Music video by Pulp performing This Is Hardcore. (C) 2002 Universal Island Records Ltd. A Universal Music Company. - Hudba
What I love about Pulp is that their songs are not just songs with a rythmn. Jarvis acts like a storyteller in all of their songs. They're not making music, they're making stories with a soundtrack. They're almost making movies.
That's true. Only him and Ray Davies can do that kind of art.
And sparks
2 words: The Kinks.

Pulp were the most interesting band of the Brit Pop era.
Pulp and Mansun
Pulp, Blur and Suede
Probably since they started in 1978. :)
Suede are fantastic too
@@cristobalradio Oasis too then
I think this is Pulps finest moment, a work of art.
Todd Robson i dont carw whete they go nectell them al.
agreed
Chris cornell
I agree. One of the best moments of 1990's.
I'd even be so bold as to say that this song is pop culture's last moment: a lower form of art pushed to the frontier of the sublime by a band which inherited some of Bowie's genius and eventually buried the genre altogether. After that song, pop was dead and nothing new was ever to come out of it.
The definition of “eargasm”
If not their most memorable song, this was Pulp's magnum opus. Rest in Peace Steve Mackey.
What a band. What an album. What a song. What a guitar. What a video.
@@martysouth880 what a band. what an album. what a song. what a guitar. what a video.
And for God's sake, what a voice.
what a singer
Possibly one of the greatest music videos ever produced. The song - on its own - is truly epic, but with this video accompaniment, this song becomes truly transcendent. Of course - being a fan of film noir helps.
Reminds me of that film Kubrick started but never made. Just pieces of it exist. Its star never shone. The colors hereat reminiscent of Douglas Sirk too. Jarvis directed some cool videos, I like "On" for Aphex Twin.
This song transcends genres, it's acid jazz, John Bonham thumping drums, Bondesque grandeur, 25 years on I'm still amazed, it's Pulp's Bohemian Rhapsody, it's story telling at its sublime best
I'm a Black Metal fan., but this track is obscenely good.........

The This is Hardcore album is a collection of masterpieces. Beautiful and yet rough. So real and intimate. It's by far one of the sexiest albums ever made. This track itself is like a foreplay, it's all about the anticipation, the build-up before the actual act. It's sex translated to music.
I find it ironic and melancholic, on the contrary.
Correct it is Melancholic. Thats because it's about heroin and nothing to do with foreplay or sex.
@@secretcherio1073 Nothing to do with heroin
Yes, but sex as a one-night stand ultimate fantasy you've held for years with nowhere left to go afterward. Much like how Jarvis thought about the music industry after wanting so hard to be in it since 1978 but then the 'Britpop' years and over excess (including cocaine and heroin) getting too much, with him expected to do his "funny little dance" and regurgitate Common People over, and over and over again, "That goes in there, and that goes in there, and that goes in there..and then, it's over.". See 'Party Hard' for similar feelings by him in 1998.
This is one of the greatest songs written in the last 20 years.
You're wrong. This is one of the greatest songs written in the last 50 years.
Hello Im writing from the future: YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
This was the cultural high water mark of 90's British rock. Timeless. Simply the best.
I need an oral history of this video where director and musicians discuss all the hidden references and inspiration for the lyrics.
An oral what?
@@HandleGF an interview to all people involved in the creating process of the video to understand the movie references. "I went to college, all they found was rocks in my head" is a quote from Douglas Sirk's Written On The Wind for instance.
@@HandleGF and the photojournalist at the beginning could be a reference to Weegee, the photographer of Naked City. I need answers.
OMG yes
I may be wrong, but with the video at least it suggests that a lot of mainstream entertainment is somewhat pornographic. This, coupled with the lyrics, seem to explain a narrator who is jaded by it all, and wants to take things in a more depraved direction.
RIP Steve Mackey (November 10, 1966 - March 2, 2023), aged 56
You will be remembered as a legend.
This is Hardcore is definitely the best Pulp's era. Never gonna get tired of this album. And this song is just great.
The "eye of the storm" part of the video was so beautiful I nearly cried.
Wow, just now discovered this band. So fucking sublime.
You have some catching up to do!!!
