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.

Putain De Chinois

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Je veux être une star, 3ème!

Oooh mais merde!
Mais c'est quoi ce CD qui saute, là?!
Encore un truc qui a été fait en Chine!

Putain d'chinois! Putain d'chinois!
Y travaillent pas cher et y s'appliquent pas!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Didier Super's song "Putain De Chinois" express frustration and anger towards the Chinese manufacturing industry. Didier Super declares that he wants to be a third-rate star, but his frustration is interrupted by a skipping CD, which he blames on a product manufactured in China. He uses the offending CD as an example of work that is done cheaply and without attention to detail. The repeated refrain, "Putain d'chinois," is a derogatory term for Chinese people and translates to "fucking Chinese."

The song is a commentary on the cheap labor practices of many Chinese manufacturers, who often sacrifice quality for low cost. Didier Super's lyrics reflect a wider cultural phenomenon of blaming China for the perceived decline in Western manufacturing industries. However, the language he uses is highly offensive and perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Chinese people.
