In “Give Me One Good Reason,” Tom DeLonge asks for ‘one good reason’ to be another casualty of society. He critiques everyone around him and feels like an outcast; he believes punk rock is about hating everyone else, hence, he proceeds to judge everyone around him.
In the official program for the band’s 2001 TOYPAJ tour, Tom wrote:
"I felt like I was the only one in high school who liked my kind of music. Punk rock was only listened to by me, and a couple of skinhead friends. Anti-racist skins. Since 7th grade, that’s all I ever listened to. Punk rock to me is about being who you are and hating everyone else. Luckily there happens to be some music to go along with the feeling. Never ever try to be like the popular kids. Fuck them. regardless of what people say, I’ve been a punker since 7th grade, when most of our fans were in kindergarten. So never conform, love who you are. Fuckers."
