Music Video[]
Type's music video is set in a run down junkyard styled setting outside of New York City where the band is playing. Throughout the video, images reflect technology, corporate greed, fundamentalist Christianity via televangelism, politics, and poverty have become the norm. It also reflects how regular people are trying so hard to get what they can't have, but the rich can easily obtain.
