Reject All American

you need money to live in this country, that doesn't mean you have to like the concept.

I think this is about rejecting the all-american type of lifestyle, which is represented by this boy. He just plays by the rules (if you work hard, you'll succeed). But all you really get is a starring role on "Nothing Incorporated" which just means a totally boring type of life. This dude obviously has an inflated ego, possibly from getting praise for doing what he's told. "Regimented, Designated, Mass Acceptance, Over Rated", refers to how most people do not question the "All-American Lifestyle", they just follow someone else's dreams. Lip synch, just meaning totally soulless, not being authentic. "Apology, Salutation, Teen Anthem, Obligation" is probably his boring style of rock music delivered half-heartedly or just cliché styled.

The definition of mausoleum means "a burial place for the bodies or remains of many individuals". I think the mausoleum holds the individuality that gets killed with the acceptance of popular culture. This song calls for a rejection of that all-american way of life.

I think the slogan "Reject All-American" can be compared to "Kill Whitey".

REJECT ALL-AMERICAN!

<3

love this song..bikini kill..yeey

This is so apt for now...all we get pushed in our face by the media are rich whiteboys who have formed different variations of rock bands which are all equally lame...which is what this song is about.

I think this song is about resisting capitalism in America.

Bikini Kill made a lot of money. Hanna makes a lot of money in Tigre. Why would they be against capitalism?

this makes me think of fight club and i have no idea why

The title says it all. Reject All-American.
