Four Chords That Made A Million Lyrics

Cover art for Four Chords That Made A Million lyrics by Porcupine Tree

I dont know if they mean a particular song or group. Nirvana is mentioned here, and Blink182. When I first heard the song, I also tried to guess what song they could mean.

I think it is about music industry in general, perhaps about "Nu Metal" groups, Steven Wilson seems to dislike them (or at least he uses this term for commercial-oriented bands who play all the same stuff), if you listened to his interviews on the PT website.

I dont know, I think the meaning of the song is quite obvious here... unlike other PT tracks. This might be because it is much more a political statement than lyrical art... you know?
