7:20 AMThe title of this song comes from the Australian expression "tall poppy syndrome," a pejorative term primarily used to describe a social phenomenon in which people of genuine merit are cut down, bringing them down to your level. It is diagnosed by some as a symptom of an ingrained national suspicion of success. Barnett explained: "If someone is doing really well, you tell them they suck to bring them back down to earth. The song just deals with people having strong opinions about things." -- Here is Courntney Barnett performing Live on KEXP in 2021: www.youtube.comEvie - Jun 21, 2022
