Underscores – Secondhand Embarrssment (2021)
Directed by: Underscores
A sharp and self-aware slice of hyperpop-infused alternative, “Secondhand Embarrassment” showcases underscores’ knack for blending biting lyricism with glossy, chaotic production. The music video leans into awkward social tension and exaggerated scenarios, pairing glitchy visuals and hyper-saturated aesthetics with a tongue-in-cheek performance style. Balancing irony with genuine vulnerability, underscores captures the uncomfortable spiral of cringe and overthinking in the digital age, transforming social anxiety into a bold, artfully chaotic pop spectacle.
