Alternative Press released a new article, in which the magazine’s editors looked at the alternative music scene’s past music videos and tried to find the best ones that were set in high school. The final list that includes 15 bands’ music videos cannot be missing the good old classics, such as Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, Paramore’s ‘Misery Business’, My Chemical Romance’s ‘I’m Not Okay’… and of course: Simple Plan’s ‘I’m Just A Kid’, which will coincidentally also celebrate 15 years since its release this year!
However, ‘I’m Just A Kid’ also wasn’t the only music video by Simple Plan that was set in high school – in 2011 the band made a return to the high school grounds for prom, which was the main theme of the music video for ‘Can’t Keep My Hands Off You’.
Check out what Alternative Press had to say about Simple Plan’s first music video and remind yourselves of the younger versions of our SP boys in ‘I’m Just A Kid’ itself below:
“I’M JUST A KID” – SIMPLE PLAN (2002)
If there were ever a song that perfectly described the youthful sentiment of “Nobody understands me!” this would be it. Filled with Schadenfreude, the video features the members of the band getting injured while trying to win over the same girl, while the nerd gets the girl in the end.
FUN FACT: “I’m Just A Kid” has been featured in three different movies: Grind, The New Guy and Cheaper By The Dozen.
