Pretty cool, simply video with Devo-esque sounding band.
Apparently it was shot in one long take, with no CGI, or significant editing.
(note: video is not 10mins long, it's only 3mins or so)

The video also, unintentionally perhaps, celebrates YouTube's new video/audio quality.

I liked it.

Didn't get the imagery, though.

My favorite banter from the youtube comments (which has since been deleted):

The Band: "Robot High School allegorically questions what happens when our perspective and views of reality are manipulated by those in authority without any moral concern for the outcome."

Comment 1: "Good job, you Nazis."
