Hold on to Your Genre Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kyle Chizeck 

Cover art for Hold on to Your Genre lyrics by Les Savy Fav

This jam came out before the whole vampire, Twilight craze. Did Les Savy Fav help start the type of fad that they criticize? Probably not, but I like to visualize goths and hipsters alike dancing like crazy to this song, because, while it seems kind of emo, it really transcends genres in subject matter. Maybe they gave it a goth rock sound because goths tend to stick to their genre more than anyone. Anyway, do the mood and vocals in this remind anyone else of Billy Idol?
