an example of exploration/celebration of genre and setting-color

April 11th, 2009

In the form of a music video: Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo) by Black Kids.

Awesome nostalgia with a totally trippy and psychadelic vibe, and plenty of cross-references to the genres and tropes that are baked into our generation’s post-80s DNA. I once said my creative agenda for RPGs was about a certain kind of exploration/celebration of genre. If you watch this and love it, then you get it.

Also, I totally want to play D&D with Ali Youngblood. She’s some sort of “mage” in this video, which is awesome.

ETA: Oh, this is also a clear reference to the old dungeons & dragons cartoon.

    That’s superawesome. I love the Thundercats stuff too! Goes right in hand with Missy Elliott’s Sock it 2 Me:
