Gregory Pepper & His Problems

"Smart Phones for Stupid People" (video)

BY Sarah MurphyPublished Nov 17, 2016

Guelph-based musician Gregory Pepper dropped his enthusiastically titled latest record CHORUS! CHORUS! CHORUS! last summer, and before he heads down to the States for SXSW later this week, he's unveiled a brand new video for "Smart Phones for Stupid People."
 
Channelling his love of '90s alt-rock into a snappy barely-a-minute-long tirade against the smartphone generation, Pepper has now paired the track with some footage of mindless toilet time phone scrolling to really drive his point home. Food photos, cat videos and hotdog legs all come under fire in the new clip, which was directed by Emma Corby.
