Harvey Danger：Meaning of Authenticity Songmeaning

The song "Authenticity" by Harvey Danger is a commentary on modern society's obsession with being original and authentic. The lyrics mock those who flaunt their pedigree and try to be unique, while the narrator identifies himself as a honey bee with a stinger, and a razor that cuts. The chorus "I'm already spinning in my grave" suggests that even after death, people are still trying to be original and authentic. The line "I'm already spitting on your grave" implies that the narrator sees these attempts as futile and even disrespectful. The song also takes a jab at the documentary culture of society, with the narrator declaring himself as the subject, willing to answer any questions. In the end, the repeated "la la la" implies a sense of apathy towards the pursuit of authenticity and the superficiality of modern society's obsession with it.
