top 5 90s 'alt rock' music videos involving house party / pool party / preferably with artist playing somewhere like the living room or a in the garden / general lifestyle thing

5. okay this just sneaks into top 5. is technically in a house but not really a party...but it's weezer so...???

4. not my fave sy track but the video starts with a couple making out on the grass outside a house party. inside a man dances with a beanie and a sleeveless shirt. spliced with b&w footage to show additional narrative. some great hair. pensive looks.

3. promise ring play the subversive card with this interesting take on the house party concept. fridges, pool diving, bmx'ing, heavy on the 'band in car' traveling round suburbia, american football match at the end, lots of general slo-mo camera work. also heavy on 90s flintstone - lots of corduroy, heavy flannel etc

2. breaking the rules at number 2 is risky but i couldn't have it any lower... they switch the house for the barbers and i think it works. lose marks for lack of actual band playing but gain marks for overall ingenuity. also maybe my fave 90s vid ever

1. tyre rolling, band in car looking very disinterested, plays at house party, wall jumping, pool diving, late night shopping havoc, cops eating donuts, generally good 90s flintstone... got it all i guess
