The way I see it, CEO Zalinki is the way he portrays himself to others, Artist Zalinki is his true self, and the janitor is what he wants to be. Like each character represents some piece of himself.
And artist was so wrapped in his job that he didn’t notice the massacre around him like irl zalinki which caused his mental breakdown
YES.
Im pretty sure you stole this comment from one on the original video
I think it’s also important to note that the janitor is the one who lets AZ out.
huh
Not even because they felt obligated. They just let them out sort of as a 'plus' to getting whatever they needed out of the room.
You have to start somewhere, alot of time its best to start with you habitat
So, in a way, motivation is saved by not caring what others think.

I think the janitor is Zalinki’s Fanbase. Enjoying his content while trying to forget he doesn’t like making his content.
To me, the janitor represents the cleaning, the mental reset, it puts away the things that hurt you, but over time the damages to the wall start to be too much for him to clean up.
Maybe the janitor represents the viewer or the consumer or however you would like to phrase it
i thought that as well, because the viewer just doesn't really care
Either way, I'm fine with cleaning corpses if it means I get to fucking jam!
To me, it's a music video about cleaning up the aftermath of a literal pity party.
I suppose the janitor signifies a self awareness of the absurdity and irony of having to be left with picking yourself up after beating yourself up for hours on end.
This then fits the lyrics and message of how some people tend to unhealthy dwell on their negative emotions through actively searching music that validates their mood.
They are upset, they simply wish to be heard or seen, or to be given a straight answer from a sea of disorienting insecurity. However instead of addressing the issue that causes them to feel upset in the first place, they settle with the satisfaction of continuously dwelling on the emotion as it validates them, it causes them to feel victimised and owed an explanation and positive karma from the people around them.
This is my first comment on RUclips, I'm typically a lurker but I'm in a talkative mood tonight haha
When you said you were 14 I was surprised. Not because I think young people can't do things; hell, I'm 14. But I haven't met lots of people my age who would be interested in looking this deeply into something. I respect that
I mostly was surprised by his voice. I'm fifteen and my voice is fucking gross
thanks! despite my online persona typically being lighthearted and funny, I like delving into the dark stuff every so often. the world is scary, but scary stuff tends to become less scary when you understand how it works
I feel like AZ is how Zalinki feels, and CZ is how he sees his work and the people who watch him. AZ is tired, not as dolled up as CZ, and burned out. But he keeps going, though he doesn't know why. Perhaps it's because drawing is his job and if he stops he doesn't make money. Turning his hobby into his job has sucked the purpose out of it.
The line "I don't pay you to ask questions." Can be taken in many ways. Perhaps that's how Zalinki thinks his viewers think. We watch him for entertainment. To laugh and giggle at funny animations. Our views are what pays him. We didn't ask him to be sad, or to take health breaks. We asked him to entertain and that's what he better do.
The lyrics to the song also help prove that even him himself (or perhaps others around him) feel as if he's sinking. The lyrics express worry for Zalinki and his state. Lyrics like "Boy you're gonna crash and burn, we're worried!", "Talking bout death and stuff", and of course the infamous "Always listening to music made for sad people." all feel like a person trying to pull themselves out of a sad rut by using what others have told them. He's trying to tell himself that he's being ridiculous and that he needs to snap out of it before he really does get hurt.
'Music for sad people' isn't just a song and silly animation, it's a insight. It's telling his viewers his worries and how his mind is in shambles from overworking himself for us. How a small part of him CZ, is annoyed almost about his state while another part is dancing around in ignorant bliss. His ignorant bliss breaks him out of his prison, as of he's realized we won't hate him for stopping. That he can take breaks. That he has to, or he'll end up in this state again.
Take a look at "Tired of the noise" from him
it's no problem to find
Janitor certifies this video as truly, an epic gamer moment.
bro was 14 and made such an organized, thought out, and well edited video
content
yep. that’s what this is
@@Steven-si7ff QUALITY CONTENT
Some ✨ *quality content* ✨
@@Mactoto HELL YEAH MAN
Now this is a great video, I gotta say when I first watched "Music for Sad People" the animation isn't what I solely focused on but rather the lyrics of the song and somehow despite the upbeat music I can still feel the emotion being expressed in it, your video helped in giving it another spotlight for things I didn't even notice and I thank you for that :)
this is like genuinely good what the fuck I didnt expect this to be so quality
This has been in my recommendations for a near 5 months. I've followed Zalinki for a long while, not thinking I need to really watch a video essay on a big hit of his; but you've done this extravagantly. I've enjoyed your input on this and honestly it brought up some perspectives that I had not thought too much of. Thank you for this, and I hope you do more with this career; as long as you have a passion for it.
great vid, only criticizm from me Is that the clip at the end of "The Plan" segment could've been cut down and I think it would serve better as a transition from CZ to AZ, because the scene is an interaction between the two of them and shows a lot about both of them.
