I don’t know if there’s any abuse that can really compare to being forced to listen to Silverchair but some may disagree, The group’s lead singer, Daniel Johns, for instance, said that this song was an answer to all of their critics. Go ahead and abuse me, the song says, I’m still going to play my music. Johns also once said, in answer to the band’s many critics, that, “every song I’ve heard sounds like another song I’ve heard.” That’s certainly true if you’re listening to Silverchair.
This song was the band’s second biggest hit in the U.S. Much of that popularity may have had something to do with this video, which is a pretty good video regardless of what you think about the band’s sound. It was directed by Nick Egan, who also did videos for Duran Duran, Oasis, Alanis Morissette, and many others.
Enjoy!
Through the Shattered Lens 
As an Australian, I never cared for this band. The big novelty was that the members of the band were all still in high school when they hit it big. That was the gimmick. Fair to say that the lads would have had only a fraction of the attention if they made their debut a decade later. I once watched an interview with the band, I found the lead singer (I don’t care to mention is name) to be dull, negative and inarticulate — in other words, just like the songs his band played.
