Wait. It's a different kind of bop. It turns into a gore-ish spectacle that juxtaposes homeland terrorism and riots in the backdrop of outwardly happy people doing the latest dance moves with impeccable quality.

Curiously, none of the dancing people, who are all in uniform, are seemingly touched by all the violence. They dance and dance, either willfully ignoring the violence around them or perhaps prayerfully ignoring the violence surrounding them. Or distracting from it.

Either way, whether you call this dancing cooning or surviving, it's a strategy for dealing with death. Plus the subject matter is super timely given Kanye West's recent tweets (or performance art, if you believe the latest theory). The video, directed by Hiro Murai and produced by Doomsday with Ibra Ake and Fam Rothstein of Wolf + Rothstein, is best watched several times so that you can see what's happening in the background.

The video became a trending topic several times over as fans unpacked its secrets. Many parents would also argue it is not safe for children to watch, so be mindful as you view it.

Here are five more things worth noticing about this video.

1. All the guns are handled with care. Every time someone is shot, the gun is taken away carefully and cradled. Meanwhile, the person shot is either left there or dragged away on the ground, not picked up. Also, the guy who collects the guns is dressed in a polo shirt and ironed khaki pants. Quite respectable.
2. SZA makes a cameo. Near the end, as Gambino dances on old cars, SZA sits on a car in a lovely dress, hair half up and half down. In a post shared to Instagram, she wears flip-flops. It would appear another song is a'coming.
3. Old cars. 'This is America' gives careful attention to the types of cars used in the video. Nothing is new or modern. All of the makes and models are mid- to early-'90s, if not '80s, cars. This speaks to the whole idea that a fair number of Americans aren't driving new whips; many people are pushing boxy cars that still have tape decks. Luxury vehicles often seen in rap videos are noticeably absent from this one.
4. There are references to killing terrorists and terrorists killing us. Both the Charleston Church Massacre and a man who is shot in the back of the head, which is covered in a cloth bag, speak to the variety of gun deaths that occurs on American soil or as the result of American politics.
5. The dancing. Gambino references at least 10 ultra-popular dances, both old ones and new ones. One of those dances was the Gwara Gwara, which originated in South Africa. What's remarkable is that the dancers nailed each performance, and you could interpret that in one or two or three ways. One, they are clueless and dancing. Two, they have a clue and dance to keep from crying. Three, they are jamming for the camera or for social media video and know their dancing is a distraction, a salve or an invisibility cloak. Keep in mind the dancers were not shot, nor were they chased by the police. Given Glover's droll sense of realistic humor on FX's Atlanta, it would not surprise me if all three interpretations are correct, because often that is life in America.

Donald Glover also stars as a young Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story. He is known for his ability to pack nuance — if you choose to see it, that is — into his performance art and writing.

Fans didn’t get to see Donald Glover play a number of hits.

Childish Gambino's date at the American Airlines Center in Dallas reportedly ended early on Sunday night. Ticket holders at the concert complained of not getting to see the full set, with Donald Glover failing to perform singles 'Redbone' and '3005,' while others speculated that a foot injury was the reason behind the early exit.

Glover's 'This Is America' tour began earlier this month and has been dubbed as his 'last ever.' The FADER has reached out for comment regarding the Dallas date.

Childish Gambino apparently hurt his foot mid concert and dipped out. Everyone is so confused but I’ve been sitting in my seat for 20 minutes cause I think it’s all a trick to see who the true fans are. pic.twitter.com/8tinbvlYL6

I was at the Childish Gambino concert and it ended so weirdly. He just kinda left the stage and.. never came back. He’s such a performer and I hope he’s okay. Just felt empty. We didn’t get Redbone or 3005

So uh.. the end of that Childish Gambino concert in Dallas was awkward. We were all sitting around looking at each other confused, not sure if it was over or not.
I hope nothing bad happened.

So happy I got to see my favorite artist today! A little sad about him not finishing the show but I hope he’s okay. It was a GREAT experience and one I’ll remember forever #ThisIsAmericaTour#Dallas#ChildishGambino

I mean, it would have been nice if he at least said something to the thousands of people who paid a lot of money to see him perform one last time. #ChildishGambino
