After 'delulu' at Parliament, we have 'fine shyt' in songs
After the students’ protests and their interesting ways of capturing their dukh, dard aur peeda, there is another very interesting thing happening around us - everyone is trying to be Gen Z.
No matter which age bracket you belong to, words and phrases that many of us once detested are slowly becoming part of our everyday lore. Politicians are using delulu and solulu, and now Guru Randhawa has come up with a track called 'Fine Shyt'.
Netizens were quick to say that perhaps the singer wanted to make something for Gen Z and someone told him, "Bhai, this is a word they use a lot."
If you haven’t heard the song, imagine someone saying, "You are so fine shyt, fine shyt, fine shyt" seven or eight times, and the girl replying, "I am so fine shyt, fine shyt, fine shyt…"
Those are, more or less, the lyrics.
For the uninitiated, fine shyt is slang for someone who is attractive, desirable or, well, very good-looking.
Look, use the lingo if you want. There is nothing wrong with that. But maybe don’t simplify it, force it or overuse it when it makes absolutely no sense. There is a difference between understanding Gen-Z language and simply picking a word from the internet and deciding, haan, ispe gaana bana dete hain.
Some people also compared Guru to Tony Kakkar, asking if he had taken inspiration from his genre of music. Tony himself joined the trolling and made a reel saying, "Maza aata na saath mein troll hote?"
The song is catchy, sure.
But it is also plain brain rot.
Another thing that caught my attention was the disclaimer:
"As always, all artists in this video are 18, including me. This video is a work of fiction, camp and satire. Highly advise you don’t try this at your actual 9-5 unless you want to be permanently banned from the office by HR. No corporate policies were harmed."
For context, the song’s video features girls dancing in an office set-up, while Guru’s earlier video Azul had faced criticism for showing schoolgirls. So yes, the disclaimer makes sense.
But I have one question.
Who would give us the disclaimer for the fine shyt we just heard?
Guru, it is done, bro.
