Young Love Grows Up in The Menzingers' Video for "After the Party"

What happens when lust turns serious?

It's not much of a secret that we here at Noisey heckin' love the dang Menzingers. "What do you like so much about them?" you might be asking, very dumbassedly. Oh good question. Probably how they are the kings of nostalgic songwriting. Their songs make you remember all the times you've hopped turnstiles and gotten into deep conversation in diners before pulling a dine-and-dash to go fuck in your Toyota Camry. Their new video for "After the Party" captures all those amazing feelings and experiences of young romance before shifting into what it feels like when they suddenly hit the real world and life gets more complicated. The video shows the heavier, less glamorous side of those fuzzy memories the band is always writing about, and adds some much welcomed depth to the song.
