      It’s about wanking, I believe. “Turning Japanese” is a euphemism for your O-face.

          According to songwriter David Fenton, “Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn’t expect.” Fenton intended the song to be a love song, with the character of the song “pining over a photograph of his ex-girlfriend” in his bedroom, drawing from Fenton’s own experience of being rejected.

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turning_Japanese#:~:text=According to songwriter David Fenton,not "really mean much".

          The previous commenter was clearly channeling Tipper Gore. No reason for you to feel silly.

        I would hope that might persuade you to stop being a modern version of Tipper Gore.

          It doesn’t really have to? Whatever caused the inspiration for anything artistic can be extremely mundane. Absurdism isn’t exactly a new concept, especially to artists. Much like dark humor, not everyone will get the artist’s message, or their inspiration.
