    It reminds me of the "Tenryuubito" from One Piece, elites who put their heads in bubbles to breathe only their own air because they are too good to breath the same air as the common folk, but its kind of the inverse. They'd like the common folk to wear the "bubble" which will inevitably convey implicit connotations of inferiority. "Nobody wants to see your face". https://media.giphy.com/media/aSeNfB1aAO7rG/giphy.gif https://media.giphy.com/media/aSeNfB1aAO7rG/giphy.gif

  I had the exact same thought! More was also re-licensed as the music video for the song "Hell bent" by Kenna, to (in my opinion) greater emotional effect: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5mmgow https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5mmgow It was played a fair bit on MTV2 late at night in the early aughts. It's entirely possible this Super Bowl commercial was made by someone who saw that video 20 years ago. A deeply depressing dystopian vision.

    I couldn't handle the meta commentary of trying to watch that video. Microsoft azure adds periodically covered half the screen. When the music video hit 2.5/ 5 min it paused to give me give an actual drug video commercial, and I closed the window.
