Fake Dopamine vs Real Dopamine

FAKE DOPAMINE REAL DOPAMINE

What it means

A couple in matching Christmas pajamas dances beside a decorated Christmas tree under the caption “FAKE DOPAMINE.” The clip then cuts to increasingly excessive sources of “REAL DOPAMINE”: drinking champagne, drinking beer surrounded by empty cans, a bathtub full of alcohol, and finally a person wearing a Batman mask. Set to Linkin Park’s “Somewhere I Belong,” the dramatic nu-metal mood humorously treats alcohol and chaotic indulgence as more powerful pleasure than harmless dancing.
