The music video for the Pearl Jam song "Do the Evolution" messed up my head when I first watched it 11 years ago. It still messes with my head a little, but in the best way possible. The music video is animated by Todd McFarlane and is basically a montage of past, present, and future examples of how the human race is immature, destructive, and ultimately doomed. Yah, charming. It works though. As cynical as the video is, it touches on a lot of truths. Had this been the first song I ever heard by Pearl Jam, I would definitely have been sold by this video. However, I had already heard plenty of songs by Pearl Jam prior to seeing this video and had already decided that I did not like them. This might be the only song that I like by them, but I like this song A LOT.
Be forewarned, this video is jarring.
