Virus X 1983 - I Paid Twice (Currently (UN)Official Cut-Out Punk Music Video) (SkniTuneS Video)

Virus X 1983 - I Paid Twice (Cut-Out Punk Music Video) (SkniTuneS Video) A DIY punk retail nightmare from Virus X 1983 — “I Paid Twice” turns a stupid convenience-store double charge into a full-blown anti-consumerist paper-cutout meltdown, complete with crude cutout animation, punk zine visuals, live-band chaos, receipts, registers, and corporate retail absurdity. About the Song: “I Paid Twice” is a raw, driving Virus X 1983 track built around the absurd frustration of buying something you did not want, did not need, and then getting charged for it twice. The song takes a mundane retail screw-up and pushes it into punk-rock existential comedy: repetition, checkout-line boredom, corporate apathy, and the tiny daily humiliations of consumer life. The track features live drums, live bass, electric guitars, and Rick Miami’s signature use of the E-Bow, creating a haunting sustained guitar texture beneath the band’s rough underground energy. About the Band / Artist: Virus X 1983 emerged from the Buffalo / Niagara Falls underground punk and alternative scene, blending post-punk attitude, garage-band urgency, sarcastic lyrics, and raw DIY performance energy. The classic Virus X 1983 identity centers on Rick Miami, Jarid Sinn, Smash Thrash, and Lee Lazer, with a visual world shaped heavily by Rick Miami’s original hand-drawn artwork, punk flyers, homemade graphics, and the band’s rough archival mythology.
