The selfish part of me wants to keep this band as my little secret but another part of me wants them to be famous for the amazing music they're putting out :):
Crybaby in The Neighbourhood since 1975 I'm crushing on you Crybaby! is that profile pic you or a sexier younger Rachel McAdams in a cool Tim Burton flick! lls you're hot mama! subscribed!
*Lyrics* You see with golden eyes The novocain lullaby Reach and crack the sky With an open mouth, peace inside American eyes Cherry cheeks and bloodshot eyes American eyes See peace on earth, and truth in lies Violet, trying to start your riot Trying to get up and then go So the world will always know Violet, you and your fucked up riot Trying to get up and then go So the world will always know Then you'll come to me With a bitter wind, in agony Clean the reds, you'll see The sky is lushed in the company Of those American eyes See good on earth and truth in lies Violet, trying to start your riot Trying to get up and then go So the world will always know Violet, you and your fucked up riot Trying to get up and then go So the world will always know You go go go... Violet... Oh, Violet...
Thank you Spotify for suggesting me Hippo Campus... started with Suicide Saturday and now I have all EPs and the new album. This is one of my favourite songs.
This video makes me wanna shop at a whole foods market, read poems from the book "milk and honey" and put white Christmas lights around my room for decoration lol anybody wanna go to the thrift store with me and listen to the smiths on the way?
every generation will have artists who dont know shit about music and get famous and there will always be examples of the opposite . you dont really ever have to worry about a generation's musicality , you have to worry about the shit that people are buying into
I really appreciate this comment. I hate reading complaints like "there is no good music these days." It makes me feel so sad that people feel that way, because there is sooooooo much beautiful noise out there.
True! The sad part is what the industry is trying to stuff down our ears. I'm happy for the internet to find new, great bands. I never worried for the future generations, but now I have solid hope.
How does a band from Minnesota, which is the opposite of the beach and Valley area, have such a California sound? I've been listening to them for a while and their music embodies fun, almost beach-like sounds
Here in Minnesota, we have nothing but the free-time to experiment with new sounds. Keep in mind, that many people on the west coast are mid-westerners who have gone on an exodus
the worst thing about finding an awesome band is when it's already 1am and you can't stop listening to their songs/watch their videos, look up the band background story, and you know you have to wake up at 6am for work.
So glad to have seen them live and the fact they did this as the encore blew me away. If you ever get the chance to see them live it’s worth it they sound just as good!
I thought the name Hippo Campus was just some hipster nonsense but in psych class today I learned there's a section of the brain called the Hippocampus and it deals with memory and emotion and I think that's fucking awesome.
chris cooper I associate with 'hippocampus' the greek myth thing which is partly horse and partly fish, like.. a underwater horse? (Thanks to Percy Jackson, gosh, how much I loved those books)
This reminds me of when I was introduced to the 1975. I got a RUclips recommendation for UGH! and a week or so after that the song got HUGE. Honestly I hope the same thing happens this time because this is golden.
:( I randomly remember this song every now and then. It got mad popular during my second year of college, everyone was listening to it. Then in 2016 Hippo Campus came here to Vegas for the Life is Beautiful festival. Now I'm working an 8-5 job, and we're in the middle of pandemic, and songs like these always take me back to those better times. Man, where did the last several years go?
I fucking love this song watched it first time when it was a month old now that I come back to it years later I miss the memories and the emotions that came from this amazing song the whole ep has been on repeat for the past week
Same here. Hippopotamus is a funny word. so is Hippo. so thats why I clicked but then so cool to hear that a section of the brain called the Hippocampus :D
Went to their concert last night after listening to their songs on repeat for about 2 months, all because this video popped into my RUclips recommended
The greatest joy in life is giving, and there is only one thing you can give - your love! Your love, your joy, your positivity, your excitement, your gratitude, and your passion are the true and everlasting things in life.
I have seen them live already live at the current concert last year their voices are so memorizing. I was in the front Viking with Jake..totally love his voice and instrumental is cool and mellow. It was a hot day. I was dancing and sweaty. It was great..... Minnesotan
what I've always loved about these guys are that they're actually talented, and their lyrics are way more intelligent than anyone's out at the moment. I could see you guys being really popular real soON!!
