“Had a day in the studio where we were feeling bad about ourselves because SOME PEOPLE don’t appreciate angry synthesizers. Now we get to shake our hips to that neg energy in a healthy and productive way. Everybody wins,” Gaskarth wrote.

Now, they’ve dropped a video to go with it that takes inspiration from an infomercial. We see Gaskarth and Hoppus sporting a few iconic looks promoting products like a Snuggie, a Shamwow, a Shake Weight and more. Their faces are superimposed on a variety of different people’s bodies, making them transform into men, women and children of all ages in the ridiculous video.
