Lyric discussion by indie-YYY 

I think this song is about how our society is so disposable. Society exploits teenagers as a commodity, manipulates us into being a resource, purchasing whatever Corporations are selling. This song serves as an indictment of our exploitive society, which views teens merely as sex objects and pocketbooks. I myself am 17, and I'm glad there is such a great song dedicated to my age. 17 is the best year of you life becasue it's the end of childhood, the last year of innocence and vulnerability. Ladytron totally realizes this and crafts an amazing teen anthem. I love the robotic vocals on the track, everytime I hear thissong I just imagine a futuristic, robotic, society, where they harvest youth and discard them in human dumps. Then again, that;s really creepy, so I just like to dance and sing along to this track too.

@indie-YYY this would be really funny if you were able to answer this, but you were 17 in 2006, which means you’re now in your 30’s. Do you still have the same opinion on the song, does it still have a place in your heart?