Sahara Athens This video is 4 minutes 8 seconds long 1 watch (if watched completely)= 4×60+8 seconds =248 seconds 16483 watches = 248 × 16483 seconds =4087784 seconds =68129 minutes =1135.4 hours =47 days Get a life
rewatching all their videos while i wait for the next album lol, and i remember this video is how i found them in the first place back in 2017 :))) super glad that i did
I don't usually click on a band that has "VEVO" on it, but this one seemed good, and with an "I'm going to be dissapointed" in my head, I clicked. I suscribed.
Stumbled into a random video via youtube recommendation. Totally satisfied with this song, maybe hippo campus might be a new band that I'm looking for in my search of new bands to listen to.
i found this video 2 years ago, and now hippo is my favorite band. this is still my all-time favorite song by them. thank you, youtube's endless list of indie music recommendations! ✌️
Not sure what I'm more obsessed about. Is it the song? This awesome band's name? Their looks? The fricking aesthetic??? Like I almost never actually watch a music video more then a few times, but with this one I can't look away!
It's 2021 and they still aren't a household name. THEY SHOULD HAVE BROKEN OUT BY NOW! Hopefully Boys finally breaks through. They are too good to be dismissed for so long. I don't even care if the fame goes to their heads, they deserve it.
you got the pinata, that is meant to be broken, the helmet, that is supposed to protect you, and the heart, and they all got wrecked in the end, and the firework icecream :D
I once heard this as a suggestion on youtube but I never listened to it fully. The next day I decided to give it a try but I was very hesitant about it thinking it wasn’t gonna be good but here I am now weeks later listening to so many songs made by them and yet I’m not tired of listening to a single one
this was from over two years ago. why am i just now being recommended this amazing song now? edit: 6 months later and this is my favorite fucking band / another edit: lmao two years later and hippo campus still remains to be, my favorite band
I found these guys like a year and a half ago and did that thing where you sorta skim through a song because it’s just a random “indie-pop-alternative” suggested song that showed up. And I didn’t really care, but then after a couple months I came back to them and really listened to a bunch of their songs and now they’re one of my favorite bands :) Sad I missed them when they were in my city.
Violeta Miras con ojos dorados La canción de cuna Alcanza y agrieta el cielo Con una boca abierta, paz dentro Ojos americanos Mejillas de cereza y ojos llenos de sangre Ojos americanos Mira la paz en la tierra, y verdad en mentiras Violeta, intentando empezar tu alboroto Intentando levantarte e irte Para que el mundo siempre sepa Violeta, tu y tu jodido alboroto Intentado pararte e irte Para que el mundo siempre lo sepa Luego vendrás a mi Con un viento amargo, en agonía Limpia los rojos, veras El cielo esta exuberante en la compañía De aquellos ojos americanos Mira bien en la tierra y verdad en mentiras Violeta, intentando empezar tu alboroto Intentando levantarte e irte Para que el mundo siempre sepa Violeta, tu y tu jodido alboroto Intentado pararte e irte Para que el mundo siempre lo sepa Tu vas vas vas
Jake makes me wanna become a banana just so I can be in that room with him. Why are all of the guys in this band so attractive and why is their music so good HOW ARE THEY THE TOTAL PACKAGE
the song is great and so are their jawlines
Your likes on this comment are currently 420 as I type this comment. Be proud of that
the two criteria yes
lmao
me
I concur with you. They are so beautiful (or handsome) and on top of that all of them have talent.
This is one of those songs you didn't know you were looking for/needed until you came across it on accident
ElizabethZhealy I fuckin love this comment my guy, its so damn true
ElizabethZhealy LOL OK I GOT IT
Indeed
ElizabethZhealy I actually had to do a project on the Hippocampus and I came upon this
ElizabethZhealy exactly 💯
Addicted to the colours in this
Notice how there's no violet, though? She's only in the lyrics 🤔
Pastel
JOEY
Looking back at this 8 years later and seeing how young and little they were compared to now makes me feel so happy and sad at the same time 😭🫶
Its like Young the Giant and Two Door Cinema Club had a love child. Almost brings a tear to my eye.
A very apt description. I couldn't quite place but that fits so well! Both are very good indie bands as well. 👍
Why is this accurate
So much aesthetic in one video
The Walrus Channel desperate minimalists
Nicolas Mayorca that sounds like a band name. Or a book title.
