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.

Nothing Matters
Nobodys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say that you don't like me.
What I do ain't right.
Well I'm tired of hearing all you hippies fucking cry.
Don't do this, don't do that.
Can I bum a cigarette man.
It's not the 70's I don't like.
It's you that I can't stand.

Everything's different, everything's right.
I don't believe all your bullshit.
I don't believe all your lies.
You know that I don't care, I don't care what you think.
Save your breath, shut your mouth.
Turn around and go away!

Don't do this, don't do that.
"Hey, mellow out man."
It's not the cause that I don't like.
It's you that I can't stand.

Everything's different, everything's right.
I don't believe all your bullshit.
I don't believe all your lies.
You know that I don't care, I don't care what you think.
Save your breath, shut your mouth.
Turn around and go away!

Nothing matters to me.
Nothing matters to me.

Nothing matters to me.
Nothing matters to me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nothing Matters" by Nobody talk about the frustration and annoyance towards people who constantly criticize and judge without any real reason or understanding. The first verse addresses this directly, with the singer saying that they are tired of hearing people complain and give unwanted advice. The second verse emphasizes the singer's indifference towards the opinions of others and their refusal to be convinced by what they see as "bullshit" and "lies". The chorus "Nothing matters to me" reinforces this apathy, suggesting that the singer has given up on trying to please or impress others.

Overall, the song seems to be a rejection of conformity and social pressure to fit in or be accepted. The singer is frustrated with the hypocrisy and lack of genuine connection from people around them, which leads them to reject the idea that anything anyone else thinks or does has any value or importance. The song is a defiant statement of individualism and not caring about other people's expectations or judgments.
