Cooler Than Me Lyrics

Cover art for Cooler Than Me lyrics by Mike Posner

This song is absolutely terrible. It's like the textbook description of Nice Guy (TM), set to music!

Let's just get this out of the way: if this girl is really such a snobby, stuck up bitch who is unmoved by his actions (which are, of course, completely innocent and have no ulterior motives!), then why does he want to be with her so badly? If she doesn't say hello to him, and doesn't know his name, it isn't her rejecting him for being less cool than she is, it's because he's practically a STRANGER to her.

So what does he do? Writes a song insulting her, accusing her of being vain, superficial, and not worthy of his time. The scorned admirer, his thoughtful displays of affection rejected and dismissed, the poor dear.

Seriously, read and consider these lyrics: they're misogynistic in the worst kind of way.
