1) Mixing four-chord Ramones-inspired rock anthems with an unadulterated pornography fixation, the Nobodys have sprung forth from the fertile grounds of Colorado Springs to become the reigning Ron Jeremys of the punk rock world!
It all began with their 1996 debut album on Hopeless, "Short Songs for Short Attention Spans." Produced by Joe Queer of The Queers, the record, full of two- minute gems, had fans getting it up from coast to coast as the band brought their live show across the country and around the world, touring the US, Europe and Canada several times over. Of course, this only made fans wet for more, so the Nobodys came again with their 1997 tour de force, "Smell of Victory" (produced by Warren Fitzgerald of The Vandals).
Tours with The Queers, Chixdiggit and Guttermouth won over even more converts. By now, collectors were going crazy trying to snatch up all the Nobodys material they could, so the band made it easy by compiling their numerous 7", compilation and demo songs onto one CD, appropriately titled "Greatasstits." (The cover, a close up on the enormous chest of renowned porn star Taylor Wayne, is as unforgettable as the music.) Soon to follow was the inevitable Generation XXX, produced by Donnell Cameron (Bad Religion, Rocket from the Crypt, NOFX) with twenty-five tracks of, what some would call ...sloppy, loud, perverted, snotty, annoying and not to mention overbearing punk rock from Colorado springs... Yeah, that's about right.
2) The Nobodys are a band that had their single "No Guarantees" appear on the TV series Miami Vice.
3) Nobody was a garage rock band from Seattle, WA during the 90's and featured pro skateboarder Scott Smiley on drums.
I Hate It
Nobodys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of 'I Hate It' by Nobody capture the frustration and anger of the singer as they navigate through life, encountering various types of people and situations that they despise. The singer starts with a disdain for the hippies hanging out at the mall, followed by the girls who refuse to return their calls. They then move on to the teenyboppers at the show and the porn stars they will never know, suggesting a sense of isolation and bitterness towards the world.
As the singer proceeds, they express their disgust for all the people they meet and wish they could just all leave them alone. They despise men who resemble Jesus Christ and even the riot girls, who are not very nice in their eyes. The new guitar they cannot afford and their girlfriend with another guy are added frustrations that compound an already overwhelming sense of disgust and despair.
The lyrics of 'I Hate It' evoke a sense of alienation and disillusionment with the world. While the specific references to different types of people and situations may be somewhat dated, the overall sentiment of feeling overwhelmed by the world's noise and chaos is still relevant today.
