Ruder

The song 'Ruder' by the GazettE is a powerful anthem of defiance and rebellion against societal norms and expectations. The lyrics are filled with a raw, unapologetic energy that challenges the listener to question the status quo. The opening lines mock the superficiality of idol culture, with the phrase 'Dengu jugi no aidoru ga otakaku tomatte waratta' suggesting a disdain for the manufactured nature of pop idols. The repeated 'chuchuchuruchuchuchu ranran' serves as a satirical chant, highlighting the absurdity of blindly following trends and societal expectations.

The chorus, 'I am ruder! I am ruder!' is a bold declaration of self-identity and nonconformity. The GazettE embraces their role as outsiders, rejecting societal rules and norms with lines like 'baka de warui ka? ruuru nante nee' (Is it bad to be stupid? There are no rules). This defiance is further emphasized with the phrase 'itan saikou fuckoff kizensha' (heresy is the best, fuck off, hypocrites), which underscores their rejection of hypocrisy and false morality.

The song also touches on themes of survival and resilience, with the line 'Jakunikukyoushoku de ikuze' (Let's go with the survival of the fittest). This suggests a Darwinian view of society, where only the strong and defiant can thrive. The GazettE's aggressive and rebellious tone is a call to arms for those who feel marginalized or oppressed by societal expectations. 'Ruder' is not just a song; it's a manifesto for those who refuse to conform and choose to live life on their own terms.
