Wavves - Hippies Is Punks Lyrics

MISERY IS A FUNNY FEELING

I loved this song in high school, forgot about it, and suddenly remembered it and realized the title is a GISM reference lol.

If anyone here is from Michigan and wants to make music like this hit me up

When this is your favourite wavves song but it ent on Spotify 🙃

Misery's a fleeting feeling
Do you ever think about me
Though you don't have to try

Misery's a funny feeling
You always leave me with that feeling
I'm wasting my whole life

So get me out of your head, and I'll get you out of mine
Get me out of your head, it's just a waste of time

Open heart and barely breathing
Staring at the stone white ceiling, I'm just a parasite

I'm not ashamed or unforgiving
I know you'll never end up with me, so I won't even try

So get me out of your head, and I'll get you out of mine
Get me out of your head, it's just a waste of time

So get me out of your head, and I'll get you out of mine
Get me out of your head, it's just a waste of time

I remember why I hated you again
and you say it's cause of me that one night friend
and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on

So get me out of your head, and I'll get you out of mine
Get me out of your head, it's just a waste of time

I know you'll never end up with me so i wont even try <-- me to every guy i liked in high school Lol 🙁

Still listening to this

Life is so random [cool]

Is this the same box as the cover for @death grips ?

wow i remember listening to this when i had a crush on this guy. this brings back so many memories honestly. i still like him btw haha

i don’t like him anymore bye

@pauline gomes why?

When you're in your room all the time because you are a loser and people like to be your friend and you know you can't be there for reasons so you end up alone forever.

Wish I could start a band like this.

666lkg666 why not start now? it's never too late.

It's been 2 years... I hope your band's kicking ass already

If you’re from Michigan, I play drums

+EstTerminus lighten up.

The wandering guitar lick reminds me of El Scorcho.

my favourite

pretty much ween.....go on!!!

This song so fucking much.

You forgot a in the middle of your sentence.

yOu guYs dont understaND this band is my LIFE

No.. YOU don't understand

NO. YALL REALLY. DONT UNDERSTAND.

I understant

@Kalbak no u dont

dang beach boys heavy in this one

Probably the best song by the best band. Listening to this song is like an addiction. You can't stop. I love Nathan Williams. 

@***** Sweet Valley is criminally overlooked and underrated

@*****
Every project is so different by them too, every album.

@*****
Nathan said himself that his brother is the mastermind in Sweet Valley, but I'm sure he adds his own weirdness into the mix. They both pick what samples to put together so

I'm saying early Weezer/Pixies with this one. Swag Nathan, swag. 

Anyone else get a Pixies vibe from this song? Any band I can say that about is one you know I'm gonna start following. Made me real happy. :D

This is the most underrated Wavves song.

Every song is underrated

This whole album was just so great. I knew of but couldn’t have gave a shit about wavves before this album dropped. 2012-13 was all about this album as well as royal blood debut album , and aranda’s “stop the world” album

@EstTerminus Your so cool bro. 

thanks daw'

Good point. putting their tacky reference aside this band is still derivative shit, in my opinion.

too bad making derivative music and shamelessly referencing old music for publicity purposes is also a norm that apparently out weighs the norm of making art for the sake of self expression. maybe wavves' sense of irony is just way over my head

bro wtf calm your tits

hey man, sometimes song titles are just song titles and have nothing to do with the lyrics. Or they do it on purpose cause they know that the norm of song titles has a general relation to lyrics. Wavves is AWESOME

yeah but you have to admit its hard to find pop punk kids that are also into bands like discharge or gism or dbeat/blackmetal/crust/hardcore bands which most gism fans are into. whey they more than likely are to be into joyce manor, fidlar, title fight other pop punk or indie pop shit

lol HIPPY IS PUNKSSSsssssssss

G.I.S.M rocks and so does Wavves. I like my punk/hardcore/grind/power violence, and I like my Feel good music.

Not to sound like a whiney hipster or nothin. No hate.

actually iv'e seen a buncha hipster who rep gism, and met some who actually like gism and other raw punk/hardcore bands. I like both G.i.s.m and wavves. STFU

im suprised sakevi hasn't killed lady gaga or this guy for trying to look cool by referencing "punk is hippies" GISM is wayy to raw for these hipster clowns trying to be "punk" and "edgy" buncha soft grunge kooks if you ask me

FUCK THIS!!! The lyrics have nothing to do with the song title, which is a direct reference to GISM, Punks is Hippies, which sounds completely different. What a feeble attempt at gaining "punk points"!!! I'm sure i'm not the first to notice this.

EstTerminus too edgy for me bro. i doubt a non punk band gives a shit about pun points. what are you? a 15 year old who just got an amebix vynal and thinks their shit dont stink?

They’ve put Punk in the title of a lot of their songs. It’s not exactly easy to thing of song titles. If your poor little self doesn’t enjoy Wavves because of something wrong with your brain then just move on. (Ik it’s five years ago but like wtf’s wrong with you?)

Song titles and song lyrics don't have to directly correspond with each other all the time.








Also, fuck you

replay replay replay replay think about changing it then say no and replay reaply

i would say it's considered garage rock because it's lo-fi..

parfamos (dot) bandcamp (dot) com/track/hippies-is-punks-acoustic-cover
Here's an acoustic cover of hippies is punks!
Hope y'all enjoy

the cover for the actual single for this song is so fucking sick!

They aren't known well enough to be criminally anything except underrated lol It is repetitive btw. Which can be proven. I mean it's all relative so let's just say this is like one tiny step up from the repetition you'd hear on radio pop.

