Why it worked
The video likely worked due to its use of popular internet memes and personalities, combined with a surreal and unexpected visual style. The rapid-fire edits and nonsensical juxtapositions create a sense of absurdity that is highly shareable on platforms like TikTok.
Summary
The video starts with a visual representation of crushing lapis lazuli into diamonds, referencing the game Minecraft. It then transitions into a series of surreal and humorous edits featuring various internet personalities and memes, all loosely connected by the theme of "peace" and the song "GLOW" by MXZI. The edits are visually chaotic and nonsensical, culminating in a distorted Tesla logo and various figures expressing confusion or amusement.
