One thing I'd like to point out: the song is a very angry song, and the lyrics were written to match that anger. The song is definitely intended to convey a sense of anger that was felt by the community.

The video, on the other hand, is something completely different. If you're familiar with the original, the Beastie Boys wrote a very angry song and set a really funny video behind it (a parody of 70's cop dramas). The concept of angry song / funny video is kind of weird to me, tbh. The band thought it would be fun to do a parody of the original video, making it a parody of a parody. Of course it had to be really whacky and outlandish, because that's how DSK usually rolls.

If you think that laughter is the best medicine, then enjoy the video. Getting someone to smile when they're down can be helpful.

If you feel you're not ready to smile and you have some anger and frustration to let out, then cover the top 3/4 of the video (or scroll so you only see the bottom) and let it out by screaming along to the words on the bottom. Angry music can be therapeutic as well.
