M.I.A. is nothing if not provocative. Yesterday saw the release of the agitpop rappers self-directed music video for Double Bubble Trouble, one of the tracks off her 2013 album Matangi. The video starts off with an audio newscast introducing 3D-printed guns, which are ever-present in the short as the teens around her make out, blow vape rings, and dance under floating drones in their gray, grimy slums. Still, the teens in her video seem to be actively subverting this particular vision of an Orwellian dystopia, even if theyre trapped by it.
