Katy Perry features her hometown of Santa Barbara in her new music video for the single, “Teenage Dream” which is nice, because Santa Barbara is beautiful and probably holds a great deal of memories for the singer growing up, falling in love for the first time, leaving, etc.
Moments to enjoy in this video:
- First love complex
- Mad de-saturated with a navy layer of exclusion set to, what? 20%. Omg so high school livejournal photoshop icon memoriessss.
- Dream boyfriend being all into boxing ‘n shit. His shoes are cuffed vintage leather boots, so you know he’s a gentleman. He won’t bone you till AFTER the post-prom bonfire. Class.
- Midnight swimming.
Things to care less about:
- In high school, if a car full of hipsters pulled up to me, going ape shit dancing, throwing their Indian headdresses to Modest Mouse, high as balls; I probably would have begun to put actual (instead of hypothetical) effort into saving money so I could mount tear gas cannons onto my Suburban*.
- Mass underwear beach bonanza. It’s impossible to do this outside of college and not look like you’re on PCP, mmkay.
* There’s no law against doing this to my bike. Good to know.
