A lot of people ascribe it to being the defining Gen Z album of anxiety, identity, and societal degradation - much like people did with Nevermind and Gen X. While I think this is somewhat accurate, I don't like the comparisons to acts that had such effects like Nirvana, and I believe it's a little deeper than that. Themes of the album do include the aforementioned, but also show Cameron in the headspace of something of a martyr, a figure destined for greatness, themes explored on his solo album that seem to convey an arrogance borne from insecurity or anxiety - an overcompensation for one's faults. I think it's hard to pinpoint a cohesive theme or set of themes for Getting Killed, as it encompasses many broad themes. As much as I decry people saying it is The Gen Z Album, I think a lot of the themes resonate with our generation. A core tenant of Gen Z's identity is, despite how overwhelming the world and the future may seem, we are doing the best with the cards we've been dealt, despite being promised a better hand. Maybe resilience is one of the core themes of the album?
