Not too long ago, in June 2022, pop singer Pink expressed her outrage over the recent Supreme Court overruling of Roe v. Wade.
She even told pro-life Americans “never f***ing listen to my music again,” and “f*** right off.”
Taking things to another level, Pink released her newest single titled “Irrelevant” to attack gun owners, President Donald Trump, and the Supreme Court.
The song lyrics include: “You can call me irrelevant, insignificant/You can try to make me small/I’ll be your heretic, You f***ing hypocrite/I won’t think of you at all.”
“Sticks and stones and all that s***/Does Jesus love the ignorant?/I like to think he’d gladly take us all,” the song continues.
Pink sings, “Girls just wanna have rights/So, why do we have to fight,” referring to the historic Supreme Court overturning of Roe v. Wade.

The music video leaves nothing up to interpretation. Images of pro-abortion marches and racial justice demonstrations are highlighted in the beginning. Next, Pink adds footage of the conservative Supreme Court justices being sworn in before cutting to images of Adolf Hitler, Nazi Germany, and the Ku Klux Klan. There are references to George Floyd and school shootings as well.
Activists like Tarana Burke and boxing legend Muhammad Ali appear in the music video, along with images of political figures such as Rudy Giuliani and former President Donald Trump, who appear while Pink sings “I’ll be a heretic / you f***ing hypocrite.”
“Irrelevant” comes just a few weeks after Pink publicly denounced fans who hold particular views and instructed them to stop listening to her music.
“Let’s be clear: if you believe the government belongs in a woman’s uterus, a gay persons business or marriage, or that racism is okay- THEN PLEASE IN THE NAME OF YOUR LORD NEVER F***ING LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AGAIN,” she shared to social media June 25, the day after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
After getting a lot of criticism, the singer followed up with a subsequent tweet: “I think all of our nerves are collectively fried from so many years of racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc. +pandemics, mass shootings, wars and the total lunacy, hypocrisy, ignorance of the GOP-it’s all a bit much. But we will stick together. Good will prevail over evil.”
Next, she wrote, “And to all of you sad, old white men asking me if I still make music. I realize you’re out of touch- so ask your kids…. Oh wait- you can’t. They hate you.”
