2019 Guy
The Gentle Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need drugs to get high
I have Soylent and wine
I respect girls by getting friend zoned and denied
I think about them and cry
I am totally fine
Testosterone's low, feelings high
That's how you know I'm truly 2019 Guy
My dick's not big, my girlfriend fucked my friend
You say I'm down on my luck, I say it's a win-win
'Cause I'm a cuck
And I hope he fucks her good
In a way, I wish I could
I just want to WATCH!
Hello, hi, I'm a 2019 guy
I think science is a lie
I am offended online
I'm fragile and shy
I don't really go outside
I don't have friends that's why I am offended all the time

My dick's not big, my girlfriend fucked my friend
You say I'm down on my luck, I say it's a win-win
'Cause I'm a cuck
And I hope he fucks her good
In a way, I wish I could
His dick's not big, so I fucked his friend
I say he's down on his luck, he says it's a win-win
'Cause I'm a cuck
And I hope he fucks her good
In a way, I wish I could
I just want to WATCH!

The lyrics to The Gentle Men's song "2019 Guy" are a satirical take on the characteristics and behaviors of a modern, self-proclaimed "woke" man. In the first verse, the singer boasts about not using drugs to get high, but instead consuming Soylent and wine. He claims to respect women by accepting being "friend zoned and denied" and cries about it, but insists he is "totally fine." The chorus repeats the title phrase, highlighting the singer's preoccupation with being a modern, up-to-date man.
The second verse describes the singer's low testosterone levels and sensitivity, which he sees as indicative of his 2019-ness. He also declares his disbelief in science and tendency to get offended online, reflecting the common stereotype of the "Social Justice Warrior" archetype. The repeated assertion of "2019" underscores the singer's obsession with being associated with a particular year, likely emblematic of the broader societal trend of associating social and political movements (such as #MeToo and Black Lives Matter) with particular moments in time.
The third verse reveals that the singer's girlfriend has had sex with his friend, but he frames it as a positive thing since he identifies as a "cuck" and enjoys the idea of watching her with other men. In the final repetition of the chorus, the roles are reversed and the girlfriend becomes the singer, who expresses a similar desire to watch her partner have sex with others.
Overall, "2019 Guy" is a scathing critique of the performative activism and pseudo-enlightenment that characterizes some segments of contemporary society.
