Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whatever

I went down to the beach and saw Kiki, she was all like 'ewhhhh' and I'm like whatever!
Then this chick comes up to me and she's all like 'Hey, aren't you that dude' and I'm like yeah, whatever!
So later, I'm, I'm at the pool hall and this girl comes up and she's all like 'uhh' and I'm like yeah, whatever!
Cause this is my United States of Whatever
And this is my United States of Whatever
And this is my United States of Whatever
And then it's three a.m. I'm on the corner wearing my leather and this dude comes up to me and says 'Hey punk' I'm like, yeah, whatever!
Then, I'm throwing dice in the alley and officer Leroy comes up and he's like ' hey I thought I told you...' and I'm like, yeah, whatever!
Then, up comes Zaphron and I'm like 'Yo, Zaphron, what's up?' and he's like 'nothin' and I'm like 'that's cool'
Cause this is my United States of Whatever




And this is my United States of Whatever
And this is my United States of Whatever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Liam Lynch's song United States of Whatever are a satirical take on the spirit of nonchalance and apathy that characterized the early 2000s, particularly among the youth. The singer describes various situations in which he is approached by different people, but he responds to all of them with indifference and an attitude of "whatever." This suggests a lack of concern or interest in anything beyond oneself and a refusal to engage with others or the world at large.


The repetition of the phrase "this is my United States of Whatever" reinforces the idea that the singer is comfortable in his apathy and that he sees it as a hallmark of an individualistic, self-reliant spirit. This can be seen as a critique of the consumerist and individualistic mindset that was pervasive in American culture at the time. The singer's nonchalance is also a reflection of the political and social climate of the early 2000s, which was marked by disillusionment and cynicism in the wake of the dot-com bubble and 9/11.


Overall, the lyrics to United States of Whatever suggest a rejection of external authority and a focus on personal autonomy and self-expression. However, the tone of the song is generally light-hearted and humorous, which creates a sense of irony and self-awareness.
