Lyrics analysis with age appropriateness assessment
Minimum age: Age 13+
These lyrics contain no explicit language, sexual content, drug references, or graphic violence. The content is primarily a socio-political critique targeting consumerism, corporate co-optation of counter-culture movements, gentrification, financial oppression, and the commodification of rebellion. The reference to 'Satan's trending up' is used metaphorically in a cultural/commercial context rather than in a genuinely disturbing or occult manner. The core message — that corporations exploit activist aesthetics for profit and that social media/advertising undermine genuine organizing — is intellectually sophisticated and requires a degree of media literacy and political awareness to fully appreciate. While the content is not harmful, its abstract, irony-laden commentary on capitalism and systemic financial oppression is conceptually dense and better suited to teenagers with some grounding in social studies, economics, or current events. Parental guidance is suggested not due to harmful content, but due to the complexity of the themes and the potential for nuanced discussion.
It feels completely ridiculous that I'm a willing participant, Gazing at the purple and pinks in the shadow of a bank-sponsored skyline "Unite against the establishment!™ (While drones transmit the images to a server farm in the Valley for a culture that will eat its own insides)" Oh, they wouldn't be your friend if you weren't worth something They wouldn't be your friend if it wasn't worth it If you didn't have something they could take Take a long look at the billboards that smother the air 'til You can't ignore 'em and glamorize department store crust-punk-chic 'Cause Satan's trending up and it's Fashion Week But this is not a movement, it's just careful Entertainment for an easy demographic in our sweatshop Denim jackets and we'll wonder, "What just happened?!" When the world becomes Manhattan where the banks Steal the apartments just to render them abandoned We're not stupid people but this financial oppression has Got everyone believing all that we can do is nothing 'Cause we organize through avenues they lace with Advertisements so the ones we try to rage against are still Lining their pockets Oh, they wouldn't be your friend if you Weren't worth something
