Garbage - Queer

[@talisman13]

It's December of 1995. I'm 18 and on my way back to the store after delivering pizzas listening to one of the local stations and this comes on. I was at the music store the next morning and bought Garbage's self titled debut CD, and soon found it was the rare record that didn't have a single bad song. Seen Shirley and The Boys at concerts more than half a dozen times through the years now. And they remain my favorite band.

I had the fortune of meeting her briefly and she was so sweet and sincere. My friend, who idolized her growing up, happened to be wearing the same scarf as her. They both got a laugh out of it; such a memorable moment!

I´ve never seen them live and I grew up in the ´90, when this came out ´96 I was 12 yrs and been into grunge and rock since I was 8 yrs. I am so happy for you to have seen them live and Shirley´s voice is just hauntingly beautiful and mysterious ! Lots of love from Iceland to you and everyone !!!

[@IrisFlowerAndRainbow]

And yes, Shirley has always been amazingly beautiful and sexy !!!!! And with age she has more of it both than ever !!!

"Ahead of their time" is one of the most overused cliches ever and is usually spurious. They were good but not in any way ahead of their time.

​@@martinjames4600 Did this comment relieve some of those unwanted feelings? You wrote an unnecessary, untrue, rude comment on a really great song, why? You could absolutely make the argument that they were ahead of their time; art is subjective.

Shirley was both a pioneer of empowerment for ladies and a fashion icon of the 90s.

[@charlesmitchell9690]

What? I'm really confused she's nowhere near as old as those who not only changed laws rights and how the world views women.. she's not even close to the first female rockstar popstar metal grunge etc. If anything I'd tell you she's possibly encouraging the victimization of women especially with the videos vs the pc age porn etc. I don't blame her for that but it is a time capsule of a society of brutality especially BDSM

[@gonagai1359]

@@charlesmitchell9690 who farted in your egg salad?

[@charlesmitchell9690]

@@gonagai1359 The person referred to her as a pioneer of women's freedoms. She had nothing to do with civil rights. She had nothing to do with voting. She had very little to do with what would be referred to as changing the appropriate dress code. I said very little here because there was a counter culture to the Barbie appearance by teenage girls when Shirley was popular. The BDSM style of the 1980s and 1990s well if you truly studied it Shirley potentially became an icon for women in the wrong place. The knowledge that society is made up of misogynists and rapists who prey upon those who dress a certain way. When you lure a type of girl or boy to a club a dancehall a concert. Except Shirley isn't just responsible for the live show or the dress code at the local mall... The internet is filled with wayyyy more garbage than that.

[@xoXoKillingXoxo]

Uhm…so you’re the type who would rather blame women for how they dress rather than the men who rape? yet you say the society is made up of misogynists and rapists…I'm not sure what you’re trying to say so please make sense and elaborate…I for one don’t believe in a rape culture or feminism, it may be somewhat complicated for me to grasp but since women got the right to vote population growth has been in decline and incel men becomes more prevalent and hate between the genders rises, you know with more career options being available to women some of them say they need no man soooo….besides why push for voting when all politicians do is talk and not acting in the interest of the people who voted for them.

[@raym.778]

Veruca Salt is my favorite band of all time. They have some really good b-sides and demos as well. Also I have to throw in Babes in Toyland and The Breeders if we're taking about great female fronted bands.

[@ici_marmotte]

@Eddie The Head Kim Deal (The Breeders), Courtney Love (Hole)...

[@Aerofluff]

Revolutionary, yes, but I don't think a song like this would even be made today. These days you're not even allowed to use certain words, much less risk your career with a title/lyrics using spicy words like queer. You'd offend too many people and there would be a pitchfork twitter cancel mob trying to destroy your livelihood, for absolutely no logical reason.

I'll never forget first time listening to Garbage over the house phone while struggling to understand my older Spanish speaking cousins in the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. I was rlly young and super into Nas and hip hop in general, my pops always had the Beatles or Elton John or the Doors etc *blasting*, while my mom had the radio tuned to Merengue o Salsa, Juan Luis Gabriel comes to mind. When they introduced me to this awesome band, I thought it was so freaking cool (and weird) they listened to English music especially rock/alt out there. Music transcends, it's universal. Garbage 4 ever

[@natehandlin9164]

Garbage still outstanding, they are one of the bands that made the 90's the best decade of music, Shirly has many looks, every one has alway to me been like eye candy..... with the voice and outstanding music, they will always be timeless. Yes she still is eye candy good times the 90's,

[@laujay9393]

My older sister used to play this song like crazy in the 90s. I haven't heard this in nearly 30 years, since I was 7 or 8. I didn't even remember it consciously. But the moment I heard the chorus, I was brought back to her bedroom all those years ago. I'm still finding the songs she listened to back then, bit by bit, songs I never knew the name of. Sometimes they come on the radio while I'm in a shop. Other times I stumble on them accidentally, like here. But they always bring such tingling, happy nostalgia! These are the soundtrack of my childhood. ♥

This music video debuted on MTV when I was in 6th grade and I thought it was so fucking awesome from the first time I saw it a d heard the song. I saw Shirley manson and immediately thought she had to be the sexiest woman on the planet. By the time I turned 14 I had my bedroom walls and the entire ceiling completely plastered over with an awesome mix of full size posters and centerfolds from all the greatest magazines, from hustler to thrasher, hit parader to hightimes... but the best one of em all that tied the whole collage together, the one I posted front and center at the top of the wall at the foot of my quadruple stack twin mattress bed... was my Garbage poster. It had Shirley poised on all fours in fishnets crawling over the Hollywood stars walk of fame with the rest of the band standing upright behind her. In the peak of puberty I used to beat off to that picture of her like some kind of dope fiend... It was awesome! Here's to you Shirley!

This is a cracking song,totally original in every way and the video is brilliant.MTV used to heavily play this back in the day before they abandoned real music and real people.

I read an article somewhere online last week (6-01-2015) of an interview with Garbage when this song came out and the band stated the song was about the difficulty of being different but not at all about homosexuality. The lyrics are, according to Garbage, about a boy who is introduced to sex by a women who was having sex with his father: "...like father, like son..." The song is WAY more complicated than superficial guessing might indicate. ♥

***** Dramatic effect or something? Who knows - it's a music video.

[@rafaellastname9057]

It's based on a book where the father pays a prostitute to make his son "a man"

Rafael Last name That wasn't mentioned in the Garbage interview. Not saying it's not true, but Garbage didn't say that.

+Gloomy sunday Wow, that's not a disturbingly homophobic interpretation you have there at all. Thank you so much for sharing.
