What's the best "fuck you world" song of all time?

Hate@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 95 points –

My pick: Break Stuff by limp bizkit

70

Static X - Get to the Gone

Cradle of Filth - Gilded C**t

Ektomorf - Show Your Fist

Wednesday 13 - Mr Motherf****r

Dope - Die MF Die

Sorry, I couldn't decide.

I'm Still Standing - Elton John

Different flavor but it still fits

I'm going to take this in an incredible dark direction and say That's Just the Way That I Feel by Purple Mountains. This record is essentially a suicide note for artist David Berman, who killed himself shortly after it released.

It's more sad rather than angry at the world, but the poetic lyrics just tear me apart:

Course I've been humbled by the void
Much of my faith has been destroyed
I've been forced to watch my foes enjoy
Ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude
And as the pace of life keeps quickening
Beneath the *removed* and the bickering
When I try to drown my thoughts in gin
I find my worst ideas know how to swim

I've been forced to watch my foes enjoy
Ceaseless feasts of schadenfreude

And this is why you don’t indulge in sadism. The other side of the game sucks really bad.

I'm going to add a choice here:

In honor of the late, great Steve Albini, Kerosene, by his band Big Black. It's been covered by a few bands, but no one has managed the harsh, nihilistic electro-punk feel of the original.

Ihsahn - mass darkness

The crown - death explosion

High on fire - fury whip

Skeletonwitch - and into the flame

Goatwhore - FBS

Death - painkiller (all the respect to priest, but this version is better)

Exodus - war is my shepherd

Machine head - aesthetics of hate

Destroyer 666 - I am the wargod

The ocean - jurrasic/cretaceous

Black tongue - eclipse

Kglw - supercell/dragon/self-immolate

Hatebreed - destroy everything

Every black metal song (except nsbm, fuck you nazis)

If I may add a German one to the list:

Ingloria Victoria by Danger Dan

It's very clever written and targeted at a former highschool of the popular German rapper - which now boasts about him attending it for a few months but back then discriminated him from day one.

Personally I like Jack Johnson - Upside down for the "Fuck you" as in "Fuck you world, I'm not going to let you ruin my day. I'm going for a walk and to enjoy life."
