NEWNOW | Off the Air | Adult Swim

I watched this many times while tripping in my early 20s, now at 27m I look back and crave the experiences i had then. Time goes on and on, don't let it pass you up.

This show is the height of art in the 21st century. it contains photography, cinematography, the wildest animations I've ever seen either drawn or computer animated. In addition, the progressive music selection doesn't disappoint, all of these surreal forms of art set around an ambiguous theme makes this show the most advanced form of art man has seen to this point. You don't need drugs to have art resonate in you, tho it certainly doesn't hurt either. I will be watching this episode a few more times to see what more I can ascertain.

Seeing this on the TV extremely late at night is incredibly beautiful.

For everyone looking for the music (and for the critics of this episode as well), it's called NewNow because all of these artists were brought in to write music specifically for this episode of OTA. It's not supposed to feel like OTA because it's actually a showcase for these musicians and animations without having to stick to a specific theme.

The music is impossible to find. I wish Adult Swim would do a year-round singles program where you could get the music used in their transition logos between shows and Off The Air episodes. It doesn't even have to be free just hook me up

these episodes are so important, i've watched some of them on acid including this one and it honestly takes you on a journey, one scene can make you feel so sad and humbled, then the next will bring you to happy uplifted place that celebrates the best parts of human nature. It has had such an impact on me that whenever i feel low or lose faith in humanity i watch these and they remind me of all the good and beauty in our world. The scene were the women gets a package for a new life band makes me feel such a complex cocktail of emotions, i dont know what it means for sure but it is my interpretation of it that makes it special to me, the same applies for all the content in this video, all it takes is the right setting, mindset or interpretation from yourself to make the most of this video, some people might not understand the complexity of art and emotion in this video as the themes are so implicit, for example my interpretation of the scene with the women and the new life band is an allegory for boredom or a lack of sense of purpose, the women stands in her house living a life but she longs for something more as all humans do, she uses some kind of drug to explore her consciousness and search for a deeper meaning. her reality alters and she sees color tracers from her hand, she is more than just a body and a mind but a beautiful soul. She then sees a monster which to me represents the things within ourselves that we are unhappy with, scared of or things in our consciousness that can only be faced and dealt with through the use of the drug she used, which is likely to be a psychadelic of somekind. When she faces this monster instead of being scared and trying to hide or hurt it she accepts it as a part of herself and in that decision finally becomes at peace within herself. She embraces and loves the dark, imperfect or embarrassing parts of herself and instead of being opposed to eachother they become one complete beautiful being. The song encompasses all these emotions too, it is the most beautiful thing i have seen and i hope other people take as much from these videos as i do.

I always found Adult Swim to being a great music source.

[Granite]

Off the Air is typically the best content AdultSwim offers...

[AJpRoDiGy]

4:36 helped me with the loss of my dad last year. Videos like this keep me grounded and I’m forever grateful for these guys

[RIXRADvidz]

the human language lacks superlatives to express my gratitude for bringing together these images and sharing them in this format.
Thanks for putting something Good on the wwweb.

Dave Hughes:
You are one of the most talented artists I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I don't understand how you can one-up yourself with each episode, but Off The Air is definitely something special.
Thank you so much

[bbloomfield]

The drone footage by Renee Lusano with those edits and datamosh effects.. BRILLIANT! Would love to be able to get a copy of that or just rip from here..

[officialspyer]

This is some trippy shit right here. Even without drugs I´m fucking disturbed by this

[Rouxgarou]

I love 3 a.m. adult swim acid trips, it reminds me of when me and my friends spend the night together and stay up doing stupid shit

[tire]

I never knew this show existed, thank you. I will now be taking disgusting amounts of psychedelics and watching this every week

[malafama]

Adult swim nostalgia randomness lol.
Still got that 90s/2000
madness.

[XPSYCHOIZEDX]

This is literally my fav thing to do while trippin is watch some off the air, absolutely beautiful, big thank you to everyone involved in the making of these♡

[StrangeDistortions]

80 people disliked this... how, just how can anyone not appreciate this at all?

[demolitiondestroyer]

I hope they never, ever stop making these

[derekcoleman]

Something real heavy happened during that clip of the truck burning. Brought me into a dark place real quick. A disturbing yet calm ghostly image of the camp fire in paradise, but yet this video came out in 2015. Fuckin chills me to the bone
