[edit] Music Video

The video for "The Future Freaks Me Out" is a take on the movie Rushmore^{[citation needed]}. It is set as a school play. There are many scenes depicted in it. They include: the old west, an office, the ocean, a funeral, and a concert. It was the first music video the band had ever made. Guitarist Joshua Cain's family helped out in the making of it, and stars in it as well.

The girl in the song, "Betty", is believed to be a reference to the band's merch girl, Beth.
