Have we reached the age of peak Harry Styles? I would have thought so since recent gossip about him being the proud recipient of a very in-demand salad dressing from his girlfriend—actor and director Olivia Wilde—reached such a fever pitch I would have thought it impossible for the 28-year-old musician to generate any more discourse. That, however, was before Styles dropped the brand-new music video for his song “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” on Thursday, and, predictably, the undersea ballad has Styles trending yet again.

In the video, Styles appears as a full-on merman in a crown and tail, attempting to avoid his sad fate (being turned into sushi) by singing his way out and getting a bevy of restaurant workers to help him reach his full, glistening, Ariel-inspired potential. I’ve never really been a Styles stan—please don’t dox me, Harry girlies, I’m perfectly fine with his music, I just don’t go out of my way to listen to it—but seeing him in ocean mode with a giant, bushy beard is weirdly kind of working for me? I’m not the only one, either: Below, find the very best social reactions to Styles’s “Music for a Sushi Restaurant” video.