+Shaun Hensley Then I sincerely advice you to listen to their "Different Class" album. It is the best album of the 90s imho and one of the best musical albums ever produced.
+Vadim Levin very true, massivley underrated.
+Shaun Hensley Lucky you and Unlucky you. You missed the glory days but then you didnt miss all. The music remains as brilliant and fresh as ever. Pulp is a different class altogether.
I'm amused by the blending of "Pulp" as in the band, "film noir" the movie genre, and "pulp fiction" literature.
His 'n Hers - the anticipation before the party. Different Class - the party. This Is Hardcore - the hangover. We Love Life - the vacant afternoon visiting your granny after the party.
god I loved this post Britpop era (97-2000). So many bands releasing follow ups to huge commercial hit albums, all trying to consciously pivot away from the sound that made them successful, and in the process making these weird, slightly self indulgent, amazingly produced gems - Blur by Blur, In It for the Money by Supergrass, and this album. Obviously a little biased as I was about 14/15 then, just starting to discover and develop my taste in music.
Feels like a different life!
Happy 21st Birthday to this is Hardcore, Pulp’s little known utter masterpiece
Outstanding comments
Don't think it's that little-known anymore, it's got over 4M views!
Their best song in my opinion. It's great they don't have much of those dark tracks, makes the few there are stand out.
I'm 67 years old and I just love this band. They say the best stuff I have heard in a long time
Help the Aged is a great charity anthem for sure.
Absolute perfection, from the composition, song story and lyrics. A huge 1990s artistic highpoint.
This is when britpop finished.jarvis signals it with a swipe of his arm.the end was here.amazing song.still gives me goosebumps
"And then it's over"
Man this video is so fresh. Hard to believe it is 17 years old.
+flamingwoodz I wish I could find a source for "Like a Friend" with similar quality
+JohnnyCagePro me toooooo
+flamingwoodz Never ages. True sublime energy.
holy shit we're the same age
damn i feel too young but old at the same time
I was thinking the exact same thing, but now it's 19 years old.
Fino, precioso, con clase, una verdadera pieza de arte.
Verdadera! : )
16 years later, it still being sublime...
So it’s 23 years old now ?
@@felix.mp3639 damn time flies!
@@felix.mp3639 madness the 90’s were boss
This is Pulps Opus...A tribute to a genre of film history that shall never be repeated again.Thank You Doug Nichol...
This never ages. A song and a video for every generation.
eeeeaa
You know a song is good when it's atemporal and this is hardcore is one of those. So good.
Heaven is this song and sipping your whiskey. Is a bad idea if you have to drive. Might give you a hard time getting up for work! You have been warned.
djbethell destroy Fairfield eben when occupy aws mgs bad hapens to je nd.
I can't think of another band with a lyric as powerful as "This is me on top of you"
A shame to think there will never be a band as grand as Pulp ever again
Says who?
By far Pulps best song. I could listen on an endless loop until the end of time.
I'm not a huge fan of Pulp... But this song is an absolute masterpiece.
This is the potential of Jarvis Cocker. A living musical genius who can write deep and profound songs and then sing them like a smooth story. Classic 10/10
Pulp finally got a proper budget to make a video... about damn time! What would their videos have been like for their previous albums with a similar budget? Probably their best video ever. Bravo!
This is artistic opulence and decadence and beauty and perfection
This is really a beautiful short film
Jarvis Cocker is your national living treasure .
Celebrate him before we give him the french citizenship.
Nice thought, but I somehow doubt he'd be wanting that right now :D
hahaha... brilliant.
This…. Is the eye of the storm….
This… is the end of the line…
Oh ooo oh! What a hell of a show…
This album literally marks the end of the Brit pop era.
Unsurpassed beautiful melancholy 😪
is this the best video ever?
fred linne No. It's the best video ever.
+fred linne Without question.
+fred linne Definitely my favorite, everything about it is so intensely sexy and stylish
It might be my favorite. This song mixed with the pulpy noir along with the David Lynch esque visuals once Jarvis starts his swagger is just god damned marvelous. True vision and emotion on all scales encapsulated in this single video. Brilliant.
It's in the top ten for sure
I've been a Pulp fan since about 1994. Never have I seen this video. It's amazing. Shows the bands sense of humour and class. Completely changed the way I understand this track since 97 or whenever it came out. Clever Jarvis.
