Ever wonder what your teenagers are actually dancing to at their $125-a-ticket prom? DJ ESG pulls back the curtain on what might be the most expensive disconnect in American education today.

With razor-sharp wit and three decades of DJ experience, I break down today's most popular prom anthems lyric by lyric, revealing what students, teachers, and parents are actually celebrating. From Kendrick Lamar's tracks about pain and trauma (but make it sexy for slow dancing) to songs literally titled "Slutty" that administrators somehow approve, this episode exposes the stunning hypocrisy of modern prom culture.

The musical autopsy is both hilarious and horrifying as we discover songs about anxiety, mental health struggles, toxic relationships, and explicit sexual content – all playing while teachers sip Diet Coke and pretend it's normal. Meanwhile, parents drop hundreds on corsages, promposals, and formal wear, blissfully unaware their teens are forming memories to soundtracks about getting paid, getting laid, and glorifying destructive behaviors.

This isn't just about music – it's about the massive generational disconnect happening in schools nationwide, where superintendents and school boards in evening gowns smile and nod while approving playlists that contradict every value they claim to uphold. From security measures costing millions to prevent the very behaviors celebrated in these songs, to the financial absurdity of an event that costs more than a semester of community college, this episode asks the uncomfortable question: What are we really teaching our kids?

Share this episode with a parent, teacher, or administrator who needs to hear what's actually happening on the gym floor when the lights go down and the music comes up. And maybe think twice about what you're really paying for with that prom ticket.

Speaker 1:

What's up guys? Dj ESG and welcome to the Rock Bottom Podcast, my prom 2025 Council Rock's clueless clambake of carnage edition. Welcome back where we dive face first into the shit show. Nobody else has the balls to talk about Today's topic the senior prom At 100 to 125. A ticket to watch your teenagers twerk the songs about anxiety, strippers, guns, hustling and birthday sex. While the school board smiles in their evening hustling and birthday sex. While the school board smiles in their evening gowns like they're hosting the goddamn nobel peace prize. Here's what's about to happen on that gym floor, folks, and I know it's the same thing.

Speaker 1:

It was back in the 90s, but they were talking about gangster rap and shooting and killing each other. But let me talk to you straight fire two sentences or less per song. What they're talking about now, in 2025 not like us by kendrick lamar. Everybody's fake, everybody's a bitch counselor. Our kids be jumping around like they're dissing rival gangs. But don't worry, board members think it's a confidence anthem luther, kendrick lamar and sizza, pain, trauma and broken homes. But make it sexy. Perfect for a slow dance between two seniors who met on snap and still don't know each other's last names.

Speaker 1:

Nokia by drake my love. Life's a dumpster fire and I'm drunk texting you on a burner phone. Parents in the parking lot oh, isn't drake so talented. Meanwhile, inside, raw toxicity. Set to a bouncy beat anxiety by doce, I have mental breakdowns and still look hot as fuck. Honestly, the most accurate theme song for every girl getting ready for prom since january money on money, young thug, get rich or die trying, but with way more codeine. Counselor rock thinks this song is about financial literacy. God bless their fucking souls. Top down, whiz khalifa, smoke, weed, blast music and avoid responsibilities. Exactly the vibe when half the prom goers pregame in the wawa parking a lot and stumble in at 8 45 man, I love being a fucking teacher. I could love it.

Speaker 1:

Pimps and hustlers, lil tiger and wiz khalifa. I probably said that wrong. It's probably like lou tiger or something, I don't fucking know. Every woman is a transaction and every dude's a ceo. Administration hears the word hustler and thinks entrepreneurship, elective idiots, it's a fee by logic. If you want my time, you better venmo me bitch. Pretty fitting when the corsage cost 85 and the promposal balloons were an additional 200.

Speaker 1:

Slutty by designer. Oh my god, I remember panda. I'm nasty and proud and here's a three minute song about it half, the problem will be dry. Humping to this by 10 15, while teachers sip, diet coke and pretend it's normal, picture perfect, big homie g. Life's a shit storm, but I look fresh, so who the hell cares parents? These pictures are memories, reality. Girls flashing gang signs and guys holding up two fingers like they're recruiting for the bloods pent up in the penthouse. Russ. I'm rich, lonely and suspiciously emotional. Exactly the vibe for that one senior crying in the bathroom because her situation ship didn't text back square one by redville back to the bottom. But we're vibing about it. Honestly. This might be the most accurate song for the entire graduating class entering the job market.

Speaker 1:

Rather Lie, playboy, cardi and the Weeknd. I'd rather fake my love for you than be alone. Nothing screams high school relationship goals louder than this absolute masterpiece of dysfunction. Can't Hide it. Featuring John Aiko Lil Durk who Is that English? I'm cheating, but I wrote a song about it, so it's romantic. Somebody's gonna dedicate this to their date while their exes watch from across the dance floor, tv Off.

Speaker 1:

Featuring lefty gunplay, kendrick Lamar. Turn off the distractions, turn up the crime statistics. Super chill. Definitely appropriate for a $1 million school renovation and brand new security doors. Baked chicken so suppa, my love life and my brain are equally overcooked. Perfect metaphor for seniors who've been mentally checked out since February and only showed up for the free food or the food their parents paid for. Squabble up, kendrick Lamar. Throw hands, not words. Can't wait for two dudes from opposing lunch tables to square up in the middle of Sweet Caroline, dark thoughts, lil Tecca, depression. But it might be a party banger, a slow dance where everybody's smiling on the outside and dying on the inside.

Speaker 1:

Peak Gen Z energy Birthday featuring Monty Fetty Wap. If it's your birthday, you better be getting laid or die trying Moms think this is a happy birthday song. Spoiler alert it's literally about just fucking on your birthday. Went Legit by G Herbo. Where do these names come from? I was doing crimes, now I'm doing taxes Probably the only semi-wholesome message. So naturally no one will listen to it. And there you have it. Council, rock your taxpayer dollars at work from me, dj ESG, a DJ who's been playing prom songs for over 30 years. You're renting out ballroom space for a live-action music video about depression, drug money and emotionally unavailable teenagers, and nobody gives a flying fuck because, oh my God, it's their special night. Meanwhile, the superintendent is out here approving chaperone lists like he's running a daycare for felons and the director of secondary education is too busy stapling his goatee to his chin to realize that slutty is track three. God bless America, god bless you, council Rock, and God bless promposals that cost more than a semester of community college. I'm DJ ESG. Enjoy the prom, y'all, soulja.
