Fuck The Industry

“Fuck The Industry” by $uicideBoy$ is a raw and unapologetic critique of the music industry and a declaration of the duo's defiance and resilience. The song opens with 7TH WARD CHARIZARD, who likens his return to life to Jesus, immediately setting a tone of resurrection and defiance. He positions himself as the 'black sheep' of the music industry, highlighting a sense of alienation and non-conformity. The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors, such as melting the ice that others claim is freezing, symbolizing his ability to break through barriers and challenge norms. The references to luxury cars and fashion items juxtaposed with feelings of being a 'teen recluse' underscore the superficiality of material success and the deeper, often darker, personal struggles beneath the surface.

LIL CUT THROAT's verse continues this theme of defiance and struggle. He speaks of seeing and hearing no evil, a nod to the famous proverb, but in a context that suggests a willful ignorance of societal norms and expectations. His lyrics are filled with references to violence and self-destruction, painting a picture of someone constantly on the edge, battling inner demons. The mention of a Glock on the dresser and the fear of blowing his brains out highlight the ever-present threat of self-harm, a recurring theme in $uicideBoy$'s music. Despite this, there is a sense of pride and resilience, as he declares that he is never lacking and always prepared to defend himself.

The song concludes with a spoken word segment by BONES, who eulogizes Ruby and $crim, the members of $uicideBoy$. This part serves as a poignant reminder of the impact they have had on their fans and the music world. It’s a moment of reflection and celebration of their lives and contributions, despite the dark themes that permeate their music. The overall message of the song is one of rebellion against the industry's expectations and a testament to the duo's resilience in the face of personal and professional challenges.
