About This Track
“I wrote this about the music industry. It’s not actually that political at all. It’s basically just saying that if the mainstream doesn’t communicate with the marginal people, they’ll turn around and create it themselves, ya know? That’s really what it was. I felt like the mainstream had stopped catering to me, and I was pissed off that they think that my mental age was twelve. You know how everything is geared up towards, like, brainwashing people and telling them that they’re dumber than they actually are, or thinking that people aren’t capable of digesting more what they are actually capable of digesting. And I really felt like I was hearing a lot of that with the music industry people sort of going, You can’t really talk about politics in music. You can?t talk about this in music. You have to keep your music real simple so people get it.And really, we were actually playing a part in dumbing people down, and I felt like I didn’t really want to be a part of that and I wanted to make a statement and be like, no! You can carry on doing that this is how you build the other.”
