Merrill Nisker (born 1966 in Toronto), better known as Peaches, is an electroclash artist whose songs are mainly focused on sexuality. She lives and works in Berlin, Germany. She plays almost all the instruments for her songs, programs her own electronic beats, and produces her records.
Peaches' music is preoccupied with gender identity. Her lyrics and live shows self-consciously blur the distinction between male and female: she appears on the cover of her second album Fatherfucker with a full beard; when asked if she had chosen the title for shock value, she commented:
"Why do we call our mothers motherfuckers? Why do we stub our toe and say "Aww motherfucker!"? What is motherfucker? ...We use it in our everyday language and it's such an insanely intense word. I'm not one to shy away from these obscene terms that we actually have in our mainstream. Motherfucker is a very mainstream word. But if we're going to use motherfucker, why don't we use fatherfucker? I'm just trying to be even."
She refutes accusations of 'penis envy', preferring the term 'hermaphrodite envy', since "there is so much male and female in us all". Nevertheless, she does not shy away from identifying herself as a sexual being, although she rejects the sanitised portrayal of women in popular music.
Although she does not hold a teaching degree, she taught at private schools before her career in music.
Fancypants Hoodlum released in 1995 was released under her birth name Merrill Nisker
Members of her band are known as The Herms - JD Samson, Radio Sloan, Samantha Maloney.
Her songs have been featured in movies such as Mean Girls, My Little Eye, Lost in Translation, Waiting, and Jackass: Number Two. Her music has also been featured on Showtime's The L Word television series. Peaches performed guest vocals on P!nk's album Try This, on the song "Oh My God". Her lyrics are discussed as part of the Queer Studies course curriculum at the University Of Toronto, and she has been invited to lecture at the Contemporary Music Academy in Berlin. Her most notorious song, "Fuck The Pain Away", is also the name of an Electro night in Brighton.

I wanna tell you something
I wanna tell you something
You know what?
I don't give a damn about my reputation
I don't give a fuck!
I don't give a fuck! I don't give a fuck!
I don't give a fuck! I don't give a fuck!
I don't give a damn about my reputation
You know what else?
I don't give a shit! I don't give a shit!
I don't give a shit! I don't give a shit!
(I don't give a damn about my reputation)
I don't give a fuck! I don't give a fuck!
I don't give a fuck! I don't give a fuck!
I don't give a fuck! I don't give a fuck!
I don't give a fuck! I don't give a fuck!
I don't give a damn about my reputation
I don't give a shit! I don't give a shit!
I don't give a shit! I don't give a shit!
I don't give a shit! I don't give a shit!
I don't give a shit!
I don't give a damn about my reputation
Fuck, shit
Fuck, shit
Fuck, shit
Fuck, shit
I don't give damn, I don't give damn
I don't give damn, I don't give damn
I...Don't...Give...A...Damn...
The lyrics to Peaches's song I Don't Give a Fuck may seem on the surface as a simple expression of apathy towards one's reputation, but it conveys a deeper message of self-empowerment and rejection of societal constraints. In a world where individuals are often pressured to conform and abide by social norms, Peaches voices her defiance and individuality by proclaiming her indifference towards her reputation. By repeating the phrase "I don't give a fuck," she emphasizes her unapologetic attitude towards the expectations of others and her determination to live life on her own terms.
The repetition of "I don't give a fuck" also functions as a form of catharsis for the listener. Peaches's bold and aggressive delivery of the lyrics allows the audience to channel their own frustrations and grievances towards societal expectations. The swear words she uses also add emphasis to her message, as they break the taboo of using profanity in music, further solidifying her rebellious image.
In essence, the song can be interpreted as a call to action for individuals to reject societal pressure, embrace their individuality, and live life unapologetically. It's a declaration of self-love and empowerment, and its message has resonated with many who feel constrained by societal norms and expectations.
