The video they made to accompany Juliana Hatfield’s “Nirvana” for Rock Band is… surreal.

I really feel like the crowd is suffering from affect dysplasia during the chorus. Also, just because she’s technically animated does not give the singer any right to be so extroverted. Sianne Ngai knows what’s up: “we can speak of someone’s being ‘animated’ by a passion like anger, but not by an objectless mood like nostalgia or depression, which tend to have a de-animating effect on those affected by them” (Ugly Feelings 31).