This video was fantastic, keep it up man. I love Zalinki's music and videos, I know he has made it clear that most of them are meant to be a reflection on his dissatisfaction with his life the way he is or was living it at the release of the video. However I've never thought to take the time to actually sit down and analyze it. Seeing you do this has made me want to give it a shot. So thank you very much, and may I add that your video was honestly amazing, you've definitely put time and effort into it. You're getting a sub from me.
Thank you for making this. It's making me appreciate the music more!
hi to anyone who happens to be checking back on this video. I've got news: I finished a new video essay! except that content ID is doing what it does and striking down the video immediately after upload. it was content claimed by WMG and I can't even just upload it without monetization-it gets blocked in all areas.
best case scenario, WMG quickly releases the claim, but I'll still be waiting a day or two until I can release it. worst case scenario (which I'm honestly expecting), WMG fully upholds the claim, and I'll have to butcher the footage and audio just to get it through content ID. and yes, the video is the literal textbook definition of fair use, but I think we know by now that youtube never really cares much for that.
in the meantime, you can watch the video on Dropbox.

This is really damn good for your first time. I think you should definitely try making another one of these sometime.
More and more peps are looking at zalinki and seeing either a shitposter or a good animator. Hes a man who's past can only be seen through a keyhole in a dim room, but dang, hes not what you think. At least I think so
*Very good video I'll be rewatching this again soon, ALSO HOW ARE YOU 14 ??*
haha, thanks
(really) long story short, back around 2016 I was tearing myself apart trying to help a lot of people in really shitty situations. I was overdoing it to the point where I was neglecting to take care of myself
that kind of thing sort of forces you into understanding mental health regardless of whether or not you planned to
@@Steven-si7ff lmao felt that
gave me a new look on this music video/animation
only took 2 months but steven like my comment ☻pain
This is great, I look forward to any other video essays you do in future. Really well written man
CEO zal is him trying his best to please everyone even if it's fucking himself over,artist zal is him as an artist that lost his motivation a long time ago and he's out of passion,the janitor is that small bit of hope he still has that everything is ok and him trying to smile through yhe frustration
And all the workers are the damage this has done to him
You should check his soundcloud and Twitter if you make another video, it has a whole bunch more stuff such as hints at other songs and albums, lots more content and stuff to cover.
There's a huge story (some have even put together an arg of sorts).
yea, I knew there was probably more, but I wasn’t sure how deep I wanted to go into it. I didn’t want the project to be a huge thing, just wanted to get the video out. I can possibly make a part 2 if it peaks my interest again but I don’t know if I want to bother with it just yet.
Very interesting
@@Steven-si7ff understandable
This was actually a very very good vid dude, nice job.
this is amazing. i applaud you and i love you.
i really liked this video!! thank you for making it :]
This is an awesome video, had it not been for you saying it was your first video, I would have certainly mistook it for being something like the 500th video you've done. The whole thing was clean and crystal clear. Great video dude! keep it up!!
Lad actually subtitled his video.
Incredible analysis, really enjoyed it and definitiv underrated! Keep up the great work! :)
This 8:22
And this 8:37
And THIS 9:08
It felt like my state of mind was just described in front of me
Cant wait till this pops up on my recomemded, great work!
I've loved zalinki for.. forever. i remember when he hyped up the release of mafia football. he's always been my favorite creator. he released a lot of mini songs on his RUclips account and they're now either unlisted or private. loved his animations, his songs... everything. but i never really knew him. I don't know him and it kills me because i love this creator so much. and he just hates it. i searched for over a year for a deleted song of his because it was literally the only thing that held my mind together for months. damnit zalinki, why do you do this? why must i love you, when ill never even meet you?
This hits home I know exactly what you feel, he was and still is my favorite create and a source of inspiration, I love him and his content very much and hope to just magically cross paths one day with him as well
God i love you for bringing attention to such a great channel, really wish more people knew about my gorious Zalinking 👑
Man thanks for putting all this into words I couldn't explain why I liked it but this is it
Great video! Definitely explained the video in a great way! Earned my sub thats for sure.
Holy shit this is amazing! Please continue making these
The reason it all happened is because they fight over cake, the last slice, it shows it on the album cover
Aye this video popped off, you should def consider making more
Underrated video 👍
I started to understand it as time went on and the more I watched the music video over and over and watched more videos by Zalinki I got it...I FINALLY GOT IT Take my sub kind sir
great video actually looks neat
great video! when i first saw this i through, wow this must be a really popular video, just how does this not have more views
thought*
This resonates with my grind to 40k points in Mariokart 8 Deluxe. I was trying to gain a large amount of points for validation.
It started as passion, then became chore, trying to show the others that I had what it took to be playing with them.
You announcing your age at the end bewildered me, this is great! I thought you were closer to my age like maybe early 20s but no.
You have a lot of potential man! :D Keep it up!
amazing video dude
"Majority of the people in the building couldn't care less what he did"
_Well no shit_
Good video essay. I think you nailed it's overall themes and elements that were greatly unappreciated by the various youtube commenters.
