[@ShottasDem]

How is this song about toxic masculinity ?

[@spacecadetred2388]

@@ShottasDem read the lyrics

[@jackjude]

@@ShottasDem It's about a "love Island" type. I wouldn't say it's about "toxic" masculinity - apart perhaps the threat of violence the subject makes in the first verse.

[@tron7658]

@@jackjude Perhaps you wouldn't say it's about toxic masculinity, but the lead singer would appear to disagree with you. Read the kerrang interview "idles joe talbot talks masculinity and mental health".

[@jackjude]

@@tron7658 yeah, I've read that. As I said, most of it conveys a kind of upper middle class narcissistic "love Island type" - apart from the few lines about "these boots are made for stomping". There are other idles songs which are more about toxic masculinity. Oddly Joe threatens the guy, so maybe there's more to it, as he is not above threatening violence himself here.
