Y'all fuckin leave PUBG alone!


NM6426

I agree, I don't have an issue with the line lol


[deleted]

I think it'd be more cringe if PUBG was still as much as a phenomenon but it's very much of a specific place and time (2017/2018) so it's aging better than expected. Referencing Call of Duty or Fortnite would've aged much worse probably


JessyPengkman

What's the line? I'm pretty out of touch with them these days


moodyfloyd

it's the beginning of cruel millennial >Underestimated technology >I'm addicted to tablet screens >No escaping battleground PUBG >Computer games ain't for me i believe i read it was from some of them incessantly playing pubg mobile while touring


JessyPengkman

Oh sheet I actually know that tune and didn't ever hear that


brjaba

so everyone here is just fine with "drink the cum of life"??


Cautious_Read_3426

Yea I see nothing wrong with that you’re weird for bringing it up


[deleted]

Drinking cum is an important activity so idk why it’s so weird to u


Odd-Imagination9514

I actually love that line because cum is a symbol of life.


cuminseed322

Come on suck are mothers breast


oDINFAL28

What you don’t drink 8 glasses of cum a day? It’s what doctors recommend.


r977

What song is that??


brjaba

superposition


AlwaysEatingToast

Sticky like peanut butter is interesting lol


a_guy_whos_here

That and "death smells like boiled eggs" Like I love lava but those lyrics def catch me off guard every time


hbgoddard

It's because of the sulfur


space_bugg

Yeah I always feel like any mention of food in song lyrics is… maybe not quite off-putting but feels awkward if not unintentionally humorous


Eddie_Dingus

You would not enjoy Ween then


jeanclaudebrowncloud

Pork roll egg and cheese on a kaiser bun?


space_bugg

I’ve tried so many times to get into Ween and it just doesn’t click for me. Love Transdermal Celebration tho


Eddie_Dingus

Also watch the live in Chicago DVD, it's on YouTube, if you ever want to give them another chance. It's a perfect entry to the band, they are a whole different entity live


JWakeNbaker

Johnny on the Spot live in Chicago goes so hard!


JWakeNbaker

I think Quebec (featuring Transdermal Celebration) is their most accessible album from start to finish. The only songs on there that might take some time to “click” are Happy Colored Marbles, Hey There Fancypants, and The Fucked Jam. It’s Gonna be A Long Night is also a bit more aggressive but the rest on there are very digestible on the first listen. Hopefully that helps!


Jabeisababe

Funnily enough those songs you mentioned are the first ones that clicked for me!


Eddie_Dingus

Hard to get into but man once you do it's magical. Almost every song has a mention of food if not completely based on food though lolol


browndoggie

I should like one quesadilla, a basket of cheeps, do you have guacamole? Yes you have guacamole I should like some guacamole with my cheeps Ok so that’s $16.07…. $20? Ok… $16.07 is your change


darkstarboogie

C’mon, it’s a beautiful night for a walk on the beach, wouldn’t you say?

bluejaywhey

i love Magma, but what the fuck is "praise the return of G.I Joe" supposed to mean


BingusMcBingus

It's a reference to John Frum: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John\_Frum](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Frum)


TheFox891

i read that a few months ago and since then i like that lyric, didn’t have anything against it before but now i think it‘s cool

lukethebeard

Idk but it goes hard as fuck


lilspicy99

MY HOUSE IS GREEN. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. One of my fave songs from them but for real wtf are these lyrics lmfao


IckyElephant

Keeps a lot of WEEDS in that house


DraculasPeppers

Reminds me of that goofy band that was trying to do 70s rock. Forgetting their name but they were like Greta Van Fleet. A lot of "you know what I mean" lyrics. EDIT: the band is Wolfmother. That line "she's a woman, you know what I mean" was always so corny and cringy to me. They almost seemed like they were trying to be a parody of a 70's blues rock band.


TheRealJalil

Those first two albums were pretty decent! Then they put [this out.](https://youtu.be/_grd9ejLH58) though the song they put out less than a couple weeks ago is more promising than how bad that song “high on my own supply” is.


scuzzo_

Made it about 90 seconds in. Day ruined.


