Recently, the video of Alien Ant Farm’s cover of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” was making the rounds on Twitter accompanied by the tweet: “back when life was great.” I watched the video several times, it’s filled with homages to Jackson’s other music videos, but I’d forgotten it takes place mostly in a boxing ring while people mosh and crowd surf around it. I’d also forgotten we were a culture who felt confident wearing collared shirts under t-shirts for the pure excess of it.
