but stuff like billy star. when i discovered this around the beginning of 2018, i fell in love. i normally don’t cry when it comes to movies, but this was most definitely an exception. this along with american boyfriend continue to inspire me to this day. i was the saddest person when i moved away from my friends and i felt like nothing. if it weren’t for y’alls music, i would have not had the motivation to come out as bi and pursue my passion for photography and music. love you bh, love you kevin, and most importantly, and ik a lot of people say this about their favorite artists, but thank you guys for saving my life❤️
Yo I love that fact that with you guys I can see actual effort and art put into all your work. You guys deserve to be one of the top dogs not only music but in film too.
Youssef lmao chill out this is not that great and they’re not trying to make it that great, not to discredit it, but they not even close to deserving “top dog”
Mr. Super Fly I never said "top dog", I said "one of the top dogs". These guys deserve to be recognized as great artists instead of the carbon copies that are getting all the praise right now
it doesn't feel like a year since this dropped. so much has happened in between then and now, but the fact that a year crept up on us so suddenly is so surreal to me. anyways, happy birthday, billy star
That's some fucking ambition right there. I love the kind of old Americana aesthetic you brought to this, and I REALLY like the color palette. You turned the saturation way up--but of course--to get some really sharp colors out of these shots. So cool.
The Boogie Nights influence with that tracking shot into the house and back out to the car. My favourite boy band making something special from one of my favourite movies😢 shit is beautiful
I remember watching this when it first came out and I was in high school. It absolutely amazed me I had to have watched it 5 times at the least. I searched for it again remembering how much I loved this band back in the day and came to find that this video has less then one mill views and that absolutely blows my mind. Re release this today and im sure it would explode this is some amazing music, filming. and messages throughout. Thank you Kevin Abstract and the rest of the team at brockhampton for making such great music and music videos during a very rough time in my life!!!!!!!!!
okay so at 18:55 when helmet boy is in whatever (car possibly?) turning on and off the lighter I think thats a reference to steve lacy's "Dark Red" music video which starts Dark Red portion of the music vid with steve in a trunk of a car doing the same thing and then he starts the first like "something's bad about to happen to me" which could be a reference to Helmet boy and his soon demise perhaps idk but I just watched steve lacys music vid and caught it and i thought it would be a cool lil reference!
“we ain’t releasing anything before saturation 3” *releases a 20 min short film and a new song*
Jackson Barada NOT TO MENTION ALL THE NEW SONGS ARE IN THE FILM FUUUUCK 😭😭😭
This the only time some has lied to me and I liked it 😂😂

The way he's riding that bike I can see why the helmet is needed.
ShutYourBlogFace the bike is broken cause she threw it

Remember when brockhampton was that mystery group and we only knew Kevin. Now we love every member for their own quirks and follow each project since they're always consistently creative. Good shit

MATT IS SO CUTE
jennguyen bruh exactly what i was thinking
That first song hits me hard it better be on saturation 3 bitch
Aliya Maria it will its called bleach
Aliya Maria it was
whole movie was amazing, but the sequence @ 11:16 gave me straight up chills dudeee
That's when the idea came to her.
what
Ever notice how helmet boy and summer are mostly in the dark when they're together?
I really do belong in this generation. South Side 1 Direction.
BLEACH song >
This song is too much
Coming back and realizing that Ashlan can actually fucking act
I remember watching this when it first came out and I was in high school. It absolutely amazed me I had to have watched it 5 times at the least. I searched for it again remembering how much I loved this band back in the day and came to find that this video has less then one mill views and that absolutely blows my mind.

Thank you Kevin Abstract and the rest of the team at brockhampton for making such great music and music videos during a very rough time in my life!!!!!!!!!
Saturation III > Revival
feedmetunes honestly, i love me some new Em tracks but these boys are on fire.
How is that even a question
Think Kevin has American boyfriend in his back pocket after saturation III drops?
Obviously
feedmetunes i said that
lmaoooo "that's that prince of darkness shit"
okay so at 18:55 when helmet boy is in whatever (car possibly?) turning on and off the lighter I think thats a reference to steve lacy's "Dark Red" music video which starts Dark Red portion of the music vid with steve in a trunk of a car doing the same thing and then he starts the first like "something's bad about to happen to me" which could be a reference to Helmet boy and his soon demise perhaps idk but I just watched steve lacys music vid and caught it and i thought it would be a cool lil reference!
Lauren also when they are talking about the boom box and the bike idk
re watching this is like seeing it in a completely new light
I LOVE BROCKHAMPTON YEEHAW
i found brockhampton when the heat music video dropped and my life hasent been the same since :) i love you all
