Overall Meaning

At its core, Fischerspooner's song "Emerge" is an anthem of self-affirmation and empowerment. The opening lines "Hi, huh-I/Hyper/Hyper-media-ocrity" introduce the song's theme of the overwhelming presence and influence of media in our lives. The lyrics go on to emphasize that despite this overwhelming pressure, one does not need to "emerge from nothing" or "tear away" from oneself to meet these external expectations. The repeated chorus further asserts this message, encouraging listeners to feel good and confident in themselves without needing to conform to societal norms or pressures.


The song's catchy beat and repetitive lyrics create a sense of urgency, as if imploring the listener to act on this message and reject the notion that they must conform to media standards. The use of the phrase "looks good feels good" reinforces the message that one's own feelings of self-worth are more important than external validation.


Overall, "Emerge" is a powerful and uplifting song that encourages self-love and acceptance, and rejects the idea that one must change or conform to meet outside expectations.

I will never get over how pretentious this video is. I love the visuals, but come on...

Looong opening of the behind-the-scenes work*

AN IRON

20 seconds of music

ABRUPT PAUSE, the dancers stop, and audio visual specialist whispers

30 seconds of song

DRAMATIC PAUSE for choreography

10 seconds of song

SOUND OF METAL BANGING, shirtless male dancer moving body

5 seconds of song

PAUSE for a shot of an elegant neck

10 seconds of song

DRAMATIC GLITCH, close-up face, a fashion designer

After one minute, I don't care if the song emerges or not...

Delores reminded me about the soundtrack for my senior yr....our violent delights....

@robynsegg

... have violent ends / And in their triumph die, like fire and powder / Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness / and in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately. Long love doth so." -- Friar Laurence.
