This song is about the anxiety singer Josh Katz feels about turning thirty. Ironically, the song was released on his birthday with an accompanying music video.
“30” was hinted on the band’s Twitter multiple times prior to the release, specially with the opening line of the song, “I’m nervous, so ne...
[Verse 1]
I'm nervous, so nervous
I overeat, I lack purpose
And I'm only scratching the surface (Ooh, hey)
And I'm not shelved 'cause sex sells
But how long 'til I'm canceled?
This is thirty, fuckin' thirty
I'm still here, I'm still dirty
[Verse 2]
I made it, I'm a flower
I don't sleep, I don't shower (Gross)
I masturbate twice every hour, haha (That's fucking disgusting)
And my band's sick 'cause my head's sick (Yeah, okay)
I get drunk and I'm reckless
Stalk my Twitter, stan my bullshit
This is thirty, something is wrong with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah! (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah, he, he!
Hahaha
[Chorus]
So raise up your glasses to going out of fashion
To acronyms, sex cams, and social distractions
'Cause everything's changing, and I don't know shit about shit
[Verse 3]
I'm older, I got wrinkles
I still complain and get pimples
I miss when everything was simple (Ooh, ayy)
The sex passed too fast
I ask, "How long did your ex last?"
I'm fuckin' worthless, I'm unhappy
This is thirty, yeah! (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah! (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
Yeah, he, he, woo! (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Ugh, so get off your asses and take down the masses
Socialist, fascist, the world is all plastic
'Cause everyone fakes it, but they don't know shit about shit
[Bridge]
You treat me like a baby
Forgive me when I'm wrong
You love me when I'm crazy
I'm alright, but I hate that song (Ah-ah)
(Attention to the world, there's something wrong with me)
You treat me like a baby (Ah-ah)
(But sing the words and I'll pretend I'm twenty-three)
Forgive me when I'm wrong (Ah-ah)
(I'll please the crowd and I'll put out the candlelight)
You love me when I'm crazy (Ah-ah)
You know my only wish is for a better life
[Outro]
(Attention to the world, there's something wrong with me)
Don't treat me like a baby (Ah-ah)
(But sing the words and I'll pretend I'm twenty-three)
And fight me when I'm wrong (Ah-ah)
(I'll please the crowd and I'll put out the candlelight)
And smack me when I'm crazy (Ah-ah)
I'm alright, but I hate that song
30 was written by Josh Katz.
30 was produced by John Varvatos & Scott Borchetta & Josh Katz.
Vocalist Josh Katz shared to the band’s mailing list:
I’ve always been uncomfortable with the idea of getting older. 30 is a milestone I’ve been dreading since 20. I wanted to write a song about how I’m feeling internally and everything happening around me in 2020 as a 30 year old. The world is fuc...
Josh Katz shared on an interview with AltPress:
The world does seem to be coming to a tipping point—socially, politically, economically, environmentally. The video is certainly a commentary on all of that. It’s very much of this time: what it’s like turning 30 in 2020 when things are so up in the a...
