It drives me nuts that this is not roughly in chronological order like the original. Makes it feel half baked and way less impressive. That said, Billy Joel's chorus feels like some serious Boomer deflection these days.

Yeah the clips were out of order, and then they blurred out others. Lyrics were good but video sucked.

The lyrics are out of order though. The original starts in about 1949 and moves roughly forward in time, never backtracking by more than a year or two. The FOB lyrics are all over the place from the start:

Captain Planet 1990
Arab Spring 2010
LA Riots and Rodney King 1991
Deep Fakes 2015ish as a media thing?
Earthquakes without more context? Lame!
Iceland volcano, probably the 2010 of Eyjafjallajökull

True that was annoying.
