Grades Don't Matter as an Adult

"Grades don't matter" mfs when they become an adult

What it means

A black-and-white video follows someone opening a pantry, handling bags of sugar, using a kitchen sink, watching a wall clock, and eventually encountering a uniformed worker. The caption jokes that academic grades stop mattering in adulthood, when ordinary responsibilities, chores, work, and time pressure take over; Alex G’s melancholic indie song “Mary” makes the mundane sequence feel dramatically sad and ironic.
