What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this soundtrack is probably going to be as popular with teens as those for indie hits like Juno, Almost Famous, and Garden State. Songs tackle typical teen angst-filled topics like unrequited love and Big Brother. There are some clearly sexual lyrics, as well as quirky references to misplaced sex pictures and mentions of drinking and going out. And the song "Electro-Socket Blues" talks about suicide, but in a sarcastic way -- if that's at all comforting. A deluxe version includes three additional tracks.
Violence:
"Electro-Socket Blues" includes the lyrics: "We should bleed out my heart/cutting open my heart/I could kill myself/would that make your life better?"
Sex:
References include clearly sexual lyrics (from "Lover") like "I wanna open your door/and love you 'til you're sore," "climb right on me/lay it on me," "I'm pullin' out my wand," and (from "Negative") "let's make some porno/no I ain't your ho," "my girlfriend's kinky," and "gettin' busy on the rug."
Language:
"Ass" is used once.
Consumerism:
Just the obvious movie tie-in.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Some songs talk about going out, drinking, and drugs (only mild references to the latter). For example, "After Hours includes the lyrics "we're finally drunk enough," "one final round," and "I'll give you my sweet grass."
