ahead of your time zoomers right now need their stepdad more than ever, I have this in my favs since 2011 and here I am, drunk, commenting to compliment you on your superior musical intuition my dear brother.
I first saw this in /v4c/ when I was 14 and it's seriously what got me into music and set me off looking for other cool bands and songs. Ordinaire EP was the first album I ever bought for myself, it's very special to me and always gets me nostalgic for having good times with friends. This song is also just insanely, unbelievably good and underrated. I haven't ever heard a band quite like Stepdad since.
Saw stepdad some time in the early-mid 2010s at warped tour. I was like 14 and VERY awkward. I walked up to the merch table not realizing Mark was right in front of me! That was the first time I had ever met a musician I liked face to face.. And I had no clue what to do lmao. I froze. He handled it like an absolute angel and I walked away with a sick shirt and some free stickers/tattoos 🤩Their energy on stage was excellent and Mark was giving it HIS ALL! Cherished memory.
When i was in highschool my half brother came back into my life randomly. That day after reuniting with us, he showed us this music video and it stuck with me since. Love ya bro.
A friend was going through my liked videos and I saw this and immediately hit it, it’s been too long since I listened to you guys and I’m so happy to hear your music again!!!!
honestly, living in Michigan and meeting these guys was such an experience. i had a friend that knew them personally who also made music and we all met up once and it was great. Bay City, Michigan is full of potential and talent and these guys are amazing.
im from michigan and my dad is a dj and he just came up to me and told me that hes waiting for stepdad to come up in my playlists bc of the type of music i listen to and i was like whos that so he told me the kind of vibe their music has and then he said i just think it would be funny bc ryan held you as a baby and i was like what are you talking abt 👁👄👁 he then proceeds to say that ryan had tried to start a band while he was in high school at the same time that my dad was trying to start a record label with his friend and so they were recording is a small studio in the house i was born in and one day i was sitting on his lap at my sisters drumset and we were just tapping on the drums. i thought that was pretty cool so i looked them up and their music is pretty chill and ahead of its time imo and i like it :P
Still jamming this is 2023. I’ll be jamming this song all the way to the grave 💖 and if you guys ever decide to play a show in Houston, Texas again, I’ll definitely be there 🥹💕
i remember me and my friends getting together after school to watch this nearly everyday. 12 year old me was obsessed and i can say with confidence that 21 year old me is most definitely still obsessed.
I love this song, and your music, so freaking much!! Wish I got to experience it sooner, I only really found more of your songs last year (though I've known Parrot for a long time, it's one of my all-time favourite songs, alongside this song, and Harms Way!!) Please make more music someday!! I think that your style would be perfect for this era!!
puddinhead99 Seriously though, watch the "Pick and Choose" Stepdad music video. Post apocalyptic setting, animated. I know its not P-ward, but he surely has to be a huge fan.
That's one's by HannesJohannes, one of my favorite indie animators out there. If you like it, definitely check out their other vids, they're all masterpieces.
i really sincerely hope that whoever stole your guys laptops in indy releases your unreleased material since i have given up hope that you will make new music :(
I just realized something. That clip at the end of some TV show. That means they produced the music video, got a old used tape and transfered it from computer to VHS, played it in a VCR, recorded the output BACK to a computer, and that's the finished product we have here. The scanlines and the resolution are authentic. If that isn't hipster I don't know what is. Still love it. EDIT: they remastered it this comment is obsolete
What? No. That effect is entirely possible without having to go through all that. There are many ways of doing it. just one example that I've created: i.imgur.com/5mAM5XE.jpg
I'm pretty sure this legit. I've seen loads of stylised fake VHS videos, and I'm pretty sure this was made before vaporwave/glitch aesthetics became big.
First time I saw this I laughed my ass off. Now I can't get away from this. I listen to this every fucking day, I'm srs. And this music videos is so fucking awesome.
Still a banger in this grand year of 2024.
Big facts!
Hell yeah!
Truth
Found this this year! It’s already improved my life.
12 years old and still fire.
It's been six years and I still adore this song.
They have incredible replay-ability, IMO one of the best "un-sung" artist out there
quistan2 It's a masterpiece of a song in my opinion, and I wonder if they even realize how many people are obsessed with it
@@katiemccarthy7992 They're still active on their Facebook, and just put out an EP in 2016...
Big oof
It’s been ten years, and this is still top 5 all time.
Thanks for all the kind words everybody!!!
THANK YOU!

