From the team at The Mill: “The music video provides a timely commentary on what it means to be ‘Popular’ in today’s social media culture. The video’s aesthetic references the rudimentary format of a casting tape, in which M.I.A. teaches her clone to mimic the moves and attitudes that will supposedly make her ‘Popular’.”