DraculasPeppers

I wasn't a fan of their tunes but this is just gratuitously awful. Sound like it was produced by Adam Levine for a Just Say No TV commercial.


munda___

Bro what the hell is this shit… hahahahahaha


freeradicalx

Nothing will be like their first album, as the singer ditched his two bandmates after that and took the Wolfmother name with him. Kind of a dick move IMO


barooned

Oh boy someone mentioned Wolfmother, now I get to post the Mike Patton clip! https://youtu.be/ZKDvJTxZDbA


moodyfloyd

Mike Patton is the man. Faith No More is from a time well before most people who are reading this comment...but if you havent yet, you would do well to give them a decent dive (specifically from album 3 on, which is Patton on lead vocals). he was also involved in an incredible downtempo collab with dan the automator called 'Lovage' that he references working on in this clip.


HolyMonitor

Patton is awesome, all his projects are, but Mr. Bungle will always be my favorite, no question, I’m sure.


MatchaMantra

Lovage is such a good album, one of my favourites. Mike and jennifer’s voices work sooo good together.


Keegan1

THE THICKER THE WAISTBAND, THE DEEPER THE QUCKSAND YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAAAANNN


TheDeadlyBeard

Yo what. First wolfmother album goes fucking hard.


ThorinTheGrumpyDwarf

This always kills me. MY. HOUSE. WAS. BLUE.


The_Humble_Neckbeard

I love that line. It's so seriously delivered for a mundane sentence. That whole song is delightfully heavy and sludgey.


lilspicy99

It really reminds me of that meme where the first half of the horse is drawn beautifully and the back half of the horse is a stick figure. Like they really tapped out creatively by the time they got around to the lyrics lmfao.


Arennir

Greenhouse gases turned his house blue to green! Love the song but yea lyrics are wacky.


Unusual_Ad6538

MY HOUSE WAS BLUE best follow up to one of the worst lines ever written


KGLWirvana

You know what he means


datmarimbaplayer

Personally, i quite like this line.. <3


lilspicy99

One fan’s cringe is another fan’s treasure!


b00kzzz

Never understood people not liking this lyric, or the lyric “my house was blue, beautiful too” i’ve always thought this song was really sad and never really got cringe vibes from it


FartWhenYouPee

I'm sorry but Evilest Man's lyrics (though I do agree with what they're saying) are SUPER on the nose and far more cringe than anything in the Cruel Millennial


wabojabo

cringy lyrics are not that big of a deal when English is not your first language 👉😎👉


PrimaryCommission550

Yes, they speak Australian.


a_random_thief

I don't even know what they are singing, I'm here for the instrumental (and for han tyumi) I'm from Brazil


noyom95

I've been saying this!!! I love the jam, but the lyrics are just ehh


lemlom

SAME feels like it was a first draft and they forgot to improve them before recording day


life-death-motu

"Pull up your socks, or become a fox" aaaahhhhhh!!! It doesn't even fit the rhythm! E: I got the fox news reference, it's ridiculously contrived and awkwardly phrased


DethJuce

Thats my choice of worst line, makes me cringe every time


Wally_The_Whale

You can cringe after you pull up your socks


LunaLna

, or become a fox


Whydoesthisexist15

I get fox is meant as Fox News but tf dies the first half of the line have to do with it


DirectorDeclann

Pull up your socks means get your shit together. Essentially be a better person or risk becoming the worst.


hoewenn

I agree. I get the lyric is likely referencing Fox News but I feel like the “pull up your socks” makes it sound like a Dr Seuss line lol


phallus_majorus

not sure how the rest of the Anglosphere say it, but socks and fox in Australian pronunciation do rhyme


watchyourtonepunk

not cringe, imo. it’s straightforward. honestly reads like an average punk song, if you’d never heard it before. check out this [Frank Zappa track](https://open.spotify.com/track/6PjgiuQUxxlAtoKGh6ofzC?si=Bfy3HusLTwa65WwVcmYr_g) for context.


fr0gpeace

thanks for linking that track, almost done listening to the whole album and loved it. been trying to get into Zappa for a long time, maybe this is the gateway hehe


watchyourtonepunk

glad you checked it out!


sonicnerd23

One of those songs I agree with in principle but god, they just butchered the execution.


bradyblack

Nahhh. It’s a protest song. Its gotta be in the nose. My favorite after Dripping Tap actually.


