Rock N' Roll

Skrillex's song "Rock N' Roll" is a high-energy anthem that celebrates the communal and unifying power of music, particularly rock n' roll. The repetitive lyrics, "Hello again, to all my friends, together we can play some rock n' roll," emphasize the joy and camaraderie that music brings to people. This repetition creates a sense of inclusivity, inviting listeners to join in the celebration and feel a part of something larger than themselves. The phrase acts as a rallying cry, bringing people together through a shared love of music.

The song also features a mix of electronic beats and rock elements, characteristic of Skrillex's unique style. The line "Rude boy bass, mash up de place" introduces a reggae influence, showcasing Skrillex's ability to blend different genres seamlessly. This fusion of styles not only makes the song dynamic and engaging but also reflects the diverse influences that shape modern music. The inclusion of aggressive and rebellious phrases like "You can eat shit and fuckin'" and "And fuck you" adds a raw, unfiltered edge to the song, capturing the rebellious spirit often associated with rock n' roll.

The latter part of the song introduces a critique of the music industry, with lines like "You have technicians here, making noise / No one is a musician / They are not artists because no one can play the guitars." This commentary suggests a disillusionment with the commercialization of music and a longing for the authenticity and raw talent that rock n' roll represents. By juxtaposing this critique with the celebratory tone of the rest of the song, Skrillex highlights the tension between the pure, unifying power of music and the often superficial nature of the music industry.
