Agathocles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For big bucks behaving like a fool
Generation X won't change no shit
It's only waiting for the next big hit
Satanic notes for evil blokes
Black ritual crap another joke
Kill the rest coz we're the best
Media creates and you consume
You're being part of a commercial boom
And if you're so alternative
Then do it yourself and be active
The lyrics to Agathocles's "Media Creations" are a commentary on the superficiality and commercialization of popular music culture, particularly in the 90s generation. The opening lines "Yeah grunge tunes are oh so cool, For big bucks behaving like a fool" refers to the commercial success of the grunge music genre, which was popularized by bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. The singer suggests that despite the edgy and countercultural reputation of grunge, the genre has become a money-making machine that has lost its authenticity and rebelliousness.
The lines "Generation X won't change no shit, It's only waiting for the next big hit" criticize the apathy and complacency of the younger generation. The singer suggests that despite their supposed opposition to mainstream culture, Generation X is easily swayed by media trends and is not interested in making any significant changes. The reference to Satanic notes and black ritual crap alludes to the controversial lyrics and imagery used in some metal and alternative music, which often portray violence and anti-establishment themes.
