Literally Anything But Bros are NOT Your Fucking Friends!
Hailing from Turkey, this riotgrrrl-esque punk band brings it hard and in your face! Right from the bat, I love the band name and it’s slap in the face of bro-culture. Then the song itself reminded me of a time I told a co-worker that we weren’t friends because we were merely work acquaintances and the minute we stopped working together we’d never speak to each other.
While the verses repeat the phrase “We’re Not Your Friends” over and over again. The song doesn’t become redundant. The band finds funny and interesting ways to say what doesn’t make you friends, and why they aren’t your friend. Also the delivery changes repeatedly…I’m assuming a different singer jumps in when it goes from shouting to a sort of sing-songy mocking and then the last verse is just filled with vitriol.
I could be wrong, but it most certainly seems like this is aimed at bros who take simple kindness to mean that they want to be friends or more. Listen fuckers—kindness doesn’t mean flirtation and it doesn’t mean a close relationship of any type is desired. It’s just fucking kindness.
