Vampire-Weekend - Modern Vampires Of The City
“Diane Young” Seems To Be The “fun” Song About Death On "Modern Vampires Of The City" An Album Full Of Death. The Title “Diane Young” Is A Play On Words Of “dying Young.” You Could Say They’re Burning The Old Preppy Incarnation Of The Band Given The Visual Referent To Godard’s Week End The Inspiration For The “Mansard Roof” And “Oxford Comma” Videos. It Is About Youth Revolutionaries In 1968 France In A Time Who Act Out Because Nothing Not Even Money Can Resolve Their Drift And Unrest. More Specifically The Godard Film Referenced In The “about Diane Young” Section Depicts Youth Revolution Against Bourgeois Culture Often Emblematized By “preppy” Imagery . The Revolution In The Film However Is Even More Self-Destructive And Barbaric Than The Capitalistic Society It Attempts To Replace And Displays Like The Song An Ambivalence Towards Time Itself. The Music Video Is A Play On The Last Supper And Jesus Died Young As Well—at Age 33. However Guests At The V-Dubs Last Supper Don’t Include The Likes Of Judas But Include Despot Sky Ferreira Dave Longstreth Of Dirty Projectors Hamilton Leithauser Of The Walkmen Chromeo Santigold And Ezra Koenig’s Longtime Friend Andrei Padlowski. Balaclava Jesus Puts Koenig Who Plays Judas Whispering In Christ’s Ear In Confrontation With A Stand-In For Death Who Looks Like Himself. Interestingly There Is No Information About Primo Kahn The Director And Star Of The Video On The Internet. Is Kahn May Be A New Koenig Pseudonym Like MCA’s Nathanial Hornblower?

“Diane Young” seems to be the “fun” song (about death) on "Modern Vampires Of The City", an album full of death. The title, “Diane Young”, is a play on words of “dying young.”
You could say they’re burning the old preppy incarnation of the band given the visual referent to Godard’s Week End, the inspiration for the “Mansard Roof” and “Oxford Comma” videos. It is about youth revolutionaries in 1968 France in a time who act out because nothing, not even money, can resolve their drift and unrest. More specifically, the Godard film referenced in the “about Diane Young” section depicts youth revolution against bourgeois culture (often emblematized by “preppy” imagery). The revolution in the film, however, is even more self-destructive and barbaric than the capitalistic society it attempts to replace, and displays (like the song) an ambivalence towards time itself.
The music video is a play on the Last Supper, and Jesus died young as well—at age 33. However, guests at the V-Dubs last supper don’t include the likes of Judas, but include Despot, Sky Ferreira, Dave Longstreth of Dirty Projectors, Hamilton Leithauser of The Walkmen, Chromeo, Santigold, and Ezra Koenig’s longtime friend Andrei Padlowski. Balaclava Jesus puts Koenig, who plays Judas whispering in Christ’s ear, in confrontation with a stand-in for death who looks like himself.
Interestingly, there is no information about Primo Kahn, the director and star of the video, on the Internet. Is Kahn may be a new Koenig pseudonym like MCA’s Nathanial Hornblower?