If you're open to criticism, then I would suggest rerecording your audio rather than keeping the parts you stumble. That and monitoring the volume levels. But take that as you will and/or want to
very cool
Good video I’m gonna sub
This is a good video i like what ur doing never seen someone this small have such good content only advice would be do more retakes on words you stutter on but other than that great
I like how it uses the background of the video from his lookin into the future.
Pog
Nice profile picture dude
@@paprika059 ayyyyy
@@Zach135 eyyyyyy
I think the CZ workplace is more than what you explained.
People are roaming around, busy, fast and overall hard at work, and i think the workplace is a hive full of people who take notes on subscribers and ONLY subscribers, and what they can do to improve and grow.
CZ as I see it, is representation of the public, one wrong move can make the whole workforce stand still and analyze, take note, and get back to work, making an effort not to do it again. As i analyze the relationship between AZ and CZ, its apparent that CZ abuses him, leaving him in the janitors closet to work and overall carry the workplace on his shoulders.
AZ is the true CEO of the workplace, at least it should be.
I think at one point AZ was the head of the environment, having nobody to work for him, passionate, hardworking, but as he grew, he grew paranoid about the publics perception, soon hiring these people himself. At the end paranoia manifested into its own fanbase, being CZ, and soon ran the whole thing while AZ is forced to work, not for himself, but for others.
CZ has no empathy for AZ because they are absolutely ignorant to the AZ's feelings, and in a way, a part of him does not care to know him at all.
nice
I do think I would like more videos like this for you but I have some criticism. At the start of the video it sounded very ironic. I’m not sure if that was your attention or not. Next I think you spent to long explaining everything a 10 minute video is long for it being at a 3 minute video, I think you repeated points a lot and explaining things that can easily been observed in the video. The video still was entertaining and I do think you should make more like it.
yea, at the start I was hoping the “it’s ridiculous, but in a funny way” would clear up the fact that it wasn’t meant to be a rant video and I was just being hyperbolic
as for the length, I can understand where you’re coming from, but do you have any more specific pointers on _which_ points I restated? I’m not sure how I would trim it down any more than I already have
@@Steven-si7ff rewatching the video I do take back you repeating points., I think the concussion part of the video made me feel that way. The concussion doesn’t feel never necessary to me because you spent the last 8 minute explaining points that were already pretty easy to understand., I think it would have been better it just being a sentence rapping up the video rather than reexplaining the points.
I'm sorry did you say 14 year old? You were 14 when you made this?! Jesus dude, you got some crazy talent and a very intelligent mind.
Janitor could also be a personifcation of loving the insanity of overworking yourself and stress. Maybe I'm wrong, but I know there have been times working long hours and getting shit on that you just smile and vibe through it. That after so much crazyness you just have to laugh at the abserity of it.
Quite nice for a first video!
Only commentary I have, is that I think there's some significance in CZ and AZ being both, well, Zalinki's (segments or permutations of him, at least), but the janitor? The one who performs a job shamelessly and with great joy, perhaps even flair, for his own enjoyment regardless of the audience? He is *not* a zalinki. He is someone else. He's not even generic in the same way all the office goons are, the eyes are different, being just slits. He is a blank slate, for sure, but he is still marked as different from the truly interchangeable cogs in the skits. I think that's something worth mentioning and examining.
oh, and you may want to have done another pass on some of the audio lines; A few coughs and duplicated works cut through there, detracted from the points being made. Gotta say, fine job on the visual editing though, very serviceable!
CooM Ethernal
RUclips recommendations really calling me out rn 😅
I want the last cake slice
Will this blow up? Yes
You should do a vid on some of zalinkis other music like tired of the noise or stood a chance
I like ham
same
Amen brother
All i can say is, damn
Wait do the three characters represent the ego superego and ID
Constructive criticism: the background music during the conclusion was a tad too loud. Could barely hear you. Good video though
0:00 - 0:08 what the h e l l
Hah those are the people that find and reupload his lost music and those in his discord
Nah man this is just a video about a usual Saturday
i gave the 969th like, hah nice
I think the slice of cake is simbolic
Great review, I love zalinki, I love your content, maybe one day you'll get super big, maybe I'll get super big too and you might review an animation I made, gimme a minute tho I'm still practicing
zalinki lore
*Isn’t this the bus g-*
All the 3 characters are about 1 person:
*The Janitor* is what the person wants to be. Happy, careless and has 0 regrets.
*The CEO* is how the person thinks other people see him, a cold narcissistic yet successful douché. *The CEO* also acts as a persona to the person can hide behind.
*The guy in the storage room* is what the person actually is. He basically has the *big sad* .
The guy needs help but he doesn't want to look vulnerable so he hides behind his *_Cool CEO persona_* . Because of this, he started to lose friends as said in the lyric:
_If people don't stay, then you can't really blame 'em, when being around you f-ing sucks!_
This causes the character to fall deeper in his *big sad* .
3 minute video to 11 minutes
Think you could do Everywhere at the End of Time in 20 hours?
wait what the fuck this is the phighting guy
