The document proposes a music video idea for the song "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons that tells a story about bullying from the point of view of someone who is being bullied and how they manage to change their situation. The summary includes a montage at the beginning showing the main character's past including alcohol, parties, crying, and physical abuse. As the song progresses, it depicts the character being bullied at school but deciding to change and get rid of their past by throwing out old clothes and standing up for themselves, gaining a new friend.
