The song is, according to The Guardian, about "the long-term disenfranchised and perma-skint, who spend their lives feeling broke, scared and hopeless, without a safety net."
“It turned out she was from quite a well-to-do background and somehow thought it would be interesting to go and live in a kind of scummy area, as she found that exotic," Jarvis Cocker explained. “I was studying film, and she might’ve been doing painting, but we both did sculpture for two weeks.”
"Common People" has found a new life as My Chemical Romance released it as part of the reissue of Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.
On platforms like TikTok, some fans of the New Jersey rockers mistook the "common people" line for "non-alternative" or "mainstream" people, ironically using the lyrics to claim it's about celebrating uniqueness. Many younger fans have made videos celebrating how they are not like the "common people", losing the initial message of the track.
While everyone is allowed to interpret a song in their own way, some commentators have found the "misinterpretation" offensive. After all, the themes of class tourism are still as important today as they were in the 1990s when Jarvis Cocker wrote the track.
