DJ Culture Lyrics

I don't believe the song is political at all and I was baffled when the Discography liner notes said the song was inspired by the Gulf War. To me, the song is all about the "rose colored glasses" aspects of gay culture that we're not allowed to talk about.

@CockMacho I know this is a dozens later, but found myself listening to PSB this week, and have always loved this song.

I think it’s possible on some level it’s about both.

I recall reading at some point one of them talking about seeing how life just went on, seeing youth dancing at the club like all was normal while massive firepower was raining down on another nation. So both ideas may have been bouncing around as they wrote it.

And I’m guilty too, appreciating the social commentary while finding it one of the most addictive rhythm patterns...
