Renegades - X Ambassadors

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u-niluB8HI


The music video for Renegades by X Ambassadors represents people with physical disabilities as “pioneers, rebels and mutineers.”  The first time I listened to this song, there was no clear connection to those portrayed in the video. After viewing the video, it’s easy to see how the lyrics relate to to each person who overcame obstacles so they couldn’t be stopped from doing anything. In the most literal sense, a renegade is a person who betrays something or someone; a synonym would be a rebel. The people in this video have defied obstacles in order to make their mark, thus making them arguably rebellious.
