song analysis

The song we have chosen for our music video is deceptacon by Le Tigre, a feminist punk electronic band. The song was released in 1999 and acts as a strong anthem addressing themes of revolt, empowerment, and resistance. It also explores societal concerns and urges listeners to question the status quo with appealing beats and challenging lyrics.

The song revolves around opposition against gender norms and oppressive systems encouraging people, especially women, to accept their true selves, break free from society expectations and the patriarchal system, and fight the constraints that have been placed on them.

PROMINENT themes

Feminism, empowerment, disobedience, and defiance are all mentioned while showing an urgency in eliminating oppressive structures and achieving gender equality. Their message speaks to people who are feeling marginalised and inspires them to join the struggle for social change.

The pace of the song is very quick and energetic, creating a 'live your life to the fullest' theme and giving an insight on how rebels feel and what they go through.
