about this song
One of Death Grips' most lyrically straightforward songs, “Punk Weight” is an ode to violence and a proclamation of constant forward motion. High-pitched, accelerated vocals abruptly segue into overblown blasts of distorted drums and wailing synth stabs. The song also draws attention to the Stefan’s use of Ride’s monstrous characterization to display an unruly punk ideology: “There are characters in [punk] that do deliberately go as far as they can in certain kind of taboo areas.” - Richard Hell
