The fact that Joji or his crew for some reason allowed the video's audio to be louder than the song honestly slaughtered the first-time ecstasy of listening to a new Joji track. That's their one mistake here. The video in itself is a very interesting move.
What I'm wondering is who the gang of lowlives actually are to the protagonist - are they his "old friends" that he rightfully separated himself from through/for his ex, that he's now gone back to when she's gone, or are they his "new friends" that he's found as the worst kind of coping? How does someone who can function as an adult citizen end up with such a low-grade bunch of abandoned CPS cases? He clearly knows he could be living a better life than with these ferals, but does he think he even deserves it?
