"'Cool Job' pulls from meme culture pastiche and 'Temporary Secretary' trope to skewer the fantasy that the right job will save your life. Written mid-burnout, it's an anti-work anthem about corporate rot, identity collapse, and trying to care about meetings that could have been emails while everything else is falling apart."
"The video supports and contrasts the song by documenting the (extremely profitable!!!!) surreal act of touring and creating (/attempting) joy as the world unravels - stitched from internet-found clips and camcorder footage from our 2025 south(east) tour, filtered through modern brain-rot, simulation/simulacra VHS corporate aesthetics."
Telehealth is a Seattle-based synthy punk band inspired by groups like Devo, blending synthesizers with punk aesthetics and internet culture. Led by married couple Alexander Attitude and Kendra Cox, the band released their debut album in 2023 and a 7" through Sub Pop's Singles Club that same year. They have now entered an official creative partnership with Sub Pop for their second album, Green World Image, releasing May 15. The lead single 'Cool Job' critiques corporate culture and burnout, using meme culture and anti-work themes. The accompanying video combines internet clips and camcorder footage from their 2025 tour, filtered through VHS corporate aesthetics. The band is touring spring 2025 across multiple cities.