The Walrus Channel exactly what i thought
The Walrus Channel I was looking for this comment👌
The selfish part of me wants to keep this band as my little secret but another part of me wants them to be famous for the amazing music they're putting out :):
WORD!!!
I went to there concert two weeks ago and the singer is low key rude
+Nadia Tolar really? like how? :o
How? :o
+Nadia Tolar I went to their concert back in may and the singer was the furthest from rude
almost all their songs emanate this sort of...chill, melancholic vibe. really good.
The wiggles are so hip now 🤙🏽
I WAS JUST THINKING THIS ASDJKJKJ
LMAO I-
underrated comment
OH MY GOD
5 years later, still a bop
true
Facts
almost 6 years
Yupp
RUclips killin' it with the recommended videos lately. Hot dang.
Austin Palmer Same though.
Austin Palmer True, true.

Yas
I'm so honored and glad to be able to know this band before they're really big :)
John Amico Ikr
same lol I know them since 2014 and at this time there was only one video about them on RUclips
So am I
I doubt they will become big tbh, there are 100 other bands with a similar sound.. Just saying!
John Amico same lol
I think I found my new favorite band. Bless RUclips recommendations
I did do that too, with two door cinema club
7 years later still a banger
Plot twist: they don’t look towards the camera so that all you can see are their blade-like jawlines
Beautiful jawlines
I'm seriously crushing on all of them.❤️💚💙💜
usually i hate these types of names but i'll let this one pass because of the 1975
pathetic Lol. Thank you for sparing me. The 1975 saves everything and everyone! 😂❤️️😊
i love ur username and ur pfp omg im triggered

*Lyrics*
You see with golden eyes
The novocain lullaby
Reach and crack the sky
With an open mouth, peace inside
American eyes
Cherry cheeks and bloodshot eyes
American eyes
See peace on earth, and truth in lies
Violet, trying to start your riot
Trying to get up and then go
So the world will always know
Violet, you and your fucked up riot
Trying to get up and then go
So the world will always know
Then you'll come to me
With a bitter wind, in agony
Clean the reds, you'll see
The sky is lushed in the company
Of those American eyes
See good on earth and truth in lies
Violet, trying to start your riot
Trying to get up and then go
So the world will always know
Violet, you and your fucked up riot
Trying to get up and then go
So the world will always know
You go go go...
Violet...
Oh, Violet...
The first one is Americanized the others are American eyes
True heroes post the lyrics in the comments
No third chorus :( = listens obsessively.
Gracias!
These guys are theoretically the perfect boyband:
Cute guys that can play.
They're all so good-looking and good at music and I can't handle it
theyre gonna get huge arent they
hopefully
Nah. They're too good to get on the radio.
+johngordonp give it a year. always happens, always sucks.
I hate it, but I love it when a band I like gets popular
hell yeah they are
Discovering really good unknown indie bands is like finding a million dollars under your couch
so you're saying that's impossible?
TBQH I'll take the million dollars every time.
no, but you get the same rush, and the gain in value is relatively comparable so to speak@@nomenome856
listened exclusively to them in twelfth grade, and revisiting this song when i'm an incoming college senior makes this song smell like the sun
Bass and main guitarist, hot diggity damn
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
That’d be espo and turntan aka Zach Sutton and Jake Luppen
Agree
Renata Müller main guitarist = lead guitarist and the lead guitarist is nathan, if they meant jake they’d probably just would have said ‘singer’
Going to be a part of my university's radio station and you best believe I'll be playing Hippo Campus every week
Amber P does anyone even listen to uni stations
Why is everyone in this band hot
the guy playing the drums looks like a girl in my math class
They should use your comment as an album title.
bcs they dont have a fan
+Nur Afisyah ha
haysifa haysifa hahaha you had me cracking there! XD
wtf is with youtube recommendations nowadays? I mean, they're pretty dope omfg THANKS RUclips 🤘🏼
Seriously! That's how I got here too.
exactly me
billie bart Same 8)
I saw this in my recommendations too, only clicked on it bc I think they'll be at bonnaroo so I was curious.
