It seems like millions of geeks have their own representatives in music. A Chicago-based band called OK Go became world-famous in a matter of days thanks to their YouTube video This Too Shall Pass. In their work, the OK Go group focuses on the subculture of technical geeks. Original and talented.
Recently, geeks have become cultural trendsetters. The whole world is watching the TV series "The Big Bang Theory" with admiration, admiring its colorful characters from the world of technical specialists. And now, this Too Shall Pass by OK Go, which was posted online on March 1st, has gathered almost seven million viewers on YouTube in just one week.
The clip takes place in a technical laboratory. It very clearly and on a large scale shows the principle of the so-called "domino effect". Moreover, everything begins with dominoes.

As a result, it turns out very beautifully and on a large scale. Balloons and umbrellas are flying, iron balls are rolling, a working TV and a piano are falling, flags are flying … In general, there is no point in talking about this, you need to see it!
