Each day, Mashable highlights one noteworthy YouTube video. Check out all our viral video picks.
How do you get through to today’s shuffling “Lost Generation”? If actor Miles Fisher’s new music video is any indication, you mix nostalgia with comical violence set to a snappy tune and call it a day.
Although the vid doesn’t explicitly say that it’s cribbing ’90s sitcom Saved By The Bell‘s style, we would recognize Zack Morris’s — played by Fisher — blond bouffant any day.
Fisher, one of the stars of upcoming flick Final Destination 5, may be an actor by trade, but he also dabbles in music, creating what he calls “visual pop singles” in lieu of an album. Fisher scored ample viral acclaim for his American Psycho music video, a shot-by-shot remake of scenes from the iconic movie/book set to “This Must Be The Place” by the Talking Heads.
The video above, for Fisher’s own song “New Romance,” was created in part to promote the next installment of the Final Destination franchise, featuring the film’s cast and funded by the studio.
It also serves to promote Fisher as both an actor and a musician. “The actor’s business model is to prove that you’re worth watching — over and over again,” he says.
What do you think of the actor’s latest endeavor?
NB: NSFW, if you’re bothered by campy violence.
