For all we know, Beck's being raised scientologist could have been performance art in itself. Also, the literal version thing works a lot better on music videos that at least attempt being narrative. And not so much for ones that are random mash-ups by design.

“…please share your thoughts on this!” My only thought is that you must be kidding.  Well, either that, or you have no idea how to distinguish paintings from coloring books.

Funny. But you can hardly pull off the uber-intellectual sounding narration if you don't know how to pronounce “coitus”…

“Massive headphones are a hipster meme…” YOU are a “hipster meme”, you clearly process every image you see through that prism. “…but for what 99% of the population needs (and can appreciate)” And now look at who is deciding who is capable of appreciating what, or not…that kind of pretentiousness sounds awfully “hipster-ish” in itself.
Can 99% of the population “appreciate” a set of headphones that physically cancel out external noise by virtue of covering your ears? Do you know what noise pollution is like in a place like Brooklyn? And what is that crap speculation about MP3's? 1. You have no idea what format said music is in. 2. MP3's are not necessarily compressed at less than CD quality sound. MP3's can, in fact, be of a much higher quality than native CD bitrates. Of course, they might as well use other uncompressed audio file formats (and they do), but since you could “eyeball” the use of the MP3 format… But I'm not an audiophile, so clearly I need someone with your expertise to explain which earbuds would be sufficient for a person like myself to “appreciate” my “MP3's”…

“And I don't think anything is more annoying than hipsters wearing vintage-looking, gigantic, bulbous headphones.” I have no opinion about this guy or the song, but headphones aren't a strictly aesthetic choice, and they haven't kept making the big ones for the sake of looking “vintage”.  There are still only two kinds of headphones in the world, the big kind that cover your ears, or crap.

“Maybe he just wants to do something else with his free time.” Clearly he did, but when that “something else” became taking the time to make a complete leotard out of himself in a televised interview, and then taking more to try to further clarify his moronic statements, can you really call that “quality time”?
