Popping culture: Icona Pop goes to the ball

If you haven’t heard Icona Pop’s “I Love It,” you’re probably living under a rock (and to be honest, I would be as well to avoid hearing it as often as I have). But the duo have smartened up, at least in terms of their videos.

Their latest single, “All Night,” is similar in sound to their previous release, but this time the video pays homage to all that is ball culture. The video features appearances by some of the legendary children, both classic and new. One of the first people you see and hear in the video is Father Luis Xtravaganza, as well as Leyomi Mizrahi and Javier Ninja.
