Can’t lie sometimes 4cham puts out the beat content on the internet.
There’s just something about it
Can someone enlighten to as to the background of this song? https://youtu.be/nGy9uomagO4 Is it Japan exporting culture in the 80s? Weebs?
It’s about wanking, I believe. “Turning Japanese” is a euphemism for your O-face.
That makes sense. Don’t I feel silly
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.
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.

That doesn’t make much sense to me.
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.
