comment |
Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not is the first studio album by the British indie rock band Arctic Monkeys. It was released in 2006 through Domino Records to near-universal acclaim, and it became the fastest-selling debut album ever by any band in the history of the UKnote Since surpassed by Leona Lewis's Spirit and Susan Boyle's I Dreamed A Dream. It has since gone quintuple platinum and quickly established the Monkeys as a mainstream indie act, though the band more or less eschewed this label with their constant experimentation on later albums such as Humbug and Suck It and See.The album's massive success stems from the fact that the band had a demo album (called Beneath the Boardwalk) that leaked onto the Internet in 2003, after which fans began widespread file-sharing on websites such as MySpace. The songs "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and "When the Sun Goes Down" were both released prior to the album, and both hit number one on the UK Singles chart. The band thus became one of the first to emerge through Internet popularity, and the album became a landmark in the Turn of the Millennium since they won a widespread audience of millennials in a way almost no other band had done before. |

Drowning My Sorrows: "You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights but You Were Staring Straight at Me" is about a guy so desperate to hook up with a girl that when she ignores him, he goes and drinks a few. Also "Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured", which is about how the narrator, in his drunken stupor, pretends to be macho while still feeling depressed about the night. |

Upper-Class Twit: Turner pokes fun at these guys in "Red Light", where he describes a preppy townie chatting up a girl while drinking a Smirnoff, which is a fruity drink light in alcohol content (as opposed to the harder beers that middle-class kids like Turner drink). He continues to mock them in "A Certain Romance", citing their Converses and tacky bottoms they wear to appear hip and cool. However, he appears to vindicate them by the end of the song, saying that despite all their show, they're still his friends and he just can't get angry at them. |

Smoking Is Glamorous: "Cigarette Smoker Fiona" subverts this, saying that even an attractive girl at a party can't play off her drunkenness with a cigarette in her mouth: |

comment |
Surprisingly Gentle Song: "Mardy Bum", "Riot Van", and "A Certain Romance" are all gentle songs amid the more loud and rocking tracks on the rest of the album. "Mardy Bum" is a romantic song, "Riot Van" is a Nostalgia Song, and "A Certain Romance" is a reflective summation about how the narrator should accept his friends. |

comment |
Clingy Jealous Girl: The video for the single "Leave Before the Lights Come On" is about a girl who attempts to jump off of a building before being saved by man. When he takes her to a cafe afterward, she tries to seduce him, but he maintains that he already has a fiance/wife, but she continues to pursue him. In the end, after he firmly tells her to stop following him around, she goes back to the building, before revealing that the whole suicide act was a ruse all along to win men's attention. |
