Music Video
The music video for "Zero" is directed by Barney Clay. It was filmed in the San Francisco neighborhoods of Tenderloin, North Beach, and Chinatown. It starts off with the band in a dressing room, getting ready for a show, at which point lead singer Karen O walks through a curtain that takes her to the streets of San Francisco. She is walking down a road and dancing, in typical glam fashion. She wears a PVC outfit throughout, whilst her bandmates remain as secondary characters throughout the video, seen briefly when Karen O joins them in an alleyway where they are playing the song. Towards the end of the video, the band play up and down the aisles of a local discount store.
The "Super Discount" store, featured in the music video, is actually at 199 Eddy Street, San Francisco, CA and is called the 'Cool Super Discount'.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“On the first days, like a piece of music that one will later be mad about, but that one does not yet distinguish, that which I was to love so much in [Bergotte’s] style was not yet clear to me. I could not put down the novel that I was reading, but I thought that I was only interested in the subject, as in the first moments of love when one goes every day to see a woman at some gathering, or some pastime, by the amusements to which one believes to be attracted.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
