Childish Gambino’s 3005 Video FINALLY Explained

Dissect unpacks the meaning behind Childish Gambino’s 3005 music video. Far from a simple love song, 3005 expresses Gambino’s existential loneliness on display throughout the world of Because The Internet. Through the video’s use of a few key symbols (a decaying teddy bear, ferris wheel) and a unique looping structure, Donald Glover questions our so-called solutions to the existential threats of the world. Finally, we compare 3005 and This Is America, and how Glover uses the same visual technique to convey a similar overall message. This video is a part of the Dissect Podcast’s 13 episode season analyzing the music, lyrics, and meaning of Because The Internet by Childish Gambino.