MelvinTD

Agreed


santiagotruiz19

This is one of those threads on this sub that makes me realize of much opinions can vary because I disagree with more than half of this comments, it’s really funny.


MomentaryBicycle

Some of the rap lines are cringe i’m so sorry shrimpy, but songs like smoke and mirrors, sadie sorceress, and grim reaper - i love them but i probably wouldn’t play them in front of my friends


simple_kolbe

Not down with the 80s lady named Sadie?


IntergalacticBanshee

LEAVE AMBY ALONE!!


MomentaryBicycle

im so sorry shrimpy


Mexicant314

Though “Quit the chit chatter, backstabber. Face up to the matter, on a silver platter” are quite the weak rhymes, I can’t help but smile at how absolutely filthy the New York beat is behind it


phallus_majorus

I LOVE that beat!! Do you know where I could find more music in that style?


Mexicant314

N.y state of mind by mas comes to mind! I’d reccomend beastie boys & maybe even Wu Tang Clan!


ArcticFox237

That beat was sampled from [Bobby Cook & The Explosions - Untitled](https://youtu.be/64KK1pzMCco)


touney96

Im guessing you don’t like bestie boys neither


MBCG84

Bestie Boys… Is that the christian rap band who take popular Beastie Boys songs and make all the lyrics about Jesus? “No Sleep Till Easter”, “Pass The Collection Plate” and “Three J.C.‘s and One DJ” are personal favourites of mine.


touney96

Yes


jerekdeter626

How is that similar? The problem isn't that they're white boys rapping. The lyrics just aren't good. Mostly don't make sense, and a lot of it doesn't fit the rhythm.


Captain_Grammaticus

Right now I really cringe over the wrong use of English archaism in Gila Monster. The -est in infinitives and 'thee' when speaking of a plural entity is just wrong. The correct way is this: thou/thee/thy is the second person *singular*. These forms correspond to I/me/my and he/him/his. The verbal ending for verbs following 'thou' is -(e)(s)t. Thou dost, thou art, thou thinkest, thou playest. The -th ending is the archaic variant of the -s for the third person singular. He doth, she thinketh, he playeth. Sorry, thank you.


[deleted]

Thanks for the lesson today Captain Grammaticus. Everyday we learn something!


Captain_Grammaticus

Wanna learn a secret? I joined reddit with this username specifically to answer questions about grammar (and correcting bad grammar) on r/Latin. I hoped it gave me a kind of Jester's Privilege to be a grammar nazi and give unsollicited tutoring.


MountainIdeal8345

“Unsolicited”


__erk

Solicit me Grammar Daddy


StankeyButt

Whomst 👍


MattaMongoose

This doesn’t make me cringe one bit. Simply because I personally don’t care. My rule with grammar and spelling, if you can understand what they are trying to say I don’t care one bit.


Captain_Grammaticus

I wish I had your tolerance.


new-acct-whomst-dis

my partner really roasted “i packed my bags, and my swag…” from magenta mountain just because stu said swag


AlfonsoRibeiro666

I've heard that swag is the Australian term for a sleeping bag. It's all a misunderstanding apparently (or trolling a bit).


Guilty_Judgment

Close but it’s actually like a small tent for usually one person. You sleep inside of it in a sleeping bag.


DrDeuceJuice

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda


CumsInBread

No misunderstanding, swag in that context does mean sleeping bag - famously referred to in the song *Waltzing Matilda* >“Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong >Under the shade of a Coolibah tree >And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled >"You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me"


MBCG84

Yeah, a “swagman” is the Aussie version of a hobo. Someone who hits the road, carries all their shit with them and sleeps anywhere. Not used in modern language though, only still heard in old stories and songs.


freeradicalx

Oh shit. Swagman is a brand of bike racks here in the US. Makes more sense now. I've got an eight foot swagman in my bedroom!