This showed up on my spotify today. It's super duper awesome!! Love it

This song is almost a decade old and I'm only discovering this year damn
I've been missing out
I just discovered it
I just found about this yesterday on my discover weekly. And I loveeeee it
This song is lit in 2055. The remix by Critty is going to sweep the charts.
same just went to their official FB page to see if I could catch a tour date and they are not active :(
I only discovered it today, thanks Spotify
How did the the hipster burn his mouth?
He ate pizza before it was cool
I laughed but only because this is 8 years old with 13 likes

Looking back on this, this aesthetic was waaaay ahead of its time.

This song/video was so wildly ahead of its time.
10/10 honestly best song ever
I love it
Anthony Villanueva Who doesn't.
The impact this song had on my early psychedelic experimentation during high school is unfathomable. Forever with love.❤
Thank you🥹
I probably contributed to half the views i've watched this everyday for the past 4 years
Dmitry Nemerov haha, its so good!!

This came up on my RUclips suggested. I guess it remembered I watched this video a thousand times over a decade ago. Still such a gem!
this contributed to my life.
this contributed to my indigestion.
Chris spit it out don't swallow it silly.
+Anthony Villanueva that's what she said
It doesn't help that my diet consists almost entirely of old bones.
Its been 3 years here, too.
I just want to say this song -did- actually change my view on music, so there's that.
I never knew something could be this dank

Greetings from a babbytube user
Man, agreed.
Someone needed to bring this masterpiece back with a comment.
10 years later and this song still never fails to put me in a good mood

this sounds like an experience i had with a band i loved. they say dont meet your idols, but sometimes you get lucky and meet an angel in disguise!
Same experience. They're very sweet kids.
Sometimes... Its really awesome to see a song you favorited 10 years ago thats still up. Thanks again dad
still a bop
When i was in highschool my half brother came back into my life randomly. That day after reuniting with us, he showed us this music video and it stuck with me since. Love ya bro.
listening to this in 2020 they most defiantly were ahead of their time
Right? This song and video could have dropped this year and people would still be saying it looks / sounds brand new.
@@MilkIsL3git sure they were, their drummer during this period was literally chrome sparks
Why do I keep coming back to this video?😆
Hidden gem of a track. My favourite song from wildlife pop. I honestly cannot stress how underrated this band is! This track is simply wonderful
banger
im here 7 years later
Deleted my youtube watch history to fix my scuffed recommendations, and now this gem shows up. Great success.
pretty 10/10 i guess
Almost a decade, and yet again, unfailing, the trail leads me here.
I remember showing a girl I loved this and her looking at me like I was a freak, a year later she loved it.
U lucky to have a girl for over a year
hope you're still together:)
Its definitely inspiring at face value either way right
A friend was going through my liked videos and I saw this and immediately hit it, it’s been too long since I listened to you guys and I’m so happy to hear your music again!!!!
I have no words to describe how this video/song/band makes me feel. I was laughing, crying and enjoying it all at the same time.
Honestly I'm not sure how I'd be able to keep going without this song in my life.
honestly, living in Michigan and meeting these guys was such an experience. i had a friend that knew them personally who also made music and we all met up once and it was great. Bay City, Michigan is full of potential and talent and these guys are amazing.

