Their new song they were promoting on TikTok I’d Rather Die, features questionable lyrics like “I don’t know how you think we’re gonna fuck / When you can’t get it up / I’m sick of hearing it’s the alcohol” and “I’m just saying / It’s not fair to / Leave me hanging like this.” It almost seems fittingly hypocritical that the band has songs about questionable consent given their ties to producer Dr. Looking at the lyrics, it seems like it’s trying too hard to be empowering to women to the point of being problematic again.

Tramp Stamps is a self proclaimed skate punk girl group based out of Nashville made up of lead singer Marisa Maino, guitarist Caroline Baker, and drummer Paige Blue. TikTok users had declared them an industry plant and started devoting videos gaining hundreds of thousands of views explaining why they aren’t actually punk and how they are terrible people with terrible songs. Unfortunately for them, they weren’t gaining views because people liked their song, in fact it was the opposite.