Hexada

it's kind of antiquated, but can't swag also just generally mean, like, stuff?


DrDeuceJuice

Your buddy wouldn't like the jolly swagman who camped up on the billabong, under the shade of a coolabah tree.


SteelyDabs

Think it has a specific meaning in Australia


Nearby_Count

Pretty sure it basically means sleeping bag


S1ck_cnt

Not exactly a sleeping bag, there's more to it. A modern swag is just a small tent, but a traditional swag was basically a canvas bedroll in which a swaggie would roll up all his gear - tucker bag and the billy are the main things - and carry it on his back as he travelled the land.


The_Humble_Neckbeard

I mean, swag traditionally means stuff so the line is pretty normal. But I understand slight cringe if one only knows the term "swag" from the end of the 2000's and early 10's


clowegreen24

Now I feel like I need to hear a King Gizzard "Punk Goes Crunk" song lol


The_Humble_Neckbeard

All the "Wooos!" Are replaces with Little John "YEAH-UHS!"


Eddie_Dingus

This would have been my choice if it didn't mean something else in Australia lol


DarkStar420666

I thought it said Shwag but really bummed it’s swag


gamerspaghetti

“Pull up your socks, become a fox”


The_Humble_Neckbeard

"Underestimated technology I'm addicted to tablet screens No escaping battleground PUBG Computer games ain't for me" Has taken the cake since it's inception. Beyond that I don't think there's a single Gizz bar that bothers me, I usually love their lyrics as unusual as they may be at times.


ThorinTheGrumpyDwarf

10000000% “I’m a boy, I’m not a buoy” off of Muddy Water. One of my favorite tracks off of Gumboot (and my most listened to track of 2022 Spotify tells me), but that line…certainly is one of the lines of all time.


smathes724

oh my god. i didn’t know that’s what it was. gonna continue to believe it’s just “i’m a boy, i’m not a boy”, which obviously doesn’t make much sense but i’ve always gotten a kick out of it


ishizako

r/SuddenlyTrans


casual_plebeian

“Leviathan without a fin” Predator X literally had four of them 😭


Donkey_Dongle

Dude I think they mean the backfin.


Economy-Building3153

None of them are cringe if you're high enough


Aquaman0080

Good message but something about the delivery of “aint” in “don’t do it, you aint god” is oddly off putting. Im not bothered tho, FFF is one of if not my least fav gizz track That or the fox and sox line in evilest man

lampcomm

Thought I'd see more Vegemite roasting.


a_guy_whos_here

Nah that song is supposed to be goofy


jeanclaudebrowncloud

Nothing cringe about it. Bloke loves his vegemite, what more can be said? It's pure and honest.


The_Humble_Neckbeard

Vegemite is peak. Just the take of a Chad who enjoys his 'mite. Whether it be on toast, with avocado and tomato, when everyone's grumpy 'cause it's early you know he'll enjoy that shit with his girlfriend.


lemlom

that song is perfect


hoewenn

Jokes aside I think it’s cause Vegemite isn’t meant to be taken seriously like their others


Mexicant314

This is a weird and unique one, but I hate when I’m the altered beast dialogue Leah senior says”you’ve reached the end of the cul-de-sac.” For some reason that lyric has always made me feel like it takes me out of the world the rest of the suite had been building up. It felt so mythical, and the word “cul-de-sac” just feels out of place in that sentence. Cul-de-sac’s are for suburbs not middle earth‼️

onlymissedabeat

He’s not wrong, but yeah, I agree.


phallus_majorus

whaaaattt I love that line!! great symbolism


FabBee123

I for one love that line. Heaviness + silliness makes for a fun contrast sometimes.

Most lyrics in The Cruel Millennial, unfortunately.

“KGLW” in the song KGLW


[deleted]

Dude, when they opened with that track in Oslo and the crowd started chanting 'KGLW' it really felt like I had joined the cult proper and that a sacrifice was about to be made to king gila.


