The Song That Became THE Anti-Woke Anthem

 

Over the past year the Woke movement has become short-hand for an agenda that has become more radicalized by the minute. It's turned into a mutated Frankenstein monster for the snowflakes of society, turning people against each other over the smallest micro-aggression, to the point that it has started to impact freedom of speech. 

Just like all the intelligent people in society we are against racism, and are for freedom of choice and life, but tip-toeing though a minefield of woke propaganda is no way to go through life. This is where the song Buttons comes in.

The band Paranoid Alice have released this exciting track (part of the new Punge Rock movement) which features a deadpan recital, ironic lyrics, ''You're still my favourite porn star", "Tell the world that it's going broke'' and "Hey bitch your like Destinys Child.'' Imaginative and with an infectious cheeky beat with a fresh approach. It offers many implications, but no straight answers – an excellent introduction to an intriguingly mysterious band that has dared to call out the Woke Movement. Even coining the phrase ''Drama-geddon''

The songs chorus, ''I was not happy last night TRUST'' is a chant about being trapped in bad scene after bad scene, the vocals lurch and spiral, sidling away from the unrelenting rhythm section and canine guitars like a child going floppy to escape her parent’s arms. Brilliant absurdity, their music is a mix of indie-rock and post-punk and it’s far from mainstream, but this danceable track will push the band and Punge Rock into the spotlight, and elbow Woke into the past, as we all learn how to just get along without complaining too much.
