“John’s Vid” came out pretty strong with no kind of hype. If I remember correct the only hints of it coming was when Cyrus talked about it in his Pals Questions. Do you always prefer to have a video come out with no hype?
Yeah besides Cyrus talking about it nobody really knew it was coming. But yeah I didn’t really want to tell anyone, I feel like the more you hype something up the more anticipation it brings. I just think it’s cool for a video to just pop up and be good.
I remember when I first saw it I had to watch Cyrus’s part a few times before I could move on to the rest of the video. He really put in work for that part.
Yeah he had an amazing year in 2020. I remember looking back and thinking of all the crazy shit he did last year. I didn’t even tell anyone at Thrasher that the video was coming but apparently Cyrus could have easily been a SOTY contender had they’d known. But I just didn’t think about that at all.