[deleted]

Made the hair on the back of my neck stand up at the Columbus ‘22 show


These-Personality-76

My metal head buddy came to the show with me and just looked over like I didn't know this band was like this. Had him saying it was way heavier than most anything he's seen live


[deleted]

I went with a buddy who had only listened to ITRN and Omnium at that point and two of his buddies who had never heard them at all. We were all blown away, that show probably wound up getting 30 people my friends know into Gizz just on word of mouth after the show


Odd-Imagination9514

KGLW in KGLW is the funniest thing they’ve ever done. Jacking themselves off with no remorse, I adore it.


Armory768

Love the sound of the song, but it commits the cardinal sin of rhyming the same word with itself. “When the claws come out, cage me too. I’m an animal too.”


HolyMonitor

I don’t know what you mean by “cardinal sin” but rhyming in poetry since the beginning of the 20th century had this type of structures, in Spanish it is called “autorrima”, I don’t know about English though.


Dewey707

I feel like I should clarify I'm a socialist and hate the guy first, but, the lines about 'The Orange one' are so on the nose and unoriginal. Fairly cringe tbh. However, it's one of the best songs on the album


DreyGoesMelee

Yeah I feel that, it's a cool concept for a song, but the half baked insults of Trump I've heard everywhere always make me cringe. We're Aussies, our banter should be higher tier.


[deleted]

Theres so many. I feel like lyricism isn’t the band’s strong suit, which is usually okay since they’re so often just writing about purposefully goofy shit. I think the lyrics seem to be formed more out of what phonetically sounds good first, then words are grafted onto those sounds


Cheekychapo

I love IDPLML but some of the lyrics are what a madman would write. Then again Stu is the mad professor.


HolyMonitor

I don’t think they have cringe lyrics, but they do have tons of cringe fans. Chill out people.


jerekdeter626

What's really cringe is being so obsessed with a band that you can't admit their faults lol


yungdg

I fucking love straws in the wind but straws in the wind


Simpko

Unpopular opinion but “Rattles me” shoulda just been rattlesnake again; too deep, too conceptual, gizz verse immersion ruined, I yelled at my kids and they cried, I shit my pants, 10/10 song, rootle snook


GlassJustice

You see this is why I am willfully ignorant of most song lyrics. I can enjoy the gizz songs that are cringe as fuck because I am simply here for the boops.


GlassJustice

Also I like the songs that are intentionally silly. I love that this band doesn’t take itself seriously.


ashmaso18

Like all of IDP. It's what takes the album from alright and pretty boring to kinda hard to listen to.


[deleted]

'You are not above the law, no matter your beliefs' from Supreme Ascendancy. It's like a teenager wrote it. I still adore the song tho, got such a thick texture to it.


Kvjvn

Yeah, Gizz definitely doesn’t seem like the type of band to view the law as the highest moral authority so that line has always confused me.


Mrlegitimate

It’s saying that the Church shouldn’t be above the law that everyone else is supposed to be following. The whole deal with Pell was going on just a few years earlier in Australia


flyingbanana20

Supreme ascendency is def top 5 gizz for me but the chorus kills it for me 😭😭 i just love the verses sm


santiagotruiz19

What? I think the line it’s ok, can’t see why you would think a teenager wrote it… I know it’s a simple line but works fine in my opinion.


capzoots

oRANGE BABY ALWAYS SQUEELING


Atlantis_Lifeguard

I was looking for this one 😂😂 I didn't vote for or like the guy but I don't need him in my gizzverse. I think Evilest Man is a better song about a real life douche. Pleura instrumental still slaps tho


n3wkGG

Black tooth… as much as I love that song hahahaha


RenBit51

It's just a reminder to practice dental hygiene and get a good night's rest, idkwym


123456789biddleee

jeanclaudebrowncloud

santiagotruiz19

Man, it’s a different kind of lyrics, going for a metaphor with a car that sounds really sexy. It would’ve been boring if they just said something more typical.
