The Craziest Revelations From All American Rejects' Dirty Little Secret Video

Would you believe that it's been almost 20 years since All American Rejects gave us the wonder that is 'Dirty Little Secret'? That's right; the song hit the radio in 2005 and quickly became the lead single from the band's second album, 'Move Along,' but plenty of fans aren't ready to leave the song in the past just yet.

As well as giving us one of the biggest emo bops of a generation, 'Dirty Little Secret' gave us what's still arguably one of the most iconic music videos of our time. The twist? The craziest revelations from All American Rejects' 'Dirty Little Secret' video might be even wilder than you ever knew.

"I waste office supplies because I hate my boss" is a true stand against the man

This might be less of a dirty little secret and more of a flex against the rest of the confessions on set. After all, with free reign to write anything you please, why try and outdo the best when you can simply be the best instead? This guy knows this is his platform and a chance to tell the world he has absolutely no care for his boss - at all. All these years later and we have to wonder if he still thinks about his stolen loot or if he's left that job in the dust.

"I leave poetry in library books" leaves plenty a little conflicted

The more we think about it, the more we can't help but wonder if this is amazing or the worst of the worst. Let's start on the surface. Defacing public property and a book, no less? Shameful. Of course, this makes it the perfect dirty little secret, but what if that poetry is enough to change someone's life? Think about it, you're reading a book that it turns out you don't really enjoy, but you have to finish it, or you'll always be left wondering. Suddenly, you get to the middle and find some heart-wrenching poetry that makes you think you were destined to pick this novel above everything else. Stranger things have certainly happened.

"Sometimes I fake empathy to get people to like me" might be one of the darker secrets

Making friends is harder than it's meant to be. What happened to the days we could just walk up to someone and instantly feel a connection? Now, it's all about keeping up with trends, knowing what to say and when, being available whenever someone needs - aka, too much effort. Still, this confession came during a much simpler time in 2005. Now that we've had a couple of decades to consider this one, we can't help but wonder if we all fake feeling sorry for others every now and then. We didn't think a music video would see us having such an existential crisis.

"I'm in love with my best friend" might be one of the sadder revelations

On the surface, confessing your love for your best friend seems relatively tame compared to some of the other revelations that came from the All American Rejects' 'Dirty Little Secret' video. Sure, you are in love with them, and you're scared to say, blah, blah, blah. It's a story we've heard countless times before. The plot twist? When the camera pans out, and you see it: he's already wearing a wedding ring. Now, he either walked down the aisle with his best friend, or this guy has some serious explaining to do.

"Everything I told my psychologist was a complete and total lie" goes to show what some people do at therapy

The more we think about it, the more we think this guy might want to seriously reconsider what he's doing with his time and money. After all, therapy isn't cheap - and they're meant to be there to help us, right? At this point, we think telling your therapist nothing but lies might be doing nothing more than wasting everyone's time. If you spend the entire session lying, you're only hurting yourself in the long run.

The craziest revelations from All American Rejects' 'Dirty Little Secret' video have come a long way since they first hit our screens in 2005, and we can't help but wonder what's happened to all those people throughout the years. If one thing's for sure, they weren't worried about holding back with their confessions.
