music video for “What We Are” by Beginners

Hips murmur the lyrics as bodies sway to the beat. Breasts watch you as you watch them. Slime abounds over pop-colored curves. It’s not sexy, but it’s not not sexy. It’s a “fuck you” of sorts leveled at puritanical notions of femininity. It’s an absurdist embrace of the fine line between the grotesque and the erotic– sent with loving snark. Above all, it embraces femme force.