Wonderful Hollywood homage, specifically Douglas Sirk’s “Written on the Wind” 1956. Still watching (and listening to) this 20+ years later. 6:25 of Masterful Controlled Tension and Release.
Bravo Pulp!
I genuinely think this is one of the greatest music videos ever made
Truly one of the greatest albums of all time. This record means so much to people; me being one of them.
This makes me tear up at the end - it's an absolute masterpiece.
"That goes in there,
and that goes in there,
and that goes in there . . . " wow.
I actually love the fact that this song is not THAT popular. It makes every view a special moment for a little number of people. This is hardcore.
A small number of a million people
I used to listen to that track over and over again when the album first came out.
That's it.
@@Alianger maybe out of 7.8 billion?
sure, i can see that
This song came out while I was in Art School in Australia and I enjoyed it’s sophistication on every level, the lyrics, the use of orchestral music as a reference to a historical time period, the video and of course Jarvis’s swag. According to interviews of Pulp, this song and album was deemed too depressing by Pulps audience and marked the end of the group!
Best part "Oh that goes in there, and that goes in there, and that goes in there...ohhoh..and then..it's over"
I remember how haunting this video was when I first saw it. Very Portishead feel to it. So creepy but good. Such a difference from their britpop roots. Love Pulp
One of the bests things I've ever listened my whole life.
RIP Steve Mackey - legend.
Everyone knows this track is absolutely perfect right? A rare accomplishment.
Their sound is so unique, their songs are so freakin brilliant. Can't understand why they were so underrated, and why they didn't enjoy as much succes as Radiohead for example ... They are only known for "Common People" worldwide, if that ...
reminds me of Brian ferry and Roxy music
That being said, Common People _is_ a god-tier song
i think that you need to change your social life and follow more/other music acounts.
And Disco 2000
On the time this CD came out people who knows good music followed it, but is too good for mainstream
Why is Nick Banks weirdly good at acting
"This is the eye of the storm.
It's what men in stained raincoats pay for..."
but here it is pure
JoeStunner great line.
Flora Gosling yeah
Gotta love the lyric about “men in stained raincoats”. That one took me aback when I first heard it. Jarvis is always somehow outdoing himself, isn’t he.
i like this song better than common people...
This whole album has so much more to say than Different Class, as much as I like Different Class. Or maybe its because I'm gettin' up there in years meself.
yea lol its funny i don't like Oasis's wonderwall, blurs universal or common people, there most hit songs but I like alot of others very much.
+Timothy Gallagher
Blur had way bigger hit songs than _The Universal_, namely _Country House_ in terms of that time period.
@@TheFibtastic ye i think you can appreciate pulps music as you move up the ages with them its what makes them so brilliant.
John Fiebke I believe park life and song 2 were bigger hits.
Fantastic finally found it again after years. Makes me feel of Portishead/Pink Floyd. This and Babies my fav Pulp songs.
Damn sometimes the CZcams algorithm kicks ass, this is great.
I feel like this is a song that can't be enjoyed to its full potential without the music video.
It doesn't get more gay than this Tyler.... Prolapse
This is a Masterpiece, State of the Art. there's no flaws in this video. 2019 and still rocks...
Best video ever? Moody Film Noir, Hitchcock, Douglas Sirk and Busby Berkley all expertly pastiched but integrated perfectly with the mood of the song.
The opening lines are from the Douglas Sirk classic 'Written on the Wind' and the entire video looks like a luridly coloured 50's Sirk melodrama. Bloody hell, Pulp have fantastic taste in film!
Stunning, music, texts, movie, characters, actors, atmosphere .... totally stunning
Fun fact: this aired with subtitles on French TV, which literally never happens.
Bought the album at the time which became the soundtrack of my 20th year on this earth. So many memories linked to each and every songs. Listening to it nowadays is always significant, and never harmless ...
As someone who was only familiar with Pulp's poppier stuff before this, it blew my fucking mind when I first heard it.
Best Pulp song EVER!
Honestly wasn't much of a Pulp fan, however, this song coupled with the music video is honestly awe-inspiring.
A bloody masterpiece.