YAY opinions! Considering you came here advertising that criminally shit UK band - The Chameleons, I guess we have different opinions!

if you ever come to america and walk around a suburb on a summer evening you are bound to run into some rock band practicing in a garage. garage rock. now, however, a lot of people take it out of context and use it as an umbrella term to categorize raw, less-clean rock

I'm trying to figure out what exactly is Garage Rock.

I went to Discogs and the site rated this song as Garage Rock. Can someone explain me why.

Thank you

Afraid of Heights is the Album. It does NOT include this track, this is a bonus track on the CD version. They had a Record Store Day promo of this track on flexi-vinyl, but I couldn't find it anywhere.

wtf is this?

Simple. Repetitive. Cliche. Boring. That about sums it up. If I was gonna go this route then I'd rather go listen to the Weezer blue album. Certainly not this angsty bullshit.

The earliest influences of Wavves can be seen with the criminally underrated UK band - The Chameleons. They also were the basis for Interpol's entire sound.

Mattydigs I’m so sorry that you exist.

I just listened to The Chameleons. What the actual fuck did you put in my ears? How dare you compare Wavves to whatever that is.

Should have been on Heights!

ive just started my wavves vinyl collection and hoping to soon ad this album to it! anyone have an album name for me? and/or a site where i could buy it because the guy who owns my local record shop is senile.. lol

no one really seems to remember this track.

song sucks yes but your sentiment......woo man not even

Yeah, fuck anyone who tries to write a solid record with structure and poise. That shit sucks. I wish bands would just write the same record over and over and over again. Because fuck change, growing up, evolving musically, or being creative. Fuck song writing, fuck talent, and fuck anything that doesn't sound like it was recorded on a 8 track. I want mindless noise that took 15 minutes to write and record. I can't stand bands who try to make solid records. (all sarcasm, go fuck yourself)

You must not smoke weed or eat pizza. Or do them in that order. You must be gay.

lmaoo, dude..shut the fuck up

Sounds even better on 240p, either way, I fuckin love Wavves

Also, your opinion shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone you minecraft faggot

i just realized how amazing this song was.

I'm digging the new Wavves music

ok you dont like this song stop crying now

stop treating your fucking opinion like it actually means anything. this song isn't their best but stop saying what they should write about, it makes you look like a fucking douchebag
also life sux was great shut the fuck up

Go back to tumblr, hipster shithead.

I'm liking the newer wavves music

Haha if only everyone had this kind of thinking process. Everyone now a days would just get upset without trying to find a solution to their problems. Throwin chairs and shit.

Wavves was great, Wavvves was best, King of the Beach good, Life Sux sucked, and this song by far is Wavves' worst

Craftolotto Lol sorry surfer boy

YOU SUCK BALLS BRUUH

WAVVES TILL I DIE

Honestly Wavvves was good, King of the beach sucked ass, and life sux, actually sucked... but this song by far is there best...

What I'm saying is this band is evolving in a very good way and this song is gold, and you only like the "original" sound because it sounds Lo-Fi cheap. Of course it had its charms but you should be glad that they got into something more professional, because concerning the music it's still the same dope.

so what you're say is, if someone doesn't like the evolution of a band, because it's worse than earlier stuff, said person is a hipster. you're a fucking moron.

...and the stupidest comment of 2012 goes to you.

Fucking hipster who can't bear evolutions, this song is dope that's all

Quit being so self righteous. No one likes that.

There's an albums worth?? Try 3. If you knew what Wavves originally sounded like, you'd understand why this "change" sucks. King of the beach was great, but this song is just awful.

when he tries to write songs like this one, it's incredibly boring. this doesn't even sound like a wavves song. there is nothing wavvey about it.

he needs to start singing about weed and pizza again

This song is really good. I wish they'd go back to their noisier elements though, and incorporate that into what made their last EP and Album so good. It'd be perfect.

1:57 ♥

IMO post acid and mickey mouse where their best songs.

Listen to Poor Lenore, I like a lot of Wavves songs. Easily they're one of my favorite bands, but this song and Poor Lenore are what I think they do best and should stick with.

i haven't been crazy about anything wavves has made since they starting sounding like blink 182 with king of the beach (except for mickey mouse and baseball cards those tracks were excellent and its weird to me that nobody else seems to think so), but this is REALLY growing on me.

Completely agree James!

Pretty sweet early Foo Fighters type influence on this I thought when it came out. Still a fucking sick track. Hope their next LP carries on in this kind of vein, less lo-fi suits them.

This is best Wavves yet, glad to hear they've been influenced by most recent Tera Melos sound.

Um, look it up?

Um, you're a moron?

does this new song mean we can expect a new album soon? please let that be the case...

I miss the old wavves sound. I like the lo fi noise element, but this is still a strong song. Peace and love to the denizens of the internet.

unexpected, but this is actually really fuckin awesome

This is great.

no. just no

It donesnt sound like waves much but i still love it

is this seriously wavves? i didnt think it was possible to get any worse

jooooooke, ben white. joke. choke.

Sounds good maybe better if the guitar was louder/clearer

fuck this wavves sucks hippies is punks is a g.i.s.m album from the 80s and it is way cooler than this shit get your own ideas please?

This song kicks ass. Deal with it.

I don't mean to sound annoying, but King of the Beach will always be the best.

Sounds overproduced, guitar and shit isn't clear anymore, it's muddled, too much bass. Not sure about the song itself yet though

I hear cows cows and cows in this.

omg omg this cant be wavves i loved his earlier shit but omg this is so lame omg it like sounds the same kinda but not reallly omg fuck wavves now ha

Sounds a bit like early Flaming Lips.