Same happened here
this came up on my recommended page 7 years ago and since then i've been a fan of you guys 💜
I love how they recommend crap and when they finally recommend something good, it's 2 years late :/
Ƒedelle Đort I know
*3 years :\
Ƒedelle Đort 3 years late for me
*4 years
DAMNR RIGHT
Thank you Spotify for suggesting me Hippo Campus... started with Suicide Saturday and now I have all EPs and the new album. This is one of my favourite songs.
So underrated omg I love these guysss
This video makes me wanna shop at a whole foods market, read poems from the book "milk and honey" and put white Christmas lights around my room for decoration lol anybody wanna go to the thrift store with me and listen to the smiths on the way?
Sherbert The destroyer same oml
Sherbert The destroyer LITERALLY
on my way now 😂😂
please be my bestfriend
Sherbert The destroyer only if it's 'the queen is dead'!!!,........
Can't imagine what my life would look like without ur music
When I want something new to listen to I'll click a random song and hopefully discover something good. this was that song and I'm happy.
This band gives me hope for the younger generation's musicality. I dig it. Perhaps the best is yet to come after all...
every generation will have artists who dont know shit about music and get famous and there will always be examples of the opposite . you dont really ever have to worry about a generation's musicality , you have to worry about the shit that people are buying into
this generation is about to bring rock and roll back to life
I really appreciate this comment. I hate reading complaints like "there is no good music these days." It makes me feel so sad that people feel that way, because there is sooooooo much beautiful noise out there.
BEAUTIFUL NOISE! Great comment, too. :) We are lucky enough to hear it all, why complain?!
True! The sad part is what the industry is trying to stuff down our ears. I'm happy for the internet to find new, great bands. I never worried for the future generations, but now I have solid hope.
this song feels timeless. it came up on my shuffle and I thought it was from 20 years ago
literally nothing bad at all that comes from this band, only great things
swear every single song they've come out with so far is scary good
SO IS THE NEW ALBUM AAHHHHHH
How does a band from Minnesota, which is the opposite of the beach and Valley area, have such a California sound? I've been listening to them for a while and their music embodies fun, almost beach-like sounds
Zac Artman jfc i thought they were british
TheSweetestCurse they have that typical British indie sound to me, or is he just putting on an accent
nah they have the british indie sound down to a notch, that's why most of their new fans are from the UK
Zac Artman people don’t understand Minneapolis, that’s why.
Here in Minnesota, we have nothing but the free-time to experiment with new sounds. Keep in mind, that many people on the west coast are mid-westerners who have gone on an exodus
Thanks for the great music hippocampus, this is the most original sound I've heard in some time 😎
Violet always makes me think of *All The Bright Places* and now I’m sad
Great song though
indigo violet my name is violet😋
Okay wow now I’m thinking of that book and now I’m sad,, maaaann rip
indigo violet same
The best book in existence.
the worst thing about finding an awesome band is when it's already 1am and you can't stop listening to their songs/watch their videos, look up the band background story, and you know you have to wake up at 6am for work.
For some reason, youtube recommended me this and now I am in love .What would be the most accurate way to define this genre? Indie Rock?
Yuurr
indie rock alternative
pop according to genius
It’s sorta Midwest emo esque but not rly too much
Rock alternative
So glad to have seen them live and the fact they did this as the encore blew me away. If you ever get the chance to see them live it’s worth it they sound just as good!
This song is so brilliant! Heard it in January 2017 and have been obsessing over this band since 😄 They are so talented!
I thought the name Hippo Campus was just some hipster nonsense but in psych class today I learned there's a section of the brain called the Hippocampus and it deals with memory and emotion and I think that's fucking awesome.
chris cooper
You didn't knew? Oh boy, well, whatever;)
chris cooper
I associate with 'hippocampus' the greek myth thing which is partly horse and partly fish, like.. a underwater horse? (Thanks to Percy Jackson, gosh, how much I loved those books)
It's another word for a hippopotamus
see? not everything is always what is seems
it also means seahorse
hippo campus is literally my favorite band.
3:45 I always laugh when I see the drummer singing "Violet".
He's actually the one who sings it on the recording, and live!
Brian Sobel
LOL!!! The irony!
All the riches in the world cannot even come close to the most priceless gift in all the creation - the love inside you. Thank you.