Jarvis always liked cinema, in fact he went to study cinema before the stardom that was Different Class. The album This is Hardcore was a very risky bet but that's was Pulp wanted: to show the B side of the pop party, the hangover, the ugly part that nobody likes, but it exists. Jarvis is a master who still being one of the best.
(
I know they made music from long before, but their work was far from being recognized by the masses)
This song is 23 years old now!!!!!
It's the film noir vibe, couldn't love it more.
Undoubtedly one of the greatest videos ever made! The "eye of the storm" part just gives me shivers every single time...
Fantastic video, my favourite pulp song, why wasn't this a huge hit?
ずっと好き。ここまで好きになったのは、パルプだけ💘ジャービスみたいな人って他にいないよね💕
The Cure, Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Pulp, Placebo, Depeche Mode, then Massive Attack, Portishead...so many...too many to be named... BRITISH ARE THE BEST. PERIOD. And i am french.
Theadora Borealis Merci beucoup
Dead Can Dance are/were Australian ...
Theadora Borealis friends gone me no care no...
Theadora Borealis democratic party 34 is me i lovr the Democratic party little nemo.eats skittles
pink Floyd, Oasis, The Verve
How underrated was this song at the time? I mean, I lived through Britpop and for some reason this and its namesake album were scene as the end of that era. For me this is one of the very best Pulp songs and surely in anyones top 10 of the Britpop era.
I only found it because a local, small radio station played underground, alternative singles. And ho boy did it change my life
my favorite music video of all time!!!
Pulp's masterpiece, from their best album.. .actually TIH is that good you can place the vinyl next to the very best of Bowie not feeling disconcerted at all
One of the best music videos of all time. Possibly THE best. Every time I come back to it I'm simply blown away.
My first expérience with the song of Pulp in 1998. Is was a great sensual sensation. Love fromBordeaux. France.
PULP ... come back please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jarvis Cocker blows my mind. Pulp has so much attention to detail with these videos - AMAZING
Masterclass. 100%n Art.
The britpop fight, Oasis or Blur? Correct answer - Pulp.
Suede?
One of the best band in history. Rip Steve
Daaaamn I'm really sad that we will never see them playing together again. Imagine this LIVE
OH BOY. This might as well change very soon. PULP IS BACK.
Just saw them the other night, I've never heard this song before and it was so so so amazing.
@@erinmcwilliams234 AHHHHH SOOO COOL. I got my ticket for their mexico concert in november. Years ago I couldn't imagine we'd get at this point.
The Beauty of This Music still makes me cry 15 years after.
Hypersensitive people, watch out !
Theadora Borealis I get the same feeling it's so moving.very powerful..
Jarvis Cocker sounds a lot like Bowie in a lot of Pulp's songs.
Good to know I'm not the only one who thinks that :)
+Casey Grutz yeah he does but in here he sounds a lot like Elvis Costello as well - IMO
I am with vinicius on this one.However I have only listened to this album and Different class so may be missing out on something.
+Vinicius Azevedo great shout
Listen to Party Hard (on the same This is Hardcore album), and try not to think of Bowies Teenage Wildlife (from Scary Monsters).
Both masterpieces in their own right by the way.
The song is a amazing but the video is so beautiful. What a treasure.
5:40 Trumpet is just the icing on the cake.
After Common People, their best song.
Common People is undoubtedly their anthem...but this is their masterpiece.
Jarvis seems like such a cool bloke
I'm looking for new hardcore punk band to listen. But, i'm not complaint with this. I'm gonna put this song in my playlist...
MINOR THREAT..1981/ 1985.
"all they found were rats in my head" is an altered line from Written In The Wind. in the film it says "they found rocks in my head".
if I don't misremember in that scene they are talking about geology class, wich makes perfect sense 😂
the actor is quite similar too
The acting is really good for a music video
Im stuck: I rewatched this already seven times in two days. This is just beautiful and I cant tear myself away!
3:44 - 4:15 Best seconds in music history.
Sixto Martín García YES!
This is where I turn it up, I also like the "and that goes in there" part too.
would like those seconds last forever...
100%
Best Video Ever!!!!!!
it's a damn shame Russell left before This is Hardcore - he would have been perfect in this video
seeing him in this mv would have been truly a blessing
