Music is the perfect genre for Getting Crap Past The Radar
If you find yourself drunk anywhere in Britain, start singing this song really loudly and you will make scores of new friends who also like to be drunk while singing loudly. Good times.
That’s not what the song is about lol
That’s definitely what the song is about. Have you never heard the lyrics?
Have you?? It’s about getting cheated on, he’s clearly not on board with it lol
Cuckolding doesn’t imply consent. In fact it pretty specifically implies that the man doesn’t know it. The word has been in the English language for almost a thousand years, whereas the fetish is relatively new.
Fun fact: giving someone “bunny ears” by putting two fingers behind their head used to be referred to as “the horns of the cuckold”, and it meant that you were saying that person’s wife had been unfaithful.
He wrote “cucked” which is modern slang
So? The definition is the same.
You can look these things up before you comment.
4chan/Incel culture has co-opted “cuckolding” from a consensual kink to mean just plain old getting cheated on.
So you really think the fetish came first? Because the word predates the modern fetish usage by like 800 years.
It comes from the cuckoo bird, which engages in nest parasitism. It lays its eggs in another bird’s nest to be raised by birds that aren’t its parents.
Ugh, another “literally”. Fuck that, let’s not validate incel nonsense.
Kink culture has co-opted it from plain old getting cheated on to a consensual kink.
My kink is watching people argue over the difference.
Sick fuck!
…if you’re not going to do anything about it, i.e. watch it happen, that’s the definition of cuckoldry
Have you never heard the lyrics?
I have probably heard this song over 10k times, if I’m lucky. If you were alive in the UK in the 00s, there was no fucking escape.
I was curious, as I’ve heard the song countless times but never really paid much attention because I don’t really like the killers.
So I searched for them.
It’s funny reading the comments
I swear half of the rock genre is about getting cucked. Every 2000s rock group and was 4 middle aged dudes singing about their wife cheating on them
tfw “being cheated on (consensually)” has somehow developed the same meaning as “being cheated on (nonconsensually)”
Don’t make this another “literally”, please.
That just sounds like country music with a distortion pedal added in.
Isn’t that Rockabilly?
Nah, Rockabilly at least has a tone of doing something, having agency (or drowning your sorrows in a drink, so there’s the country angle).
