Kids

MGMT took a unique approach to something everyone goes through when they are growing up. That the world is scary but adults seem to forget what it is like so we are on our own in the big scary world full of monsters. The video takes you through a day in the life of a toddler. We are so small and new to the world at that time everything seems scary. By making all the people in the video actual monsters makes the point they are trying to make clear. They use a quote by Mark Twain in the very beginning of the video, "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby becomes a monster and if you gaze into for long into an abyss. The abyss gazes also into you". This is the point of the entire video. If we become consumed with the monsters of the world, we will begin to become one of the monsters and the cycle starts for another person. This also applies to older people, saying we can use a lesson that we were taught in our lives as children in our adult lives.