I love it so much when music artist play their instruments uniquely, like look at the way each of them move when they play
This reminds me of when I was introduced to the 1975. I got a RUclips recommendation for UGH! and a week or so after that the song got HUGE. Honestly I hope the same thing happens this time because this is golden.
love it more than anything please get huge
Hey, size doesn't matter.
that's what she said
two types of people in this world ^^
wow. i nvr heard of this band before.. i already like them
i like how everyone else is really jerky and sharp when they are jamming and then zach just wiggles a lot. it's adorable
:( I randomly remember this song every now and then. It got mad popular during my second year of college, everyone was listening to it. Then in 2016 Hippo Campus came here to Vegas for the Life is Beautiful festival. Now I'm working an 8-5 job, and we're in the middle of pandemic, and songs like these always take me back to those better times. Man, where did the last several years go?
I apologies on behalf of the 741 people who disliked this video, they were awaiting an ear transplant.
Thanks mate
got em
THANK YOU SO MUCH RUclips
RUclips RECOMMENDATIONS SAVING THE WORLD ONCE AGAIN

fuck this song and this video is so aesthetically pleasing you guys are so good
what I've always loved about these guys are that they're actually talented, and their lyrics are way more intelligent than anyone's out at the moment. I could see you guys being really popular real soON!!
Yeah I just went to the live show yesterday, literally the best way to start the year😤‼️
The most satisfied music video ever
Why not name your band as "the jawlines"? Great music btw.
When I read that I immediately looked at all of their jaw lines and *HOT DAMN*
Lmaooo
mzrr77 😂😂perfect

Yay! Another band to add to my indie collection
RUclips recommendations stepping up their game oh shit
I've re-watched this maybe 16483 times
Sahara Athens
This video is 4 minutes 8 seconds long
1 watch (if watched completely)= 4×60+8 seconds
=248 seconds
16483 watches = 248 × 16483 seconds
=4087784 seconds
=68129 minutes
=1135.4 hours
=47 days
Get a life
I only use RUclips for music thats the joke's punchline lmao😂
saugat J I came here to do that yet you beat me to it
music good, content bad dude if youre watching one video for 47 days straight you should consider getting a life.
end of 2018 and start of my indie music phase,
thank you for being a great band making great music.
rewatching all their videos while i wait for the next album lol, and i remember this video is how i found them in the first place back in 2017 :))) super glad that i did

you got the pinata, that is meant to be broken, the helmet, that is supposed to protect you, and the heart, and they all got wrecked in the end, and the firework icecream :D
my absolute favourite part of this video is when the hand hits the pinata to the beat- that shit was satisfying af
I love how aesthetically pleasing this is

edit: 6 months later and this is my favorite fucking band / another edit: lmao two years later and hippo campus still remains to be, my favorite band
this is still one of the most visually pleasing music videos of all time

Ah. The video and song that started my love for you boys ❤️ still a jam
Violeta
Miras con ojos dorados
La canción de cuna
Alcanza y agrieta el cielo
Con una boca abierta, paz dentro
Ojos americanos
Mejillas de cereza y ojos llenos de sangre
Ojos americanos
Mira la paz en la tierra, y verdad en mentiras
Violeta, intentando empezar tu alboroto
Intentando levantarte e irte
Para que el mundo siempre sepa
Violeta, tu y tu jodido alboroto
Intentado pararte e irte
Para que el mundo siempre lo sepa
Luego vendrás a mi
Con un viento amargo, en agonía
Limpia los rojos, veras
El cielo esta exuberante en la compañía
De aquellos ojos americanos
Mira bien en la tierra y verdad en mentiras
Violeta, intentando empezar tu alboroto
Intentando levantarte e irte
Para que el mundo siempre sepa
Violeta, tu y tu jodido alboroto
Intentado pararte e irte
Para que el mundo siempre lo sepa
Tu vas vas vas
Guau !🙂😊😉
JHAAHAHHAAHA WTF
Jake makes me wanna become a banana just so I can be in that room with him. Why are all of the guys in this band so attractive and why is their music so good HOW ARE THEY THE TOTAL PACKAGE
I can’t even express how much I love this song...
I'm seriously starting to love them, I've been listening to every single song and watching every live performance and interview...oh boy.
