Disabled people are not frequently represented in music videos, but when they are represented it is quite negatively. This is apparent in Heathens, by Twenty One Pilots, with the lyrics "you'll never know the freakshow sitting next to you", and "you'll have some wierd people sitting next to you". The words "wierd" and "freakshow"suggest the mentally and phsyically disabled
characters in the video are inhuman, isolating them from everyone else.
