Seeing this music video in my recommended in 2024 is wild. This band was so formative for me - 'Something to Write Home About' is genuinely one of the best records of all time.
I worked at a tattoo studio around the time Get Up Kids went on their anniversary tour. I ended up getting guestlisted for the show after one of the opening bands stopped in. Here I am now reminiscing about a night that made me reminisce about my high school days. Thanks for being there for me!
I first heard The Get Up Kids when a clerk at Newbury Comics was playing “Four Minute Mile” in the store back in 1997 or 1998. I bought the CD and immediately became a SuperFan. Followed them since, buying every record. Sadly, missed a rare small show 20 minutes from me shortly before they fired James. I’ve led a charmed life where that is one of my biggest regrets. Now, I am old.
Of all the music I've listened to over the years, I'd say this is one of those 'perfect songs.' Everything comes together brilliantly. The video complements it so well, too. What a great achievement in music here.
She is NOT crazy, her demands were reasonable...although if the TGUK were performing in MY flat, I would be like 'fuck studying, I want a front row seat!'
I loved The Get Up Kids in high school, but I had no idea that they had this music video until now. I wish we had every song and music video in existence on youtube back in the early 2000s like we do now.
Just how young all these guys look compared to how they do today is so funny. I mean, I know it’s been 25 years but still. I’m glad to see the GUK and Reggie still running strong.
Come on guys, remake the video. It would be awesome and hilarious to see the group in present day remaking this shot-for-shot. I was at the farewell tour, I was at the reunion tour, I'll see ya'll in Columbus.
I used to record 120 Minutes on VHS tape every Sunday night, and then I'd watch the videos Monday morning before class. I'll never forget my first time seeing this video, then lucking out and learning that TGUK was playing in Seattle just months from then with The Anniversary and Koufax! It was 1999 and I was only 16 years old and it was my first real punk show!! They introduced me to the punk/emo world and I've never been the same. Ya'll have really made my life so much better because of it. Thank you guys ❤❤❤
This album/video was a real turning point for dudes like me who had been listening to nothing but Epitaph and FAT bands. Very suddenly, The Get Up Kids and Saves the Day (along with a lot of other Vagrant artists) changed the musical sensibilities of countless punk kids. Dudes with Screeching Weasel shirts and studded belts quickly traded them in for lip piercings and girl jeans. Yeah, the term "emo" was later bastardized and used as a catch-all for dozens of new rock bands, but what form of art isn't subjected to that type of commodification? It was still a fun time to be young and start a LiveJournal account.

What a great time capsule of late 90s - early 2000s clothing.
Back when hardly no one but a few were completely covered in tattoos.
all came from Southern California
the girl is confused because all she hears is screachy noise on her end of the phone, great to finally have it on the official channel
ah… the memories with this band is pure awe and nostalgia…

the perfect time capsule of what it was liked to live pre-y2k.
The "not big enough for radio play" bands (of all genres during the late 90's and early 00's) were sooooo good!

I remember this video because it was included in a VHS called Punxploitation (2000). It was a VHS made by epitaph records and burning heart records.😊
Let’s gooo they finally officially posted this lol
I can't believe they didn't get any music videos for Four Minute Mile. 💔
But this one's super fun!

So many memories. Driving to Kansas. Seen these guys live more than twenty times.... Takes me back to being 22 years old.
Better quality than the old VHS-tapes, thank god. 🤓
sweet sweet memories, this band will always be in my heart

She got the full effect
She has the greatest GuK shirt. Still have never found it anywhere online
THE MOOG!!!!!!❤
I wish the Get Up Kids lived next to me

We finally got a good quality version lol

I didn’t properly appreciate how good Matt’s voice was.
So great!!
So glad they officially posted it!
See you in Dallas TONIGHT!!!!
Its finally here!! This song and video embodies everything that was awesome about my teenage years.
Did you get that shirt from Old Navy? I KNEW YOU DID, HELL YEAH, RIGHT ON BIETCH
This takes me back.
Music was so much better and more raw in this era. Not over produced and had more energy
Wow. She is 10/10. 90's chicks are the best.
Agreed. Even the girl with the glasses is pretty hot! I hadnt noticed before
I mean, this was late 1999.
this is great, i genuinely thought this was over a decade old, well filmed!
Damn I missed this! Had it on a compilation of (I think?) Burning Heart Records vids with The Refused, 59 Times The Pain etc. Nostalgia overload 😢❤
I was born in 1999, and this is one of my favorite albums of all time.
I graduated HS in 1999, and it's one of my favorite albums, too! 😂
Matt was such a goddamn dreamboat.
1000th Like!
I love the idea that Ryan and Rob are touring again!! Miss you dudes.
This is nostalgia at its peak!🔥
This band, song and video all totally rock.💯🤘🤘
Thrashin' [Movie in the BG at the start]

1:35 I thought I remember seeing a version of this where James cursed her out.
This is a clearer version than the one that was on the vagrant DVD

WHAT YEAR IS IT
1999
I’ve seen this music video a few times before. Why did I think the girl in the thumbnail was Scarlett Johansson???
What's the name of that actress?
Playback at 1.25x 😮😮
sounds like a Jeff Rosenstock song
Y’all want it to be 2001 so bad.
Make North America Great again even if never was
Please reunite with Reggie it just doesn’t feel right…it doesn’t feel complete without him :/
Official?!?!?!???!?!?!?!?!?
🥲
Pdrsan I’m bad…
Who else saw Scarlett Johansson? Lol
Wow it’s been a long time! 🥲❤
damn I still wanna know what happened with Dewees
❤
