Kate Nash’s new single “GERM” is a battle cry—and no one’s safe from the truth.
“GERM” opens with a beat like steppers in a march—boots on the ground, combat-ready. From the first bar, Kate sets the tone: “Girl, listen up, you’re not radical—you’re not rad at all.” She comes armed with stats, hard facts, and unflinching fire to back it all up.
The track takes direct aim at TERFs (Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists) with equal parts sass and snark, exposing their ideology as a violent force—one that harms women, trans people, and anyone caught in the machinery of patriarchal oppression. When Kate declares, “You are not defending or protecting me,” she isn’t inviting debate—she’s calling out the hypocrisy of exclusionary, regressive misogynists.
No one hiding behind faux-feminist rhetoric is spared. And neither are the usual suspects.
The name-checks are deliberate and devastating: misogyny, transphobia—and some very specific culprits: Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, Donald Trump. Each callout lands like a punch to the throat, shattering the myth of toxic male invincibility and exposing the rot at the core of modern power. |
