His songs are funny and sarcastic. He's a committed artist who rejects freely any form of good taste and political correctness. In his songs he makes fun of poor people, catholicism, poodles and small children who make crappy toys and don't go to school. The great simplicity of orchestration and voice are 100% deliberate.
His style is close to Fatals Picards. This type of songs is a reaction to the French rock scene with its intellectualist lyrics, often dark and depressive.
Arrete de te la peter
Didier Super Lyrics

Arrête de te la peter
Parce que ton mec y roule en BM
Arrête de te la peter
Arrête de te la peter
Mon cousin y connait un mec, il en as une mieux!
Les meufs comme toi y'en a plein,
Si on te casse les dents t'es mauche
Arrête de te la peter
Arrête de te la peter
Parce que toi t'as eu ton bac
Arrête de te la peter
Arrête de te la peter
Le jour ou tu l'as passé, t'avais mis une jupe
Les meufs comme toi y'en a plein,
Si on te viol tu vas aux flics
Ouuuh ouuuuh
Arrête de te la peter
Arrête de te la peter
Parce que tu roules en 106
Arrête de te la peter
Arrête de te la peter
T'as fait voir tes seins à ton père pour qu'il te la paie
Les meufs comme toi ça joue les princesses,
Mais si je te casse les bras tu sais plus passer les vitesses
Ouuuuh ouuuuh
Arrête de te la peter
Arrête de te la peter
Parce que t'as été élue miss betteraves en 92
Arrête de te la peter
Arrête de te la peter
Ma soeur si j'en aurais une
Elle serait plus belle
Les meufs comme toi c'est bien connu,
Il faut vous faire marer pour vous défoncer le cul...te faire l'amour
The song Arrête de te la péter by French artist Didier Super is a satirical and ironic take on the tendency people have to show off and boast about their possessions, accomplishments, or social status. The recurring phrase 'Arrête de te la péter' translates to 'stop showing off', and it's repeated throughout the song as if the artist is tired of hearing people bragging all the time.
The first verse introduces the theme, with the warning to stop showing off just because your boyfriend drives a BMW, because there's always someone who has something better than you. The message is clear: your worth as a person doesn't depend on your partner's car, and trying to impress others with material possessions is shallow and meaningless.
The second verse makes fun of people who boast about their academic achievements, particularly those who act like they're superior because they passed their high-school diploma. Didier Super mocks the girl who wore a skirt to her exam and suggests that if she gets raped, she'll go to the police because she doesn't have anything else going for her. It's a shocking and explicit reference that highlights the hypocrisy of people who claim to have high moral standards but are actually quite superficial.
The third verse takes a jab at people who are proud of their modest cars or their family's rural background. Didier Super suggests that some girls will do anything to get a car, even if it means exposing themselves to their father. He also hints at violence by saying that if he breaks a girl's arms, she won't be able to change gears anymore. The overall tone is sarcastic and derisive, as if the artist is laughing at people who measure their self-worth based on their possessions or their heritage.