Holy fuck, this took me back! This song had left my mind years ago and it is so good to have it back!
Cant believe I could've been listening to this for 8 years and I just found it today
this song and music video was streets ahead and still is
Happy one million views, Stepdad! Still my favourite band after nearly 10 years.
Still jamming this is 2023. I’ll be jamming this song all the way to the grave 💖 and if you guys ever decide to play a show in Houston, Texas again, I’ll definitely be there 🥹💕
Not enough artists know the value of a solid key change *chefs kiss*
College friend showed this to me in 2014 and I’ve loved it ever since
My college friend burst into my room blasting this in 2011 to wake me up. I HATED it. But i fell in love with the song eventually.
This song needs to be pushed everywhere in Australia.
Should be number 1 right now.
I just want to say thanks for making this. It genuinely makes me happy when I'm down. Keep being awesome guys.
Sure wish y'all would put out more music
Oh my god it's directed by titanic Sinclair, AKA the director of the I'm Poppy RUclips series!
...oh no.
Ah well, sometimes shit people make good art. At least there's none of his mind-control fetish crap in this video
i remember me and my friends getting together after school to watch this nearly everyday. 12 year old me was obsessed and i can say with confidence that 21 year old me is most definitely still obsessed.
"she's always cold despite the weather"
My life
Are you also a vampire?
You will always be my favorite band. You have been by my side since early adulthood and you got me through my very worst years.
I'VE SEARCHING FOR THIS SONG FOR FING EVER
ITS BEEN TEN YEARS AND IM STILL LOVING THIS OMG
Me too
Ahead of its time. If this was released today it would be a huge hit
This is one of the greatest song & video combinations in human history.
What it feels like to chew 5 Gum.
*S I M U L A T E Y O U R S E N C E S*
This song was a turning point in my love for music. Thanks for making such amazing music. Every song is a banger
Just heard this song this week and was like “bruh this new band kicks butt.” I’m so sad I’ve been missing out for so long
v4c never forget

About time this hit a million 10 💅
Still my favorite artist to listen to on a daily basis.
Still my favorite song to sing at work.
There is something like strikingly existential and psychedelic about this and I can never forget it
Does anyone else think that stepdad is just Pendleton Ward making music under a different name. I can totally hear Beemo in this song.
and now i can never unhear it
puddinhead99 Seriously though, watch the "Pick and Choose" Stepdad music video. Post apocalyptic setting, animated. I know its not P-ward, but he surely has to be a huge fan.
That's one's by HannesJohannes, one of my favorite indie animators out there. If you like it, definitely check out their other vids, they're all masterpieces.
Nicholas Renshaw Thanks for the info, I may have stumbled across some others already, but I will search by that name.
I can imagine this is what the 90's would look like on acid
we did it right
I'm still loving this!
me too! been a solid 4 years now
6 years later im still diggin it lmao
This is bar none the most well crafted, beautiful video ever made, and it will be lost to everyone.
This song still slaps in 2022
Still in love with this song
Happy Fathers' Day!
This is song sounds so good how have I just heard it
Titanic Sinclair is a really great director, in my opinion.
I agree he’s extremely talented when it comes to film, it sucks that he’s abusive towards women :(
One of my friends recently moved to Grand Rapids. After showing him this video, he said he wasn't surprised this band were from there.
2024.😊
I can’t believe this is ten years old already
Ikr!😆
This is the vibe I'm entering 2021 with.
five years and this is still the most stupid, most amazing, best thing that i have ever seen and heard
this shit fucking slaps
The fact that is so entirely true and you threw the word "noob" in there, makes you sir, awesome.
Yay its finally at 1 million
Timeless banger!!!
i really sincerely hope that whoever stole your guys laptops in indy releases your unreleased material since i have given up hope that you will make new music :(
Honestly what a bop
i love this song its fun to listen to and the video is fun to watch
This was one of the theme songs for my college years. That was over 8 years ago. Thanks for the memories!
The main singer looks like a mix between Stavros Halkias and Count Dankula. Tell me I’m wrong.
I can't remember how I stumbled upon this video 5 years ago but I do remember that it felt like I found something magical

Confirmed. Best song of the decade.
This song has staying power still good in 2021
I'm here 12 years later at the age of 31 and I still love this
@Seanskippa Best comment ever. I'm going to start using it as a catchphrase: "Stepdad: the 201st centry beatles, but with chinesse music :/"
it's been 10 years, and I still adore this song
still dont get how this never broke 1m views its an amazing song
10 years later, and this song is still better than most music nowadays. Plus the aesthetic is just 🔥
I love watching this one while tripping!!
fun fact: being high or not doesn't change a thing about how the video looks or sounds!
Randomly caught these guys on 88.1 WYCE Grand Rpaids. Great interview and great music. Made me a fan for life.
Why is your drive settings in portuguese?
Amazing graphics, absolutely love everything about it.
Nice tune too, not my vibe rn but it slaps
porque win95/m era popular no brasil, a maioria das imagens no google do win95/m nesse tempo ai era em portugues
STEPDAD I MISS YOUUUU! Excited for your new music!
First time I saw this I laughed my ass off. Now I can't get away from this. I listen to this every fucking day, I'm srs. And this music videos is so fucking awesome.
And when the world needed them most, they vanished
