“ ‘Unpopular’ was written with both a funny and serious attitude. It’s saying the world’s gone so nuts that the things the world loves are so disgusting and so crazy—like, in a world gone mad, would you really want to be popular? That’s kind of the joke of the song. Do you want to be on the side of...
[Verse 1]
Am I the only one who ain't come undone?
Everybody's lost their dang minds
When you check your feed, it's like clown TV
And you're waiting for the punchline
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my my, hey, yeah
Guess I'm a loner in the crowd
Oh, my my, hey, yeah
Guess I'm the one you've been talkin' about
Guess I'm the one you've been talkin' about
[Chorus]
Unpopular, unpopular
Call me outclassed, outcast, simple man, true facts
Have you heard? I'm a commoner
Got my family, sanity, everything I need
If freedom is disease
Who would ever want to be
Popular? For what it's worth
I think today's a good day to be unpopular
[Verse 2]
I won't apologize when I speak my mind
I'm just being me, so lay off
If thinking for myself is called raising Hell

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my my, hey, yeah
I ain't a loner in the crowd

[Chorus]
Unpopular, unpopular
Call me outclassed, outcast, simple man, true facts
Have you heard? I'm a commoner
Got my family, sanity, everything I need
If freedom is disease
Who would ever want to be
Popular? For what it's worth
I think today's a good day to be unpopular
[Post-Chorus]
To be unpopular
[Bridge]
Guess I'm the one you've been talkin' 'bout (Talkin' 'bout)
Guess I'm the one you've been talkin' 'bout (Talkin' 'bout)
Guess I'm the one you've been talkin' 'bout (Talkin' 'bout)
I guess I am the one
Whatever
[Chorus]
Unpopular, unpopular
Call me outclassed, outcast, simple man, true facts
Have you heard? I'm a commoner
Got my family, sanity, everything I need
If freedom is disease
Who would ever want to be
Popular? For what it's worth
I think today's a good day to be unpopular
[Post-Chorus]
To be unpopular

The meaning of “Unpopular” by Skillet is lighthearted, but there’s a clear message. So many people don’t have a place to belong. You used to know your neighbors. Our communities are online now, which contributes to the loneliness. You have powerful people telling you what reality is, what you should...
