Foster The People Pumped Up KicksWatch at the source

Pumped Up Kicks, released in 2010, became a breakout hit for Foster The People with its infectious beat and dark, contemplative lyrics. The music video, directed by Josef Geiger, shows the band playing at different locations, including live performances and casual activities like playing frisbee and surfing. It juxtaposes the upbeat sound with a deeper message about youth violence. The video was filmed in part at the University of California, Riverside.
